I had a very busy today. It started with an early morning trip to my doctor’s office for blood work (fasting, and believe me when I say that no food is bad enough, but no coffee? Yeah, okay, just stay out of my way.). And it ended with a relaxing massage courtesy of my man Josh. In between, I tackled a lot of chores (including five loads of laundry), hit the gym to run intervals, and even managed to go out and have a lovely lunch with my friend, Jackie.
Tex-Mex is one of my biggest downfalls, and the grilled mahi mahi tacos were wonderful. As were the few chips I allowed myself, and the salsa. I didn’t, though, fall off the wagon enough to allow a prickly pear margarita into my meal. And it’s a very good thing. Because running intervals an hour after eating Tex-Mex is not something I would recommend. I wondered if the chips and salsa were going to make a reappearance more than a few times, and I’m positive a margarita would have been the deciding factor. I have made a habit of losing things on the treadmill this week – my nano, as reported in an earlier post, and, oddly enough, two navel rings. Losing my lunch would have been the icing on the cake – or rather, the Tex-Mex on the treadmill.
But I managed to hang on to everything today, and I had a nice little interval session indeed.
In the gym by myself:
