Raining this morning so no walk with the hubby. I also had another rough night getting to sleep so I slept in a bit. I still worked out. I dusted off my Firm Express set. I bought this on clearance at Dick's Sporting Goods after Christmas after wanting it for awhile. I think I have done maybe 4 of the discs and that would be once a piece. So I decided to start this, and supplement with going to the gym 1-2x per week as well. I started with Ignite - Cardio+Sculpt. It was a spirited workout and I tried my best on the bursts, but I'm still on a lower level. Probably could push it a bit though. The weight segments use two muscle groups at once and go a little fast, but with practice I can see liking this 20-minute workout. Saturday I'll either hit the gym or do Ignite Sculpt.
Food notes:
Lunch: Tuna salad I made + gluten-free crackers with a small Lowe's Foods salad on the side
Supper: Tex-Mex beef stew prepared by the wonderful hubby in the crockpot. We put it over rice. Hot but very filling.
Snack: Hershey bar, I couldn't sleep, so yes I went for comfort food
Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled topped with avocado, 1 slice of bacon
How I feel:
Tired. I felt great after my workout but my midafternoon slumps seem to be back. I did have trouble falling asleep last night and became frustrated and upset. I was back in bed by midnight and up at 7:00. The aches from yesterday are gone so that is nice. Now if I could just get my energy back.
Personal notes:
Nothing really to add today. I'm watching twitter for all those starting Whole 30 and getting excited to start my own. I'm starting to go without some things like cheese to test out how I feel. I'm going to keep reading The Paleo Answer and then start back on It Starts With Food. I also need to read the book by my doctor before my visit in a few weeks and have some questions ready for him.
Weigh-In
Not an optimal weigh-in. I gained 4.9lbs from last Wednesday. Not sure what is going on, time of the month, too much to drink over the weekend, the hershey last night (lol), just too much to eat or an underlying problem. I know I am working out 3-6 times a week and watching what I eat. I have started back eating a better breakfast and I'm really watching the rest of the day as well (not calorie-restriction per say, but more eating healthy and not snacking, except for last night). We'll see what the scale says next week. I wouldn't be concerned too much but my jeans I put on this morning are tighter. Ugh! But I won't focus on this, my primary focus is still on how I feel and the reduction of my medication.
