Woah, Wind!

I woke up this morning, had my snack of 1/2 mini wheat bagel with 1/2 tbsp pb and 1 tsp jam, got all ready to head down to the gym. When I got outside it was SOOO cold, and SOOO windy I was taken aback!
I actually jogged down the hill (my warmup!) because I couldn't stand walking.
Getting myself to go to class in a bit is definately not going to be easy.

I went for a nice long 40 minute run, a great way to start off the week!
For breakfast I'm using what I have, before I start using the groceries I bought yesterday!
I had the last of my wheat mini-bagels... theres 12 in a bag, and unfortunately I had to waste 2... they're definately not going to be good after today. I think I made them last though!
So I had the other 1/2 of the bagel with my other 1/2 tbsp PB, 1 tsp jam, and 1 cup 1% cottage cheese with the rest of my no-sugar-added peaches, and 1/4 cup yummy fresh blueberries. Got most of my food groups in there, and I'm nice and full!

Today's another long day... Kinesiology, hopefully grabbing a quick lunch... lets see how long the lines are, and then my nutrition classes until 6:45.
Of course tonight is going to be spent with my Organic Chem textbook... 1st big exam tomorrow, I'm so nervous!
I studied a good amount this weekend already, hopefully I'm pretty prepared.

It's gunna be a long, cold one for sure... hopefully the rest of the week is warmer!
Have a nice start to your week!

heyyy! do you run on the treadmill? what other kind of workouts do you like to do at the gym?

We actually don't have treadmills here on campus, so I use the indoor track; usually running about 5 miles. When I'm at home I run on the treadmill, usually on a slight incline, 2-4%. I prefer a nice run outside, though!
I also like to vary it by walking/jogging on an even higher incline; more around 10%.
When I go to the gym and do cardio machines, I usually mix it up between the elliptical and stationary bike. I'm scared of the step machine!

I also strength train a couple times a week, pushups and situps, lunges, squats (I like to use a bosu ball when I'm home!) and free weights. Once in a while I'll use weight machines, when the burly muscle guys aren't around! =)
