Part of my summer challenge was to try some new things...this seems to be the week for getting started with this challenge! Yesterday I tried Wasabi Peas...loved them!! Today I went shopping and got dehydrated veggie chips and they are amazing! Great snack for afternoons at the pool. We also got ground bison which we will grill later this week. Then I found soy nuts to try...so several new foods to test out.
Exercise wise, I finally got to try a Zumba class this morning...I loved it! I haven't done any group fitness in many years so I was a bit nervous about stepping out of my comfort zone of running and lifting, but this was part of the try new things challenge. It was fun and it was intense! Definitely a class I will add to my training program from here on out! I also want to try cardio dance later this week.
Trying to figure out how to balance in the things I currently enjoy with new interest. Right now the plan is:
Interval running on Monday
Cycling on Tuesday
Easy run on Wednesday
Hill repeats on Thursday
Long Run on Saturday
Cycling on Sunday (Short Ride)
Zumba for this month will be MWF
Cardo dance on Thursday if I like it
Weight training MTWTHF
I may throw some yoga in on Tuesday...not sure yet....I know it seems like a lot, but this summer is about challenging myself out of a comfort zone and seeing just what my body can become. I am notorious for getting slack in the summer and that is what I am advoiding this summer. I will not panic if I don't get to do something one day here and there..it will be okay.
Nutrition wise, I am going to eat clean, cutting out diet soda...yes, got real slack about that one this week...back to water and green tea...
I will track my food and fitness on here daily, along with lessons learned along the journey.
What are your plans this summer!
Oh yeah, swimming as much as possible is a part of this equation...for me that is just plain ole fun!
