It's funny; I thought that being on Spring Break this week would mean I'd do a better job with my food and exercise. I'd have constant access to all our lovely, fresh fruits and vegetables and refrigerated meats, etc, and I could work out whenever instead of having to fit it around my insane work schedule. Instead, my inclination has been to be a bit lazier with my food choices, I move less in general, and keep putting off exercising. It's weird! I'm not doing so well with all the freedom.
FOOD:
Because I'm able to sleep in this week, I'm finding it harder to fit all my calories into a smaller window of wakefulness. Normally, there's a very specific window of time in which to eat breakfast and lunch and then I have to wait eons to get home and have dinner which keeps me on my toes and hungry. Now, I'm struggling to eat a piece of pizza and a salad so soon after breakfast. I did, however, manage a much better balance of fruits and vegetables today and less 'extras.'
EXERCISE:
None today. But surprisingly my arms are really sore from yesterday's exercise catastrophe. I'm going to rest up so that tomorrow will be a proper lifting day.
LEARNED:
I have to be extra vigilant when I'm following a self-imposed schedule because I seem to slip into bad habits easily. I should set rough times to eat and work out and stick to them as the day progresses.

QUESTIONS:
- what are other weighted leg exercises besides squats that I can do without a gym?
- should I take 'before' photographs now or is it not worth it?
