I'm frustrated today though. Eric and I did our biking yesterday, and then running like we are supposed to. BUT uh oh... my leg is in pain again! WHAT THE !?!?!?!!?!!!?!?!?! I'm so mad at the moment about this.
I did go a mile without it really flaring up in pain. So maybe I just need to take it REALLY REALLY SLOW. So I'm thinking I'll take a three week break from running. Make sure to wear my chaco sandals for the next three weeks (since they have arches in them) and then try running ONLY a mile, and then we can take it up to like 1.25 miles, then 1.5, and so on. I don't have a TON of time to figure out how to get to 6.2 miles before the tri. If this plan helps, then I need to buy new flip flops - all with arches - so I can save my legs while walking around on a normal day. So maybe some pairs of chaco flip flops.
Anyway, everything else is going well. Something I found out about myself though is that I eat SO much better when I exercise in the morning. If I don't exercise in the morning, it's like my brain shuts off and forgets that healthy foods are freaking delicious. It's automatic to eat well when I've exercised, but takes more thought when I don't. Weird? Kinda. lol
Also, I find that if I try ANY junk - even a small amount, I feel like crap. So, obviously, my body doesn't want it, so why feed myself that?
That all being said - the p90x lifestyle is wonderful. I love eating well and adding muscle workouts to my exercise plan.
Angela - I know I haven't been listing my foods like I said I wanted to- but I have been doing superb! :) Just too much work to think about putting it here. haha
What?!? Nooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteSo I made a decision about our lives. Since exercising and weight loss is just not coming easy, we're going to quit and become fat people. Whadaya say? ;)
