My Day in Pictures 11/10

It was kind of a cloudy day, but overall the temperature was pretty pleasant. If I didn’t have my work out classes in the morning, I probably would have went for a run. I really haven’t ran outside in maybe a week or two, and it’s bumming me out a bit. It’s funny how difficult it is to find a good work out partner, especially when you’re around so many people… ALL THE TIME. 

Speaking of my working out… today, I really enjoyed my workout classes. In my Total Body Conditioning class, we did a lot of partner work, where we had to lift and drag (my partner was probably around 125, which was a welcomed challenge but not too hard) and in my Cross Training class we did tons of circuit training (running/calisthetics/myheartratewasdefinitelyup!) And then on top of that, I ran 1.5 miles on the treadmill. 

Total workout time = around 2 hours = around 750 calories burned

Food wise, was an ok-transition. Definitely not full-on healthy, but I’m getting there! For breakfast, since I have class so early, all I really got in was a banana. But for lunch I had about a cup of pasta, 4 pita chips and salad w/ cucumbers, carrots, lettuce and Italian dressing. For dinner, I had a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and mustard. nomnoms. (Oh, and I had 2 1/2 oatmeal raisin cookies.. couldn’t help myself! I blame being on my period :P)

At work, all I did was watch Prison Break. What a life. BTW, those aren’t my posters. Nelson Mandela… great guy. But I sit in the African Studies office, hence all the Afro-pride.
