So...Today I worked out legs and glutes. They are my two favorite muscle groups, but also the two groups that make me so tired. I finished off my workout with stairs and hills. (worked those glutes for real!) I feel really tired, but really strong.
On another note, I have stayed 160 (yes up one pound) for about a week now. Yes, I have been on my period and probably retaining water, but I don't want that to be an excuse. I am hoping that it is because I am putting on some muscle. I am not going to let the weight on the scale get me down (although it seems like it is easy to get sad about it). I have been doing the work, and more importantly, I have been working hard on my nutrition. I think next week I am going to get my fat percentage and BMI measured...otherwise I'll have no idea how I am improving (other than the fact that my clothes are starting to get bigger)
Nutrition is pretty hard for me. I have a notorious sweet tooth. My best friends have been straight up no sugar added I am watching you be made at Whole Foods Almond Butter and Ezekiel Cinnamon raisin bread. I only have 1 piece of the raisin bread maybe twice a week, but the almond butter is a nice mid afternoon snack with some carrots, celery and a few slices of red apples. My sweet tooth also seems to be satiated by the few ounces of berries I eat every day or so.
Looking at pinterest is hard for me sometimes. Double chocolate cake with caramel filling and whipped vanilla bean coffee frosting....say what?? I try to limit my pinterest to clothes I will look ravishing in when I get healthier.
Until then I gotta go drink more water,
allie
