From gasping for air to treading water

Last week was a rough, stressful week. Sad to say I didn't get enough sleep or do much training, which didn't help. I also ate a lot during the week in an attempt to cope. Didn't help - fruits and veggies don't exactly numb you out like rich, heavy comfort foods do.

Had a chance to catch my breath over the weekend. Did some bodyweight exercises on Saturday, but not a ton. Also did some bodyweight exercises in my apartment this morning, but not a whole lot there either. Also ate on a more regular meal schedule, which helped a lot.

Harley's post (see below - my family thinks I'm crazy) couldn't have come at a more timely moment for me. =)

Breakfast today - sucked the juice out of lots of tangelos, valencia oranges.
Lunch - minneolas and mandarins (raw vegan m&m's , ha!), medjool dates, and celery
Midafternoon - more dates and celery, 1 head green leaf lettuce

After work training- 10 minutes treadmill. some pull-up practice on the assistance machine, interspersed with dips and push-ups. Kwando class (cardio kickboxing?) at the gym.

Dinner - 1 quart fresh OJ. 3 large tomatoes. 2 bell peppers. 1/2 stalk broccoli. 1 avocado.

Feel much better after that intense workout! Hope to sleep well tonight...
