Today I eagerly looked forward to getting back in the gym. The rest day yesterday had been greatly appreciated by my body, however, and I felt pretty good for most of the day.
A couple times I had some problems at work, but for once I decided to outsource my problems and get help (something I never do). It at least unloaded some of the stress off my shoulders.
My meals were good today and I packed enough food for the day. But by the time I left school (I stayed to do some grading), I was starving!
Luckily enough, my husband was on his way home and was starving as well. So we made the potentially dangerous idea of going out to eat.
Now there was a Mexican restaurant that we’ve always wanted to try called “Tres Carnales”. So for once, we decided to go.
Downtown location
Pretty cool decor, everything Mexican!
I could have eaten way off track, but I decided not to. I ordered a pollo (chicken in Spanish) quesadilla. The ingredients? Fresh everything: corn tortilla, slow cooked shredded chicken and a little bit of cheese. Bingo. I know some of you are looking at that cheese and thinking there is no way that could fit my macros, but guess what! I fit cheese into my daily plan every day. It’s all about the amount you eat and what you’re willing to sacrifice. I find having cheese in my daily plan helps me with cravings because I already feel like I’m getting a treat.
One of the appetizers my husband ordered. They hand make their tortilla chips (so good) and their guacamole is one of the best I’ve ever had!!
After Tres Carnales, we went to the gym and I completed my workout; a round of 8 exercises including the dreaded burpees. I also completed 12 minutes HIIT on the stairs.
Week 2 Day 5 is DONE!
Calm in Christ and Fitness
