Today was absolutely amazing. I stayed under with my calories because I paced myself throughout the day. I tried a vegetarian sampler at house of greek which was mostly gross but low cal. I only want to eat things I like and that is not it. Also I switched from 2% to skim milk which means I will be eating a serving of 2 cups of scooters and 1 cup of milk for just 300 calories. Without those delicious scooters I feel deprived which translates into unnecessary eating. Booty blast was a killer tonight and near the end I felt like I had run out of gas. I'm trying to listen to my body and not just push through the pain because when I do that I end up becoming very sore and potentially unable to workout. If you guys have any tips or suggestions leave them as comments!

What I'm learning is that you should feel "comfortably sore" the day after a workout. As time goes on, you'll learn what that feels like, and your body will tell you how far is too far (so you're on the right track!)
ReplyDeleteThere are a few times when I push myself...
1. Yoga - Breathing through the pain of stretching helps, and I've noticed my gains in flexibility. I think yoga helps avoid injury.
2. In weightlifting, there are times when I think I've pushed hard, but after the workout I found I could have pushed harder.
Keep up the good work, dude...I'm rooting for ya!
Dude, that platter at the House of Greek was great :)
