Thursdays Workout: quads and triceps

Today I woke up feeling well and with energy. I got to work and didnt over eat. but snacked several times during the day. Its hard to diet and its hard to diet at my work. I had my Body By Vi for breakfast, a mid morning snack of tuna and

avocado for lunch and a small piece of cake a co worker made, and salad and fruit for lunch. I did have a doughnut and some ice cream after lunch. I was craving a sweet snack and its also a bad thing working at a clinic where the drug reps bring us lots of snacks all day.

After work I went to the gym and was stopped by a guy named Terrance. He was interested in why I was wearing scrubs and what I did for a living. I explained that I am a nursing student and work for a clinic as a medical assistant. I told him I have been going to ACC and once I am finished with my pre and co reques I will transfer to Texas State for their BSN degree.

He told me he wants to be a pro football player and is interested in nursing as a back up plan if foot ball does not become a career. He said he has to wait for financial aid but will apply for ACCs nursing program.

At the gym there were not that many people and I started my workout. Mid way in my workout the gym became packed and no room to finish. Today seems to be leg day. I am thinking about going to the gym in the late evening again.

I need to find some peace and go back to yoga class.

Wednesdays Work Out: pecs and lats

Today I started a strict food intake.
Breakfast was a few pieces of cantaloupe and two or three spoonfuls of cottage cheese. About two hours later I had it again as a snack.

Lunch was a salad with blue cheese, apple slices, raisins, and walnuts.

I had a good workout at the gym and I was happy it was not crowded with trolls.

I’m heading home to drink a protein drink, do some laundry, iron my scrubs for tomorrow, nap, and get up for a jog.
