Today I had my very first grad school test. I was REALLY worried, so I spent all morning going over my notes and having small fits. What is the best solutions to my freak outs? A workout! So I threw on my gym clothes, grabbed Caroline and we went to the gym. I only had time for 30 minutes on the elliptical today, but I know it helped. If nothing else I needed that break from studying. I also found that my workout felt better today, just a little bit easier which is awesome. Maybe that means I am benefiting from these workouts!

On a totally random note, see all those windows behind me that are letting in so much lovely light? Every time we go to the gym all the blinds are closed, so I go around the entire gym and open all the blinds. I am starting to wonder if whoever has to close them all is getting frustrated that I'm opening them every day. Although I must say, it so much nicer, and I feel better with all those blinds open, so I will just keep opening them!
I decided this week that I needed to add some strength training to my workout. I really don't enjoy strength training, I think because I'm not burning many calories, so I feel like I'm not doing anything. My sore body the day after doing strength training should tell me that it is actually doing something. My arms are still a little sore from my workout on Wednesday! It will be back to the strength work tomorrow :(
Breakfast: egg sandwich with 2/3 less fat american cheese on a bagel thin, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and banana, coffee with chocolate mootopia
Workout: 30 minutes on the elliptical with a resistance pyramid
Dinner: homemade white pizza with ground turkey and low fat ricotta
