Progress + Sprite helps + a discount code!

This was after our run in the rain on Tuesday. My hair was SOAKED. I wanted to take a shower after Jake left for work, so I threw on my robe and a towel on my hair. I think I chugged two cups of coffee, trying to get warmed up.

Breakfast! Sautéed veggies and eggs.

YUM.

After breakfast, I did some stretching and weights for a little bit before my shower. I had to throw on my favorite sweats because I was still cold.

I finally showered, then got started on some work. I didn’t get nearly as much as I wanted finished yesterday, but that’s okay. I’ll get caught up this week. Before I knew it, it was lunch time. I had a huge smoothie and lentils with goat cheese and Sriracha. I was meeting my editor at McAlister’s at 1P, but I was starving around 11, so I just got coffee when I met her. I got my fourth chapter back from her and handed off my fifth! I was worried about the fourth chapter because I wrote the whole thing in one weekend, but she said it was actually good! PHEW. Huge sigh of relief. I will hopefully get edits finished on it Friday. There aren’t too many!

When I got home from my meeting, I was hungry again. I had a protein ball, carrots, and a rice cake with honey on top. It hit the spot!

I wanted to nap so badly. I think the rainy weather was making me more tired than usual.

So, I got up and did some of my headstand stuff to get my body moving a little. I think this is the best I’ve done so far!

Post-headstand hair…HA!

Then I did some exercises with bands before sitting down to do a little more work. Working out in slippers isn’t the best choice…

I sipped on some Healthade Kombucha while I worked. Any Kombucha with ginger is my favorite.

I mentioned awhile ago that I used to RELIGIOUSLY track calories – for YEARS. Well, I became obsessed with it, so I made myself stop. Now, every few months, I will track for one whole day, just to make sure I’m not missing out on anything. But I only track one day! I honestly don’t do much with macros or calories on a daily basis anymore, but here’s the summary from my day yesterday. Not too shabby! When Jake is training crazy hard, I will count calories in some of our dinners, just to make sure he’s getting enough. I love this kind of stuff, but if I focus on it too much for me personally, I become obsessed with it. When I track, I put ALL my meals in for the day in the AM. I just like to know what I’m having and I like to look at the numbers/nutrition. I really do get too crazy with it.

For dinner, we were having turkey burgers topped with these goodies – banana peppers, goat cheese, onion, and avocado.

We also had salad and sweet potato fries. It was delicious! But something did not sit well in my stomach. I have no clue what it was, but last night was miserable.

I also had a little glass of wine from our Bota Box. I couldn’t finish it all because my stomach was upset. That NEVER happens.

Lu stared at Jake like this for a long time. She sure loves her Dad!

Since my stomach was so upset, Jake went and got me a Sprite and I got some Aspen cuddles. I started to feel a little better around 11 last night and I’m feeling almost back to normal this morning. Who knows!
