Day 6 - Down 2 Pounds

Today has been a great day, although I have still been quite tired. I didn't sleep great last night and probably should have taken today off in regards to exercise. Hindsight is always 20/20...
I decided at the beginning of the challenge that I would weigh myself once a week to track my progress, to make sure that I was heading in the right direction. When I weighed myself this afternoon I was very pleased to be down by just over 2 pounds. I don't have a weight goal in mind, but I am excited that I am feeding my body well and it's changing!

I started out my morning with 4x800meter (1/2 mile) intervals. I did pretty good on my times for the first 3 and the last one I started fading fast. My times were: 3:40, 3:36, 3:24, 4:15. Thankfully it wasn't super hot, but I still struggled towards the end to even want to finish. But I did. I pushed myself. That's the only way I will ever get better!
Here is what I had to eat today.
Breakfast - 2 whole and 3 white hard-boiled eggs, 1 spoonful coconut manna
No Morning Snack because I didn't eat breakfast until 9am
Lunch - Tuna and 1/2 avocado over a bowl of spinach, small bowl of squash, 1 apple
Snack - Primal Pac
Dinner - Zoe's Greek Salad with Chicken (no potato salad, no feta, and extra grilled onions)
I did have someone say that they would starve if they ate what I did. Eating a good breakfast and eating quality fats throughout the day really does make a huge difference. I feel completely satisfied at the end of the day and in no way feel like i'm starving myself. When i'm hungry, I eat:)

I am most certainly looking forward to bed tonight and pulling out Brian Kest's Power Yoga DVD tomorrow morning for a good, much needed stretch. And, I'm trying 3 new recipes this week so stay tuned!!
