Ever have those mornings where everything goes wrong one after another?? Yep….that was me today. Even though I woke up late I still planned my day accordingly. My morning Yoga was the only workout I could fit in before school. So, the “adjustment” plan is to get home around 3:30 and do HIIT workouts until 4pm followed by some intense core and arm strength training. Then I’ll repeat yoga and maybe take the dog for a walk with the kids.
So, sometimes your schedule will get messed up and things will go all cray cray….don’t worry. Have a plan B! Do extra things throughout the day that will help with that missed workout blues. Force yourself to sit straight while tightening your core on the drive to work….better yet if you can, walk to work! Waiting for a copier?? Do calf lifts!! (I’ll post a link to some great at work excersices at the end of this blog.) Right now, I’m in the library at school….doing a V-sit while I type this. It’s the little things that will make all the difference in the end….<–that’s what I tell myself when I feel whiney. 😉 I have to remind myself it takes 21 days to form a habit…keep working, keep working….
Breakfast: Banana peanut butter smoothie (YUM)
Snack: Almonds
Lunch: turkey, lettuce, tomato, hummus on whole grain wheat bread (hummus is a great sandwhich spread and way healthier than mayo!!!)
2nd snack: cottage cheese with strawberries
It doesn’t seem like a lot when I write it all down, but I’m pretty much eating every two hours. Then for dinner I eat around six and drink lots of water until bed. So far it’s been a week with my healthy eating and I’m feeling more energized, fuller, and less “blah”. I’m also still learning a lot about the right foods to eat, and what does what for what. (<–Say that five times fast…..readyyyyy…..GO!!) Is there a nutritionist in the house? Even though I don’t have all the good for you stuff, I still make a gallant effort to eat healthy. Benefits are already noticeable and I am in LOVE!
Oh snap, it’s almost class time, I needed to get in one more blog!!! Gah!
