Today was a pretty good day, I worked out for a longer time than usual, getting in 3,000 steps during my workout and then sprinting twice. I ate Oatmeal for breakfast and then a Salad for lunch, and soup and a sandwich with Tater Tots baked in the oven for dinner. So not too shabby a day.
Tomorrow I go back to work and get to have Breakfast for Dinner! One of my favorite dinner meals. Eggs, Turkey Bacon, Sausage and Pancakes! Not the healthiest, but absolutely delicious!
It has been a particularly stressful week thanks to medical and personal stuff. Trying to make some big decisions about my career and so on, and as we all know stress can really make the pounds pack on. It makes it hard to sleep and the stress hormone cortisol makes your body go into protection mode and store extra fat. This is never helpful when you are trying to lose weight, but when someone figures out a way to erase stress from life, please let me know so I can do it too! I always feel that after a large amount of stress, a boxing workout feels amazing, it gets lots of stress worked out and gets the endorphins flowing which makes you feel happy. I was actually hyper after working out for a while yesterday.
So if you are stressed like I am and you need some energy and some extra strength to face the day, get your exercise in and let the endorphins flow!
