Hey friends!
i just wanted to take a quick second and fill you all in on the lates fitness over here:) as i posted here i am trying new things to change my body and get rid of those negative thoughts i have about my body. so far it is week two of jamie easons livefit trainer and i’ve enjoyed it so far.
the only downside in phase 1 is there isn’t a whole lot of cardio and i have decided to add my own cardio in until i reach phase 2. cardio is such a battle for me and i decided to try running a try. i can’t run long distances to save my life (remember my fear of getting snatched? thats why..) so i got on the Internet and decided to try intervals!
i gave this interval run a try yesterday and it was killer! i was sweaty…thank you fitsugar.com!
eating clean has been going pretty well as well! i still have a ton to figure out tho. i’m a good snacker so that’s a task to control these days:) sometimes i feel with the way that i eat and exercise, i should be tiny, but im not. so i’m still learning what my body responds to and what it doesn’t. i don’t eat meat with the exception of a little bit of fish, lots of veggies, fruits, mostly gluten free, and i enjoy vegan and raw foods as well. funny how life changes and i’m still learning so many things. i get frustrated easy these days with the lack of results, and dealing with being on stage nightly, but its a work in progress. i want balance in my life, and i dont want to be crazy, or exhausting to be around when it comes to food. so how do you find balance while following a healthy lifestyle? i’ll let you know when i’ve mastered it:)
some eats lately:)
meatless meatballs (from trader joes) veggie salad
tilapia salad
roasted veggie salad
of course there are a lot of green smoothies, GF toast, egg scrambles, homemade pizza, and fresh juice! but i do love popcorn and a good occasional treat. sometimes too many treats;) but it’s life so i’m going to enjoy it! i always post great eats but believe me i do have my moments when i slip and then make my way back. but its a work in progress!
do you feel your routine has plateaued?
how do you switch it up?
what way do you find balance with an occasional treat?
xoxo

March 23, 2012 at 9:43 pmI had to start getting creative with my cardio. Luckily, there are lots of pins for great cardio/HIIT/Tabata workouts. And I now follow different plans on BodyBuilding.com to workout my body. I just make sure I keep moving in some fashion.
Taken up crossfit, a new class at the gym, go out for a hike {I’m itching to do the latter now the weather is warming up again}.
As for weight. Its plateaued for a long time. And drives me bonkers! I was actually gaining weight for a while lifting {muscle}, but its plateaued too. Thankfully.
