Fresh Today: Meals and Training
So here's what's going on today for me:

I dramatically decreased my protein intake today; I found an old picture of myself which I loved. In the foreground of the picture was my tupperware containers filled to the brim with fresh vegetables and in the background, the fridge with the meal plan I was following at that time posted on it. And there I was, skin clear, at my ideal slim weight with a huge smile on my face and in my eyes. So I searched the computer for my meal plan I followed around that time. I'm changing back to something with less protein, and lots more fresh vegetables. Let's see if I can steady my mood swings, clear my skin, and lose my extra weight by going back to a time when I really loved myself and the nutrition plan I followed.
Do you have a picture of yourself you love? How does your self compare to your self in that picture? What about those pictures you have which you hate?

Then the speaker asks if we could possibly change all 60 pot-lights and 100 chandelier lights to a brighter light bulb because she feels it's just too dark in the room. Oh, and by the way- the plants in the room are giving off the wrong energy. Needless to say I've had an exhausting day and this goes on until Saturday. So I didn't get my cardio in today, but my leg work in the morning was peaceful. I also had to just grab nibbles between managing sound, catering and coordination staff. So my meals were what I had planned them to be, but not at the right times, and not all of it was eaten.
530am: 45 min glute/leg work
700am: Hearty High Fiber/Protein pancakes with strawberry jam (no sugar added)
1100am: 3oz chicken breast, 1/2c brown rice, 1Tbsp ketchup
130pm: 1.5c turkey vegetable soup
430pm: 2.5oz tuna with lemon juice, handful (maybe 3oz) baby carrots
I have no idea when I'll get to eat supper, but it will be vegetables and lean protein.
Then sleeeeep before the madness that is the next 3 days begins.
The question on my mind is will I be able to maintain my morning workouts with my super early mornings? I know I won't be able to do my second workout, so the morning ones are the only ones I could do. What if I took the next three days off workouts? Would that be helpful to get me through the long days? Or would a workout give me more energy for the day?
