It all adds up!
It hasn’t been quite 2 weeks since I implemented my nutrition “rules” approach with the goal of adhering to them 90% of the time, and all ready the results are coming in. I weighted myself yesterday and today (for a sanity check), and I’m down 3 pounds. My scale shows me at 119.6, but I rounded up to 120. I’ve changed up my training a bit, but nothing drastically different. So I’ve got to believe it is the tweaks to my eating. With my different approach to nutrition, I’ve really cut out the mindless snacking while preparing meals. It was never anything major – still healthy foods for the most part and nothing in significant quantities. But I’ve learned that it can add up and make a different. So now, I’ll just get out a handful of carrots or celery sticks to nosh on while preparing dinner. I think addressing this issue alone resulted in the loss of those 3 pounds and a leaner me. I plan to take a pic this weekend to show it… before Easter dinner though.
On a training note… after yesterday’s strength training workout followed by a metabolic circuit for today’s workout, I’m feeling good, but ready for a couple low key days. My DOMS and muscle fatigue are at good levels today… not too much but definitely there. Tomorrow I’ll hit the indoor cycling class just because it may be my last one for a while. Then Saturday is boot camp and I’m trying to focus more on the instruction and pushing my participants to work hard. I should be ready for a grueling Easter Sunday strength training workout by then.
And I’m very proud to say that I haven’t had any marshmallow Peeps yet this Easter season! But Easter hasn’t come and gone yet… the Easter Bunny may just leave some. And unfortunately, my son and husband do not like them and my daughter is too little for them.

Chocolate Easter bunny, Lordy Lordy help me! Marshmellow Peeps, eh not so much. Chocolate’s my kryptonite (not that I’m a superhero).
Happy Easter.
