So, I slipped up last week and did not post. Sorry to you all for missing. Time to get refocused and committed.
Last week was quite busy...I took one of my CPA exams on Thursday, but I still managed to get 5 days of good hard exercise in. I did three days of training at Alpha Co instead of my usual two. My Friday workout didn't seem to be all that hard, but boy did I feel it on Saturday. Hurt so good! I stuck to my routine of no carbs in the evenings. I have been making a chicken stir fry with veggies and that has been a staple of mine. I take this to work for lunch and eat it for dinner. For lunch I will sometimes eat it over a 1/2 cup of brown rice if I know I am going to have an extra hard workout or long run in the evening. This way I know my body has enough carbs to fuel it. That was food is for our bodies, fuel. If we think of it that way instead of it being all about what tastes good...wow...what a difference that can make! Lean proteins, lots of veggies and salads, and the occasional whole grains.
My goals for this week:
Up my 3 mile runs on Mon/Wed/Sat to 5 miles
Continue to limit carbs to those in vegetable form after lunch
Drink more water (This is crucial - Stay hydrated ladies)
I just want to encourage you all to really listen to your bodies. Concentrate on your breathing. Keep sippin on water when you are working out and stay hydrated. Clear out the noise and focus.
Good job! I've been having trouble pushing it at the gym and it's good to hear the excitement coming from you. I wish I had a friend at work that could go with me, it makes it way more fun! I've been going but not pushing myself as hard as I usually do. We'll see what the scale says when I weigh in in the morning! Your doing so great!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I think I need to read a few more of these blog posts. I haven't been doing myself any favors lately. You are an encouragement and I will definitely try to think of my food a fuel. Then maybe the cravings and binging will go away.
