Reality check and Challenge Games Part 1

Hey all you fiiiine lookin' folks!  Happy Monday to ya!  Hope its been treating you all well.  Today was a good day, and I've got lots to talk about :)

Workout: Day 30 LiveFit - Chest, Abs & Cardio
                                          18 min. stairstep - medium intensity
                                           400 meter run

Today was an OK day in the gym.  I did a lot of new-to me exercises so I wasn't super comfortable with them, and didn't quite know how heavy my weights should be, so I think I took it a little to easy, oops.  Oh well, at least now I know what to expect next time.  The thing I've come to realize is that there will rarely ever be a time where I totally know everything.  There will always be something new/challenging.  Which is good cause it keeps me and my body on its toes so I don't get to comfortable.  Which brings me to my next point.  So I know in my roundup I set more mini-goals, but apparently I didn't take into consideration that weight lifting and cardio will result in me feeling like I haven't eaten in 5 million days and come home STARVING!
I've come to the conclusion that I need to use this week to really figure out what I need to eat to keep me full, and to fuel my workouts so I don't come home ready to eat my own arm, which leads to handfuls of cereal, toast and Swedish Fish - which I am currently shoving in my mouth

So for this week I'm putting the mini-goals on the back-burner to figure things out.  I'm going to try and keep and handle on my eats.  I'll let you know what I learn - if anything, at the end of the week.

Today I also had my first company challenge game.  It was a 400 meter relay against 6 other area businesses.  We had a fun team, and met at the High School track a bit early to stretch and stuff.

the dream team.  why do I look like such a nerd



ugh, the only pic of me running and should probably be the last...woof



 Our team took 3rd.  I ran my leg in 1min. 15 sec.  Which I think is good, but I'm not really sure, I don't know much about track and sprints so I don't really know what a good time is.  I sure didn't feel fast though, felt like I was running with cement blocks for feet.  Despite that it was really fun!  I have another game tomorrow too, so be on the lookout.
By the time I got home it was waaaay past my dinner time and I shoved this banana in my mouth faster than you can say "that's what she said".

Then when I got around to actually eating a legit dinner, J-Bobby Flay cooked up this tasty dish

grilled chix & curried rice

It was a pretty eventful and fun Monday if I do say so myself.  Hope you all had an equally entertaining day :)  Have a good evening peeps, catch ya tomorrow!
