I heard this quote today "Sacrifice or regret: what will you choose?" I think at this point, the desire for soda and sugar are getting to me and I so want to make an excuse to give into what I am used to having. I find myself thinking when I am traveling Thursday how it easy it will be to have that soda or milkshake....what will I choose? If I give into these desires I know I will ultimately be choosing regret! I will regret the choice the next day and probably for many days as I try to reign back in that sugar monster!
I am choosing sacrifice....it comes back to that whatever it takes motto! I will sacrifice what I want right now, for the goals I have regarding my health and fitness level!
Workout today....cardio was a recovery run of four easy miles. As I was running up the dreaded hill behind my house, I was thinking 6 months ago this was a long run...now it is an easy run and two years ago I couldn't run a mile and would give up and walk a hill. I have come a long way with cardio! Now it is time to look at where I am going and what I want.
Weight workout today was lower body. Squats, lunges, standing calve raises, leg press, seated calve press, and leg curls....weights are all going up just a little at a time on my legs...
Abs.... hanging abs, incline crunches, cross over incline crunches, cable crunches....
I am really starting to enjoy weights and look forward to my workouts. I am feeling more confident in the gym and just really like seeing the results as I get stronger...
Nutrition wise:
Breakfast was cheerios, a banana and almond milk (my standby for a crazy morning!)
Snack...dark chocolate almond milk and a banana
Lunch....chicken breast sandwich on whole wheat bun with swiss, spinach artichoke humus and tomato, veggie straws....yummy
snack....apple and all antural peanutbutter.
Dinner....oatmeal pancakes with blueberries....Yummy!
Several people have asked for this recipe so I will share....
1 cup of ground up steel cut oats
1 egg
3/4 c skim milk
mix and fix like regular pancakes, top with fruit of your choice...sometimes I add peanutbutter to this for the protien or top it with peanutbutter and banana...
1 gallon plus of lemon water...
Sacrifice or regret: What will you choose??
