Well, those words best describe what is going on in Louisiana right now. It is cold! Friday the wind chill will be between 8-13 and it should get as high as 34. But, I don't plan to stay in...I am going to finish my workout week strong...This has been a cold week. I have logged all food intake and down abut 3 gallon of water thus far. I have stayed within my Carb, fat and protein levels! I did not go above 1500 calories this week. This is my last week before I return to work on the 11th, so the test begins. How will I handle work and healthy eating.
Thiis week I got up on Monday, I had to miss Tuesday as my car was leaking some sort of fluid, but I did use hubby's truck on Wednesday and got Debbie Greene to go workout today, Thursday. Daniel was the trainer today and as adorable as he is, he sometimes confuses me. First, let me say when I walked out of the house at 4:45 this morning, it was not cold. I got to the gym at about 4:50 and said, geez, it's not cold. I saw a light on near the back of the gym and mumbled, I bet Daniel is going to have us run. When he started explaining what he was going to have us do, I swear I was in a Calculus class. I did not understand what was going on. What I like about Daniel is he always puts us in teams and usually teams us up with ladies who will push you. I was with Debbie and we pushed each other. The interval training he had us do was tough, but very enjoyable an hour later. My workout was slowed a few times due to my knee. I don't have knee problems, but it usually pops a few times during a workout, but as I sit here, it feels fine. The wall squats were trying but as long as it gets my boooty right, I will squat!
Thanks to Tori and Veronica for pushing me in the end. I really think this is the best workout for me, these ladies rock! Oh yeah, I went to work today and they had King Cake. I resisted. We start the Biggest Loser contest at work on the 11th and it goes until May...that is a long time. Although I will participate in the contest, I am more focus on me winning my own personal competition. People don't realize that I set little goals for myself and I try to accomplish them. I set workout goals...which leads me to discuss the title!
About the title, it will be very cold on Friday, but I want to go workout! Can you believe if I went on Friday, it would be the first time I worked out four days in a week? Hard to believe, but it is sometimes that I must do to achieve my goal. Next week, I will try for five days, primarily because I need the piece of mind that the early workout will provide doing the back to work week. Once school begins on the 19th, I will go to three times a week workouts and then hit the treadmill or the rowing machine. The month of January will rock for me because it will set the stage for a crazy February.
Before I close, I just want to say that I am really learning how to eat...I am really focusing on my intake of carbs, fat and protein. I am up to 9 glasses of water a day. I will say this again, SparkPeople.com is a great resource tool. There are recipes submitted by users with nutritional reports. This weekend, Durkey is making Chilli, while I will be making a Taco Soup with Ground turkey. I have a bag of pecans that I don't know what to do with but I found a recipe for Cinnamon Roasted Pecans, which I will make over the weekend. My mom taught me how to make Spice Tea and I never knew the nutritional value and I found it on SparkPeople. I am liking this website which is also available as an I Phone App. Check it out...until we meet again,
I am snuggled in bed getting ready to put my eye mask on...Nightie, night!
