Day 3 - Weekend Workout

Waking up at 6:30AM on a Saturday just isn't right! After recovering from the shock of my alarm this morning I noticed that my shins and hamstrings were sore. I went to bed last night at 10:45PM, having stayed up too late watching a movie with the kids, and feel asleep immediately.

After getting dressed and taking my medicine, I grabbed my GymBoss just in case and took off walking. After the 6 minute warm up, I felt better so I did the run/walk workout as planned. I noticed that I didn't post how far I'd gone yesterday, so I calculated it up using Gmaps Pedometer, and it was 2 1/2 miles. I took a slightly different route this morning that was also 2 1/2 miles long.

Breakfast this morning was more of the same. I hard boiled some eggs last night and it was nice this morning to peel three eggs, throw away the yolks for two of them and, ta da, eggs. No mess. I cooked up another batch of steel cut oats this morning. Since I didn't scramble the eggs with olive oil I ate whole almonds to make up the fat blocks.

Breakfast
1 whole egg and 2 eggs whites [2P]
1/3 scoop protein powder [1P]
1/2 cup 2% milk [0.5P/0.5C/1F]
2/3 cup steel cut oats [3C]
7 1/2 whole almonds [2.5F]
Dash of cinnamon and nutmeg to spice up the oatmeal

Provided I stick to the Zone diet for the rest of today I will have hit all of the immediate goals I set for myself on Wednesday!

I need to reread the Zone book today and make up a menu for the rest of this weekend and next week. I'll also be taking my measurements so I'll post those soon as well. I'll work on my short, intermediate, and long term goals this weekend and post them on Monday.
