This week has been so crraaaazzzyyyyyy!Homework, getting pigs ready for the stockshow, and working has been pretty wild. It has also forced me to be very dedicated to my body and my health. I have managed to get in a few workouts, though they have been late at night. As I stay up late to get in my daily workouts I will preach to you and say that SLEEP IS VERY IMPORTANT! Hypocritical statement I know. My workouts have been fairly moderate, but very effective. I love doing like 30 minutes or so of intense interval training. This means that you go hard for a minute and then bring your heart rate down for 30 seconds. Interval training basically causes your metabolism to freak out which just happends to be a great thing.
Another important thing for me to do during the day is drink a lot of water. It keeps me feeling refreshed, and aslo gives me more needed energy. This weekend I am going to get back into my normal routine, and I also plan on starting insanity for the second time. Insanity is a great routine to use whenever you don't have a ton of fat to burn or weight to lose. It gives me that push I need to really get in great shape and tone parts of my body that running simply just won't do.
One thing that I will leave you with is that working out alone is not going to get you to the place you need to be. Diet accounts for about 70% of weightloss. It is the most important because if you are feeding yourself crap then your results will be.... well crappy. I try to stay away from things that are natural. I believe that god provided me with natural and organic things, not things like doughnuts, hot dogs, and other things that are not the greatest option. Foods like that drain your body, and don't give you the nutrition or the energy to get you through the day. Another thing that these non natural foods are slow down your metabolism. This is the WORST thing you can do when trying to lose weight or get fit. You need to keep that metabolism running at the highest speeds possible because the higher it is the more calories burned and the better you look and feel.
Example of My Daily Intake:
Breakfast: all natural oatmeal (protein mixed in), berries or any kind of fruit, and WATER
Snack 1: non salted almonds, and a cucumber
Lunch: Eggs, turkey, spinach leaves, and whole wheet toast
Snack 2: a banana and a protein shake
Supper: Any kind of lean meat (not sausage), a salad with light italian dressing, and a sweet potato
My daily guilty pleasure: all natural peanut butter.... YUMM. Not too much though because it tends to be high in calories.
Happy Eating & Let's Break a Sweat!
