As I get ready to go to sleep tonight I look back on the day I had today. Although unfortunately I did not get to go to the gym today (yesterday I went to the gym, went night swimming, and ran a mile before bed. so I gave myself an off day today), I had a quite productive day if i do say so myself. Instead of just sitting around the house like I normally would do on a lazy day, I got out for a few hours. I drove 30 minutes to the county fair and spent a couple hours there with my friend. It was my first time going there so it was worth the drive. Even though I didnt get to the gym, I still felt great. I sweated ALOT as it was almost 90 here today. but most importantly I stayed away from ALL fair food (zepoles, funnel cakes, cotton candy, popcorn) you name it, they had it. And I stayed away from it all. When I got home I raided the fridge to see what I could make for dinner. we had NOTHING. so I went back out to the grocery store and grabbed some chicken breasts, zuchini, greenbeans, strawberry's, banana's and yogurt. for dinner I cooked up a delicious meal. Grilled chicken. I lightly seasoned it with Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, and Salt, put it in a plastic ziploc bag and let it sit in the fridge while i prepped the rest of the food. as a side I cut up the greenbeans, zuchini, and some peppers we had in the fridge, threw them in a ziploc bag and seasoned them with Olive Oil and a pinch of Garlic Salt and let them too sit in the fridge while the grill warmed up. I even decided to throw together a small side salad that had cucumbers, peppers, and carrots. This was my first time using the grill, and if I do say so myself this meal could just be the best meal I've made yet. As a desert I took out the blender, cut up some strawberry's and Banana's, threw them in with some yoplait strawberry yogurt, and a little bit of apple juice (I realized to late we were out of milk which is what i usually use) and made myself a Fresh Strawberry/Banana Smoothie while I watched the movie Heaven Is for Real. Even though today was an Off day from the Gym, I feel it was still a pretty productive day. it definitely added to making this the Best summer ever. Tomorrow its back to the grind.

Wow it was a great day! Avoiding fair food is a major win! That stuff is the worst and takes hours and hours in the gym to work off. Great job!!!
