Day One, Monday....today I was back to working my Monday double, and because it's slowed down a LOT at the restaurant it wasn't really that bad. I was done with my morning shift around 2:00 and had three hours to enjoy lunch with my coworkers, do a little shopping/returning at the mall, and sit in Panera and read for an hour or so before I had to go back to work. So though I didn't make as much as I have been lately, it's kind of nice how relaxed it's been lately :) So no working out, as I was away all day!
Day Two, Tuesday...today I had to work lunch at the restaurant, and it was even slower than Monday!! I was done by 1:30 which was great because I planned on hitting the gym to get a cardio workout in on my way home. I had a date with my friend Tom to do dinner and get my hair cut (he has been my hair guru, and I don't use that word lightly or ironically, for the past...seven??...years now) so I wanted to get my workout in before that and still be able to leave for his house before rush hour since he lives about 45 minutes away, on the opposite side of the cities from me. I did the day one running plan but was starting to feel my stomach starting to eat itself which was sort of unpleasant :( It's hard when I work out at odd times of the day (especially after work it seems) because I just can't have the energy I need because I can't really eat at the right times. I tried to have a meal replacement bar about an hour before my workout, but it wasn't quite enough. I have heard that it takes about two hours for your body to really be able to start burning what you have eaten, so I guess what is in your stomach two hours before your workout has to be enough to get you through. Anyway, I was happy to be able to squeeze a workout in and then I had a fabulous evening (and even more fabulous haircut) with Tom!!
