First workout... in a while.

So today was the first opportunity to get to the gym. Today was a pretty simple day. I did a total of about 40 minutes of Cardio (Treadmill and Bike) then I did a light back and bicep workout. Nothing fancy, just a reminder to my muscles about what working out feels like again. Other than that, I went grocery shopping. I find grocery shopping after a workout is the best way to go. Yes you may be all sweaty and gross. But when your walking down the isles and your legs are tired and your muscles hurt, that last thing you throw in your shopping cart is junk.

I stocked up on chicken, tilapia, red potatoes, banana's, yogurt, eggs (with omega-3) and non-fat milk. I keep my eating fairly simple.

Breakfast: Eggs, whole wheat toast, milk. Or I will have Oatmeal.

Lunch: Turkey or Ham and cheese sandwich, some fruit and water.

Snacks: Fruit, power bar, baby carrots, Tillamook sharp.

Dinner: Usually Fish or Chicken, brown rice or noodles or potatoes, and Water

Alternatives: I love ground Turkey. I buy a lot of it. It is great for BBQ'ing burgers, or browning and adding to spaghetti. I also buy the Whole Wheat Sandwich thins instead of buns. They also make turkey brats, which I have talked about before. OktoberFest coming up is a great time to sub those in for a meal.

Anyways, Thats about how my day went. Boring but fairly productive. I am excited about starting this adventure again. I am just easing my way back in. Going "gung ho" if you will doesn't work for me.
