Changing

Yesterday I didn't write anything because I decided to change my workout schedule. Since I have been having trouble sleeping, insomnia is not a fun thing to be dealing with, my thought was that exercising at night might make me more tired. So I tried that yesterday and boy did I sleep good last night.

I did my workout after my hubby went off to bed, then took a hot shower and dried my hair. I went to bed about the same time I usually do, but got up 2 hours earlier. For those that know me that is really huge as I am not a morning person at all. I am going to try doing that again for the next several days and see if I notice a difference.

Back before I move to California from Tucson, AZ I used to work out regularly at Naturally Women. It was great because they had a variety of ways I could workout. I was doing Step Aerobics, High Cardio Aerobics, weights, stair climbing, bicycling, walking and when my knees would start to bother me water aerobics. Unfortunately, since I moved here the only place that has most of those types of exercise costs around $1000 a year and so we never joined.

Anyway, I diverge about the reason I mentioned working out at all before. I was working for Holmes Tuttle Ford and my work day started at 7 AM. Yes, back in the day I "had" to get up early. I was out of the house by 6:15 so I could stop and get breakfast and coffee on my way to work, I would rather sleep than get up and make breakfast. I worked daily until 6 PM and after work I would work out. I did that 5 days a week and then on Saturdays I would go work out in the late morning or early afternoon. I remember when I worked out I would always get a good nights rest. Hopefully that works the same way now.

Yesterday my meals consisted of a bowl of edamame for lunch, dinner was Asian Chicken Salad again, then a small bowl of cereal 1/2 cup of Raisin Bran Crunch and 1 cup of milk. This coupled with two cups of coffee, water and a Heineken Beer.

So far today I have had a cinnamon raisin bagel with margarine and my two cups of coffee. For lunch I will have salad again and for dinner I have planned on pan seared Salmon and some veggies and maybe a glass of white wine with dinner.
