I have bad news and good news. I will start with the bad news and end with the good news.

The bad news: I did not make it to the toning class this morning. I took a sleep aid last night because I have not been sleeping well lately and this morning when my alarm went off I sleepily shut it off and went right back to sleep without skipping a beat. I didn’t even remember until I woke up about an hour and a half later form my husband’s alarm. I did make it to the gym to get in a mile run, a quarter mile walk and some arms and stretching.

The good news: My nutrition was on point today! For breakfast I had one cup of cooked oats made with a teaspoon of Nutella and a teaspoon of chia seeds. After my workout I had a huge smoothie with strawberries, pineapple, greek yogurt, half a banana, water and a huge handful of kale. If you are ever looking for a way to eat healthy on a budget check out your local Farmer’s Market. We got an entire bag of kale for $2.00. My husband and I have made two smoothies each and still have a ton left.

For lunch I had some Triscuits dipped in hummus, a cheese stick, an apple (from the Farmer’s Market where a bag with 10 apples was $5.00 and they are all local and delicious) and a Kind bar. Trader Joe’s is a great place to find organic protein bars like Kind, Mojo, Luna and Larabars for a really good price. For dinner I had grilled chicken, steamed spinach and rice.

I am going to strive to eat just as well tomorrow and to try and get a more intense workout on the books.
