I do not want to be part of the new “diet” phase
Or maybe I’m wrong and its not the new diet phase but I’ve gotten, not 1, not 5, but 15 different emails about being a vegetarian and I’ve never signed up for any vegetarian websites, but it seems all the fitness guru’s are jumping on board.
Whatever floats their boat but what floats my boat is an occasional ribeye. Or a nice chicken breast. Or some yummy salmon. And lets not forget my favorite during the winter holidays:turkey. Yes I love me some turkey during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I think I’ll just keep working with want works best for my body. Once upon a time I jumped on all diet crazes. I even ingested Slim Fast and swore to myself it tasted yummy and not powdered chalk. No sir it was delicious.
What works best for me is protein, and greens with some healthy fats, if some people find a veggie only diet works best for them, then I say go for it. But don’t just hop on board because its the new "in" thing. Listen to your body and work with how your body responds to the way you are eating.
We’re all unique individuals. I know once upon a time in another life I probably chased a dinosaur down and killed it for my meal, and maybe once upon a time your ancestor only liked the taste of veggies. Like I said we’re all unique. What works for me will not work for you and vice versa.
I’ve been bad with blogging, its summer and I like to be outside with the kiddo when I can and not tied to my computer, he is at vacation Bible school right now. Last week I only did cardio because the bursitis in my shoulder was majorly bad, this week back to weights after having the flu this past weekend.
Tuesday was legs/abs and some HITT
Today was back/bis and some HITT and a little steady state cardio. I’m trying to be able to jog for 2miles with no breaks, I have a mental block that swears "you must rest and walk " when I get to a mile, I"ve gotten up to 1.5 miles jogging.
I’m not a runner though I’d like to think if my life depended on it I’d run like a cheetah. I watched a movie called Prey and a woman was running from a lion, she got in her car and one second later the lion hit the door, hopefully I’d be able to do that, LOL. Of course I’d like to think I would never be stuck out on a guided tour in Africa and have to watch my dumbass guide get eaten by man eating lions and realize the damn keys were with him.

LMAO. If I get creeped out getting to my car at night, I get in really fast and lock the door right away to prevent the boogie man from getting me.
Don’t forget…the zombies are chasing you when you run.

me too and I stand a little away from the door in case a boogie man is under the car waiting to slash my ankles.

I’m with you on the meat eating. It is a good thing.
I am not on board with the boogie man. That one I don’t get.
Nice mental picture on the slashed ankles. Lord thats gotta hurt.

Urban legend on the ankle thing, in fact they even had it in the movie Urban legend, lol.

For some reason I think Shannon would beat down most would-be assailants.
Hey, I still drink slim fast for one of my morning "meals," but moreso because it is an exact calorie and protein count that I know - and it’s super fast and easy. That’s key for me. I got out of the habit of drinking it for lunch too after getting yelled at here on BB.com.
Now wait a second, I’m pretty sure *I* was a dinosaur that ran around eating people and such. Hmm. You better not have knocked me off…

you still drink slim fast, ewww, well if you can stomach why not I guess, I just couldn’t stand the taste of it at all.
I’ve had days where I’ve been thinking man I hope someone picks a fight with me so I can kick their ass too, hope your day goes better.

I have those days as well.
This morning has already been one of those days. Yesterday, the day before….Sunday was nice. No one pissed me off Sunday.
