B: Purple power protein shake.
L: Lightly fried chicken sandwich on a sesame seed bun with lettuce and tomato, a side salad with a lot of veggies and red wine vinegar, carrots and celery with lite ranch, and to finish it off a slice of gluten-free banana bread. YUM!
D: Grilled chicken breast with brown rice and black beans, and a tomato, onion, and balsamic vinegar mixture.
S: Post-workout shake.
S: I was still a little hungry before going to bed so I had a few pita chips and hummus.
As you can tell, calorie count is not a big deal for me right now as I have to pick up my metabolism by eating every few hours and since I am burning cals at the gym, my body is requiring more nutrients and protein.
For my workout I did interval training on the treadmill for a little over a mile and finished it off with core exercises for 15 mins. It was a lite workout because I was SO sore from the weight lifting I did for days 1 & 2. Gotta rest your muscles...
Other than tracking my health log I also want to share some insight into my life. My spirit was SO HAPPY all day because I received an invitation into the Phi Mu Soroity! Yah! This is all so new to me, but I have met such INCREDIBLE women, that I know I am in the right place and that my future has so much in store....
The funny thing is, once I got home from our fantastic Bid Day celebration, I was told of some bad news from Venezuela. My Godmother's little girl was rushed to the hospital because her failing liver condition was worsening and causing her to have side-effects. Oh, did I mention she is only 7 months old and was born with a serious list of health complications? It just broke my heart. I broke down in tears because no child should ever deserve to be fighting for her life at such a young age.One moment I was jumping for joy at FAU, but then life hit and I felt a rush of fear knowing that this was a very real situation.
I am asking all my prayer warriors out there to PRAY for my little cousin, Estefania. She is a little fighter with a mean punch because she has continually survived such life-threatening moments for these past 7 months. God has taught us all a lesson and my family and I are trusting in Him to help us get through this. Although I struggled with that all night, this morning I saw this picture on Facebook that another cousin posted of our little fighter....
