Committed to The Cause

Finally back in an actual gym and training has never felt better.  Did legs today, fully expect to be completely sore tomorrow.  Getting out of bed alone, will prove to be challenging.  I should probably invest in a walker for the day after legs.  Kidding!    My diet has been really clean and the calories steady around 1300 a day.  I’m a little concerned that I’ve only dropped 7 lbs in the last month, since I’ve been eating this way all along.  I’ve considered the possibility that perhaps I am not eating enough, but that always makes me nervous, to think that I should actually be eating more.  Hmmmmm…..  I welcome any and all input in this regard.  I do eat a little more on days that I have a lot of cardio and a more intense weight session.  We’ll see how it goes the next few weeks.

Well, I finally decided to get off my butt and take control over my demons - sugar, refined carbs, cheesecake!!!   Need I go on?  Last week, (week 1), was murder, only did 3 days of cardio, no weight training at all.  I could hardly keep up with my spin classes, definitely could not get the eating every 3 hours under control.  I finally did all of my planning over this past weekend, menus, workouts, everything and this week has gone a lot better!  I’ve hit the gym everyday, no cheating definitely eating every 3 hours.  I pack all my snacks and meals the night before and keep a few power bars in the car in case I’m out running errands and get a little hunger pang.  Keeping the calories at 1200 - 1300 a day / 40% protein, 35% carbs and 25% fat.  So far so good.  Still feeling a little hungry in the evenings before going to bed, which is really weird because before I started my new eating habits I rarely ever ate dinner, then again I never exercised so that could be part of it.  I wasn’t burning any fat or calories therefore I was living off the fat of the land so to speak!  hahahhaha!  My legs are killing me, could hardly get out of bed this morning, but I know I have to work through the pain.  I’m tired - going to sleep now.
