Mondays are rough. After the relaxation and fun of the weekend, classes, meetings and piles of work are a bit of a reality check. Even more of a reality check is the fact that there are only a little over three weeks left of my junior year of college.
After deferring my run to the afternoon to get a little extra sleep, I had a hearty bowl of cereal for breakfast to start me off on the right foot for my busy day. For lunch I had a Luna bar between classes and then some fruit, yogurt and granola a little bit later.
My 40 minute run this afternoon was great, but it was definitely a struggle to finish. Today was hot and muggy, which as a long time Georgian I should be used to, but it always takes a run or two to get reacquainted with the heat again. I am hoping that we still get a few more pretty spring days before the full on summer heat though!
After my run I snacked on a 100 calorie pack of pretzels with some chocolate hazelnut butter. No the chocolate hazelnut butter was not necessary, but it was a good little pick me up in my late afternoon slump.
It ended up being a good thing that I had a larger snack today, because my meetings ran late and I didn’t get to eat dinner until almost 9 o’clock! I hate eating late, so I just grabbed a Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Salad to keep my stomach from growling in the library…I don’t want any angry stares directed my way.
Hope you are surviving your Monday! Make sure to check SELF.com for tips on how to stay on track, no matter how crazy your schedule.
