21 Day Junk Food Free Challenge Day 3

What I ate/drank today

• bowl of raisin bran with whole milk for breakfast around 8am

• Wendy's with coworker, baked potato with chive and sour cream, ceasar side salad around noon
• Apple slices around 4:15pm
• Spinach, sprout, cranberry and avocado salad drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar about 5:50pm
• 1/2 cup yogurt at that same time

What I didn't eat today

Exercise

Today we focused on sculpting our backs. We use a pyramid of reps starting with low weight and 10 reps, 8, 6, 4 getting steadily heavier, but never so heavy that its dangerous to lift. We were at the gym from 6-8. It took a while because there were three of us instead of the normal two. The 3rd person is one of Em's friends who had a baby two months ago, so we were psyched to help her out and get her motivated to get back into shape.

• Warm up 2 miles on treadmill (fast walk)
• One arm pull backs with dumbbell while leaning over on bench
• lateral pull downs
• rows
• Abs

Goal

      I was shaking for most of the day today, just a slight tremble in my hands and a general uneasy feeling in my body. That normally happens when something is up with my diet. I know I'm on the right track because I'm eating well and drinking a lot of water, but I think what is wrong is that I'm not consuming enough calories for the amount of energy I'm expending. Right now my social life is at the gym, so that translates to a lot of time and energy spent there. :) I think the remedy to this is to eat consistently, every three hours like other people who are training do. 

     Yes, I do consider myself to be training now. I'm trying to instill a life long habit of exercise into myself and am currently trying to reduce a few years of neglect. I think that requires some compensation and additional exercise until I'm at a comfortable place with my body.  Serious goals equals serious knuckling down. :)

Random

• I am back at my own house tonight and am done house sitting for my bosses. I hope they got back alright! Their house was very fun to stay in and I loved their kitchen. I definitely look forward to having my own place someday. 
• My cat Yuki is currently tucked under my arm laying on her back with her paws in the air curled into little balls. She's adorable and I missed her even if she is an attention whore. :)    
•  I found a $50 bill on the pavement outside of Target today!!! That was so awesome! 
•      I used that money to pay for a haircut and a couple other things :)
