Day 7: Payback's a B**ch

     I have been looking forward to the Yoga Fix workout all week. I know it's an active recovery and will stretch out my tired and sore muscles. Considering that we didn't get to bed until 4am (thanks Cross-Bronx Expressway!), getting up at 9am wasn't too bad. I can feel myself dragging a bit, but figure an early-to bed should cure any lingering fatigue.

     I can't bring myself to eat until about 10:30 and go for the standard 1/2 muffin/PB combo (yellow). It's nice to have my daughter home - even if it's only for a day - so I spend the rest of the morning next to her on the couch while she plays a video game. So, no yoga. At around 12:15, I have some cucumber slices (green) with a turkey slider (red and blue) and grilled sausage (red) that one of our friends made for tailgating the night before. We all watch some mindless tv shows into the afternoon and nap a little before my daughter has to get ready to take the train back to the city at 5:30. So, no yoga - maybe after we get back?

     We see her off and do some food shopping - loading up on some yummy produce and a rotisserie chicken that we'll use for salads and such throughout the week. The fridge requires a major rearrange to fit the new groceries, which leaves me barely enough time to text my daughter, reminding her to have her metro card ready to go and all the rest of her belongings secured before she arrives at Penn. I have a serving of pasta with chicken sauce, sprinkled with grated parmesan (yellow, red, and blue!). It takes another 40 minutes to see that she's safely back at the dorm and I am physically and mentally exhausted by this point. So, no yoga.

     I have managed to consume a total of 32 ounces of water for the day and I'm done. I cap off the night with a few glasses of wine and a Balanced Break (blue!). I'm missing 2 greens, 2 purples, and an orange for the day - along with my scheduled yoga workout. I'm not gonna sweat it <--- see what I did there -- all magic comes at a price. We saw a great concert, had a blast with our friends, and I got to spend quality time with my daughter. I'll pick it back up tomorrow.
