Yay exercise!

So I did pretty darn good on the exercise front today. I went to a barbell class at my school's gym this afternoon despite coming straight from a disappointing chiropractor appointment. One of my classmates runs this class and she is great at being motivating while still being realistic. It's nice to see that a fitness instructor struggles too...not just breezing through the workout without breaking a sweat. It makes me feel less bad about myself when I can only do about half the triceps set. So hopefully I can make this a weekly thing. A different instructor does the class on Wednesdays and my classmate says it's REALLY different so maybe I'll check it out, or maybe I'll just do strength stuff one day a week and cardio the rest. We'll see how I feel on Wednesday.

How badly am I going to hurt tomorrow? :-P

Food wise I did not so great yesterday and pretty good today in terms of branching out. Yesterday I had tuna salad on crackers for brunch/lunch (yes I sleep late on my days off!) and went out to dinner at a Thai restaurant for a friend's birthday. So that doesn't count as a an improvement in me eating healthy OR cooking for myself :-P Today though, I ate cereal for breakfast. Yes I know it's not that healthy but it's better than the days I don't eat breakfast at all, and like I said I'm not a morning person so dont expect this meal to be where I improve for quite a while! Then left over tuna salad for lunch, with grapes on the side! See I can eat healthy food...oh wait, I had a soda too...shhh that'll be our secret. I made...wait for it...HOMEMADE burritos for dinner! Ground beef (yes I put salty seasoning goodness on it, what of it?), refried beans (from the can, I'm not that industrious yet), lettuce, tomato, green olives, cheddar cheese and salsa. So while that may not seem like an accomplishment to many of you it took more than 10 minutes and I had to do more than boil water so for me it is :-)

I LOVE Mexican food (and yes I know tostitos totally doesn't count as real Mexican food but that's what I had in my house).


Studying...lets just pretend this doesn't exist for a little while longer haha.
