Man, not having internet readily available puts quite a damper on updating. Although, my ridiculous schedule has something to do with that too... but that's for another time.
Just finished a soccer game. Loved it... for a couple reasons really... 1) I get my workout in 2) it's competitive 3) it's not just running for the sake of running 4) it's FUN! (the fun factor can go up or down depending on how many times I've gotten hit in the head that game...) I encourage you to get involved in team sports. Even as an adult, they're still valuable. Camaraderie and competition is something that helps you to vent and have fun. (not necessarily in that order :)
Don't have too much time tonight so I'm going to get right to H&L's.
High: I was looking in the mirror the other day, and I was happy... I thought to myself, if I was someone else, and I hadn't seen me since last year, I would not recognize myself. I feel like I've taken control of my life... that in itself is an AWESOME feeling! I've also been eating really well... something else I'm proud of.
Low: Though I have taken control of my life, I've been running myself ragged. I have been neglecting sleep and that is something that is also necessary to a healthy mind and body.
Note: Certification materials to be purchased in the next month. Here's to getting certified!
141.5 ... -4lbs... 2weeks not too shabby (let me tell you, it's getting hard!)
hmm... let's try this again. can't believe you're still losing weight. two questions for you (i'm sure you're getting tons of fitness/weight loss/health questions, which I guess you should get used to it you're going to be a trainer!). how did you avoid the weight loss plateau? and what are some good healthy snacks you enjoy? ~Aimee~
ReplyDeleteI love questions! :) Well part of avoiding the plateau has been a varied food plan from my trainer. I also keep my intensity of my workouts up. Although I have definitely seemed to have started to slow the weight loss down even more. I'm actually up now that I look at the number... not sure why, but basically... a plateau is helped by varying food, workout, or both. Food doesn't have to be an overhaul, could be a few less carbs... workout could be helped by varying intensity... adding minute sprints to running or something of that nature.... Good healthy snacks... most of the time I'm snacking on fresh fruit or veggies, plain almonds or cashews, rice cakes (a little less on the enjoy part), and Power Crunch protein bars... Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteOh and hummus is a good protein source as well... pair that with some carrots or other veggie and you have a great snack!
