Day of rest.

Today I am feeling tired. Yesterday I got a lot accomplished so I don't feel bad for laying in bed. I woke up cleaned my room, had breakfast, went for a jog, read over my study materials, and went out to watch the Ravens game with some friends. For breakfast I had an egg and piece of bacon. That held me over while I was cleaning my room and jogged. My roommate and I had planned on going to the gym so while I was waiting for her to wake up I decided to go for a run. I have not ran since July. I really want to become a runner but I have the hardest time staying motivated while I'm doing it. I feel as though I need a running partner. I remember in high school when my cousin and I would run around the neighborhood by our high school. She would pretty much be running backwards and I would be trying to keep up. I never stopped though. My run was short but it's a start. I still have 4 1/2 months before the color run so I have time to train. After my jog, I was hungry again so I made a beef patty that I cut in half and half an avocado. We never made it to the gym so I'm glad I went for that jog. Once I showered I headed to Virginia to watch the game. By the time we got to the bar I was starving again so I ordered a salad. I ate the whole thing. It came with Blackened Shrimp (hope that's paleo enough), onions, tomatoes, and mixed greens. I told them to hold the blue cheese and dressing. It was a little dry but since the shrimp was so delicious I did not mind. The things I'm eating are tasty so it makes it easier to be on this diet. I do wish at times I could have whatever I want but then I think how bad I want to get leaner and that thought vanishes.

Tomorrow I will go into work early and get a workout in. For those of you joining me on this journey remember it's ok to have days where you feel like doing nothing. It's healthy to let your mind and body rest.

I'm going to post a workout later on today so remember to check back in!
