I sure did work up a sweat with Stacey & Tami yesterday, it felt good when it wasn't stinging my eyes. My legs feel a bit fatigued (like when I'm climbing the stairs) but I'm not really sore today, unlike last week. I think I'm still using my quads more than my glutes though - something to focus on next time. Sit that butt back! I probably shouldn't say this for fear of pain, but I think I'd like to push my abs even harder next time. I'm excited about how much stronger I could be by the time I get back into hockey in fall!
Today was my first day that really felt tough on the nutrition front. The excitement is probably wearing off a little bit and last night and throughout the day I felt a cold setting into my sinuses. I feel blah and want to curl up in bed with a pot of tea and a good book. Funny how that doesn't happen when you have 3 kids. I don't think it's a coincidence that today I was really tempted to eat all of my favourite fatty & salty foods. My comfort foods. It worked pretty well to just stay out of the kitchen or try to think of a healthier version of what I was craving. Dry popcorn instead of buttered & salted, cottage cheese instead of cheddar...
Through the food analysis I've realized that my B vitamins tend to be low with almost no B12 at all. Iron and calcium are hit and miss. I don't think I would have come across that information if I hadn't been tracking this closely. Some things to keep my eye on.

Interesting!
ReplyDeleteYou know that Vitamin B is huge for energy right?
If you can keep that up you will really notice it in your energy levels. I think you are someone that has high energy compared to most thou so you might not even notice it when you compare yourself to others?
Keep it up, you are doing fantastic!!!
