I continued my routine of boot camp and tabata class on Monday night and then boot camp again on Wed. I believe the tabatas class is legit because my metabolism is definitely increasing. I thought it was in a pretty high gear before, but now I am hungry ALL THE TIME. Even though it feels like I am eating ALL THE TIME. This has been a rough transition, I was not prepared. Why are all the easy- to- find, easy- to -eat foods so BAD for you?!? This seems like a cruel joke. I have found myself eating more crap in the last couple weeks than ever before. I need to spend some serious time on making more healthy choices available to myself.
Last night I did a run on the treadmill:
6 miles
60 minutes
10:00 pace
I have found I have reached a new fitness level, too. Previously, this run would have sent me straight to the locker room and into the sauna, but instead I found myself on the floor doing crunches, push ups and planks. After I was completely exhausted (i.e. couldn't get off the floor without a great deal of loud moaning), workout session was over.
Someday, Lori, I hope to have 1/2 the metabolism and energy you have! My goodness. Your workouts blow me away. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAs for food, I couldn't agree with you more. I'm trying to eat lots and lots and lots of fruit. Mandarin oranges are my new favorite. String cheese?
