Didn't make it to the gym again, since I started work at 4:30am and ended at 8pm. Did do a lot of running around (literally - because I was late for all my meetings) so I'm counting that as exercise.

I don't know if my quote counts as inspirational, but it fits my day. At least I got up before the sun!

Skipped breakfast today (oops) because I got up super early and wasn't awake enough to remember ;). Did a quick at-home workout, but I really need to get to the gym. I can't wait until its light late enough that I can run after work again.

Today was a rest day from serious workouts, but i did do thousands, and a lot of stairs up and down to count for strength and cardio. I had fruit for breakfast, a whole grain chicken sandwich for lunch, and the last of the homemade bread and fruit for dinner.

For the decluttering, I've been finishing up home projects, so the house feels cleaner and less like an "in-progess" area.

wow... i ran 5.7 miles today. outside. at a constant pace. I remember when i could barely make it a mile without stopping.

Also I finished 1000's for the month! I still did some today for strength training, although my arms are sore (!) from moving rocks yesterday. I also remember when I couldn't do pushups at all. Maybe I should try pull ups next?

Catchup for Friday: did cross training and thousands although not at the gym . I had a drink at dinner (work event) but I did order the healthiest thing on the menu (pasta with veggies, broth soup), which I then promptly got crap for... *sigh*. I guess that's why I come to SoWo to get my positive feedback for being healthy. :)

Catchup for saturday (which is still today on the west coast :) )

went for a quick run, followed by thousands and stretching/foam rollering. Did even more strength training by moving rocks in the front yard. Tomorrow is supposed to be a long run again!

Took it easy today - i'm counting my yoga as my workout, plus thousands and stairs for cardio. Breakfast was bread with almond butter, lunch was brown rice with chicken and veggies, and dinner was cereal with fruit and milk.

Monday was a rest day. I just did a quick yoga session (it felt good after the long run on Sunday) and thousands before bed. For cardio, I'm counting the stupid amount of stairs and walking between buildings in our office complex... I definitely felt my legs on Monday!

Time for catch up posts... Wednesday: buckwheat bread with almond butter for breakfast. Went to the gym for cross training and did an extra set of thousands to make up for the day I missed last week. Dinner was more homemade bread and almond milk plus fruit. Lunch was definitely not clean :)
