A Week in the Zone: Thursday

I had a very… what’s the PC word I’m looking for?… challenging…

I had a very challenging day at work today. And not in that good-challenging or fun-challenging or make-me-strong-challenging way of a CrossFit workout.

No. My day was challenging as in “TOTALLY SUCK-ASS.”

I couldn’t get it together to take photos of my food today. I’m tired. I’m hungry. My hormones are receding so I can enjoy the gift of being a woman. (It’s not fair! I don’t even want to have babies.) Based on all of the previous statements, you’d be correct in assuming I’m cranky.

But I loved my workout this morning, and I ate good-tasting, healthy food today, so not a total loss. I have to admit: I’m seriously considering a small serving of popcorn right now, but I’ll have it with some protein so y’all can rest easy.
