Weigh Day: Finding the Right Balance

This past week, I made adjustments in my program to accommodate my change in exercise duration/intensity. I lost a pound at weigh-in yesterday, so I feel I’m on the right track. I thought I’d enjoy letting up on my exercise routine a bit, but it just makes me feel lazy. I’ll coast through the holidays (per doctor’s orders), but everything will change when January TRI training starts. My (hottie) friend Charles is training for an Ironman Triathlon next year and he’s going to send me his menus. Hopefully I can get an idea of what type of carbs/protein ratio is needed and modify it to fit my program.

I moved my workouts to the morning and the increase in my overall daily energy is amazing. Getting up at 5:15am is a challenge, but I feel better once the blood gets flowing (and my eyes uncross).

Work is slowly piling up…until next time…

Girl I give you a TON of credit. No way I could motivate myself out of bed that early…I’m already slacking in the excercise department – I swear that childrearing should be considered a workout routine.

Tweak and tweak again. Looking for that sweet spot. Looks like its been a good tweak this time period, but we’ll see. 😉

5:15 AM?? *horrified look*

You are my hero. I could never drag myself out of bed to go to the gym, although I think I’d make it more regularly if I tried.

I have changed my eating and exercise plan and it is screwing with my head and body! Tuesday, home scale said 194, today, 196.6…all the while being OP! It’s a pisser, makes me want to stop going to the gym, but that would make me feel lazy, too…very frustrating. A pound is a great loss!

Girl, you never cease to inspire me. You rock. RYN: I think hitting the milestone has something to do with it. My mind is still processing all that’s happened on the journey so far and for some reason my body wants carbs instead of what I’m supposed to eat. I know this will pass but it’s getting to me.
