Having 2 blogs is tough. I use one to write about random stuff, and this one to write about working out and my plans for world domination!! I sure don't write in this one as much as I have wanted, which is probably why my fitness plans are lacking. So, where do I stand right now?? Let me catch you up....
I've been fighting a tendon injury which has sidelined me some. It's hard to do any bicep work. Since it's my left arm, I've just stopped upper body all together. What I have been doing is focusing on my diet. Meal prep has been the key. Making meals for the week has helped with the cravings, and eating bad. What I do is cook enough food for 4 days. Giving myself 1 cheat day a week. I've also increased my water intake and cut out the Dr. Peppers. I'm hoping that by doing this, I will get enough caloric intake, while maintaining a healthy diet. Once I began working out again, I will start adding protein shakes in to my meals, to aide with muscle recovery.
Diets fail for one reason. No one can sustain the sudden diet change. One of the things I'm doing is focusing on a healthy breakfast until it becomes habit. Once that sets in, I will change over to work on snacks for about a month. Then I will work in changing lunch and dinner. Hopefully, that will gradually led me to an overall healthy diet.
The workouts will be two fold. The days I have the kids, I will do kettle bell swings, and work on core conditioning. When I don't have the kids, it will be a combo of weights and cardio. My goal is to have myself ready to the Tough Mudder season next year. I have a goal to complete 3 over the course of a year. I will be doing 1 in Texas, and 2 out of state.
That's all I have for now. I will post an update soon, after I get everything in high gear
