Let's Hear It For The Weekend! Woo!

I have never wanted it to be the weekend so much as I have this week. Well, maybe that's not quite true, but it's been a long frickin' week.

My workouts were totally on plan today, which was great. In fact (and I don't want to jinx it), I have been on plan with my workouts the entire month! I'll post the full report next Wednesday or Thursday. I rode to work (check!), I ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill (check!), I rode from work to the pool (check!) and I did 1100m in the pool this afternoon (check!). Phew! Fridays are turning into my Big Workout Day; how did that happen? And that knapsack is rediculously large and full, so I'll have to look into scaling down a bit. It took every last ounce of energy I had to carry my knapsack and bike up the stairs this evening.

My eating was actually pretty good today, too. When I was locking my bike up this morning the bottle containing my soy milk to make my protein shake spilled all over the sidewalk. Grrr! That meant that I would have to wait until I got to the office to have my first post-workout meal. I bought some skim milk to mix with the protein powder, had my usual large coffee with 1% milk and got a small container of museli cereal. At break, I got another coffee (I couldn't stay awake) and a bagel with peanut butter. For lunch, I had a healthy pita and some lentil soup. I didn't have my usual rice crispy square at afternoon break (maybe that's why I was so tired before/after my swim). I got home around 6:30 and popped a frozen dinner into the nuker. It wasn't a low-cal dinner, clocking in at 430 calories, but it was a healthy dinner with lots of healthy veggies, chicken and pasta (it's actually marketed towards people with active lifestyles to ensure they get as many nutrients as possible). For dessert, I had my usual little chocolate soy pudding that clocks in at a measely 100 calories. It's the best little indulgence as it quenches both my chocolate and creamy cravings.

I'm still feeling a little peckish, but I'm sure that will pass over time. I'm trying to chug down some water to help fill myself up.

The plan for tomorrow is this:

Meet my friends out in Milton for a ride/run/swim. They are going to swim first and I am going to do an extra hour of cycling. I hope to do about 3 hours in total, but a lot of that will depend on the weather (it is SCORCHING hot here). I'll go for a short run afterwards (maybe 10-15 minutes) and then dive into the lake to cool off. Sounds like the perfect day!

So, obviously, I don't have any problems on the exercise front. Now, if I can just get my eating under control a bit... Oh, and find a date. Yeah, that would make everything perfect!
