Avocados and running?

Hello there, everyone...

Really pumped about the work out today. It was definitely not as calm and not as "easy" as it was yesterday. The one yesterday I felt really energized and pumped.  This workout left me tired and exhausted.  I definitely pushed myself, so that is really positive.  I guess that is an ok deal though.  Means I worked really hard.  I am looking forward to these workouts, and that is still positive. Today I worked out with a good bud which was incredibly helpful. West Wing, Coach, and Pitch Perfect definitely didn't hurt. Walked/Ran (yes, you read that right) for 2 miles and burned about 180 calories.  I actually gained a pound, but after talking to a fitness guru, it seems that it can sometimes happen when you add a new part of your lifestyle, so I'm just going with it.

After the workout today, I wanted to be sure that I stayed on the same track. My parents wanted to have   burgers tonight. I really didn't want to kill what I had done, so I decided that I would spice up my burger.

I had just a basic burger. No bun. Added a little cheese (major weakness) added butter lettuce (grown hydroponically-dad was excited) then added tomatoes and finally my new favorite food-avocado.  It was absolutely awesome.  Making a few more choices to have more vegetables, I'm hoping to really make sure this healthier choices thing sticks.  

Also got some great advice from a dear friend who is an inspiration for weight loss said that if I worked out during the five days of the week that taking the weekend off to rest the body would be alright.  I am going to take this advice and run with it. I don't want to let myself or anyone else down. I want to do my best to keep up with all of this this time...

Until next time...
