So Wednesday night was my first softball game with my new team. It felt great to be out there playing again. It's a lot of fun. Even if your team doesn't win, which we didn't. But that's okay. I still got a chance to go out there and run around and sweat a lot. I don't know if that was from playing softball or because it was muggy out. Probably a good combination of both. The field where we play is about a half mile from my apartment, so to increase my workout, I drove home after work and got changed for the game and then walked to the field and back. Not only did I get an extra mile of walking in, I also didn't have to do deal with the crappy parking at the park. So it was a win win despite the loss. As for yours truly, I went 2 for 2 both base hits and I scored twice. So I did get a lot of running in. I sort of pulled my groin a bit when my foot slipped stopping at 3rd. So that made me a bit sore. But other than that I'm good.
I also started implementing my stair taking regimen. Granted I don't leave my workstation much and if I do, it's not to go downstairs. But when I am down there, I take the stairs up and down. Just another little thing I can do to help myself out.
As far as food goes, I had a small bowl of cheerios for breakfast with nonfat milk. Again, I'm just trying to finish some stuff off rather than throw it away. For lunch I had a make it yourself salad from one of our great commissaries here. It was a mix of spring greens and spinach with carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms, red onions, roasted peppers & zucchinis, chicken and a hardboiled egg. I made the salad a little big and made part of it my afternoon snack as well. For dinner we had rotisserie chicken from the market and some broccoli. So far so good. I'm looking forward to wrapping up my first project and week at the new job. My goal for next week will be to start getting myself back into the gym after work. Slowly, but surely.
