I did wake up and go to the gym this morning....wahoo! I didn't go to my usual 6am though. I went to the 8:30 class. And since I had a meeting at 10, I brought my work clothes and shower stuff to the gym and got ready there.
Since I knew I would be running around today I made myself a smoothie (zone of course) for breakfast, which I drank after the gym. Supposedly you are suppose to eat breakfast within one hour of waking up. That has always been an issue for me, since I usually wake up at 5 to go to the gym at 6...and food in my stomach before a WOD is never a good thing! I usually just eat half a Lara Bar to hold me over until after the workout. So I had my smoothie at 10 at my meeting. After the meeting Dad and I went to Chick-fil-a. It smelled sooooo good, even before we stepped inside the doors. Mmmm, I LOVE their waffle fries!...BUT, I was good. I got the char-grilled chicken sandwich, a small fruit cup, and a side of chick-fil-a sauce. Since I had breakfast just a couple hours earlier, this was just a one block snack. I threw away the bun and I cut up the chicken breast and only ate about an ounce (1 block protein) and brought the rest home for a snack later. I dipped the chicken in the chick-fil-a sauce (1 block fat) and then the side of fruit for my block of carbs. So even though I was on the road this morning...and was tempted with the delicious smell of waffle fries...I was able to keep in zone!
