Pizza with a side of re-inspiration

For those of you that know me, you might be aware that I am facing some challenges at home right now that aren't going to be easily resolved without a huge, heaping dose of stress!

Thinking back to how I used to handle these types of situations; a bottle (or two) of wine, bad TV, and a pack of smokes, I feel the need to be ultra cognizant of my emotions right now in order to prevent picking up bad habits.

For the past couple of weeks, amidst some of the aforementioned stress, I haven't been eating the best and there have been a few more glasses of wine than what I consider to be "on plan". I have forgiven myself and I am moving forward, hoping to turn some of the negative energy into energy that I can use to finally start seeing gains in the gym and putting miles and miles on the open road in preparation for my marathon that is less than 3 months away. I have been re-inspired.

So....all that said, this weekend was fabulous!

I hit the gym hard on Saturday, crushing my legs and still experiencing DOMS 2 days later. Sunday was back, biceps and a spinning class led by an instructor that must have been under the influence of some type of speed. Today? HIIT cardio session and heavy HEAVY triceps and chest.

All this working out makes a girl hungry. A trip to Trader Joe's resulted in an easy pizza; whole wheat pita bread, organic pizza sauce, skim milk mozz, and veggies, veggies, and more veggies.

In order to stay 100% accountable, I will be sharing my diet here each and every day for the next month.
