What a day!!

You know, today was one of the most productive days of my journey. I went to attend a luncheon (that was an awesome meeting of encouraging woman!) that was at a buffett. I know what you might think, I am sabotaging myself right? On the contrare! I'll explain my eventful day.

I set my alarm to go to the gym around 8. Well, let's just say that it didn't happen. One person once told me, "you want to make God laugh? Plan!" By that statement alone is why I should have known. But anywho, I got up later than I should have. Now what reminded me about today was a text about the lunch and now I'm thinking, " how will I work out and come back in time to go the spot?" Well, I figured out the bus times realize that I had almost 2 hours to work out so that's what I did. I focused on cardio (as I posted in an earlier post) and boy did I go for it!

I alternated between the elipitical and treadmill. The goal was to keep changing it up to allow my workout to be effective. Plus, I breathe differently on each one so that also challenges my breathing so I can strengthen my lungs as well. I sweated my butt off!! The problem was that by the time I got home, I had to get ready in less than 30 minutes... Not good...at all.

When I got back, I got myself together (no break at all) and left out the door forgetting a vital nurishment: water. So I get to the bus stop ( which that bus stop is quite a ways from where I stay at) and I start becoming a feast for bugs. A little while later, I get on the bus and start feeling the effects. It helped a little that I was on an air conditioned bus, but I soon realized that it was not by much. I get off the bus and... It was getting serious yall! By the time I got halfway there, I was about to vommit and I was getting dizzy. I've blacked out one time before so I remember the onset of it.  But I made it and I immediately drank the water and had to wait a minute before I got up. When I did get up, I got sushi ( my favorite!) their lightly sauteed green beans, wonton soup (favorite soup from there), and a variety of fruit.

I ate it (slowly bacause I still felt quizzy) and from that point on, I only got really small plates from the time on. Plus, I drank a LOT of water. It took me a bit but, I got through it. I wasn't full, but satisfied. I can't say I feel bad about anything I ate because it's things I like and in small portions! But after coming back from a great lunch ( great lessons to be learned from it), I came back and put on some looser clothes and went to walk off some of the food to kick start my caloric burning process. It was important that I do because I know I have a slow metabolism is, and I have to rev it to keep it from storing all of the fat.

Didn't I say eventful?
