I know what you're saying. "What do you mean deviating from your diet? Are you abandoning your clean eating regime? Did you overload on halloween candy?" No ... I'm not eating ham and pineapple pizza and Crave cupcakes and drinking red wine as part of my "new" diet ... although wouldn't that be nice? Mmmm ... oops! Ok ... where was I? Oh yeah. :) I'm trying something new. It's kind of based on the Warrior diet ... basically you eat clean throughout the day but very light meals ... more like balanced snacks ... workout ... then eat your big meal as your last meal. I know ... it goes against everything we as fitness buffs have followed over the years. But the little bits I've read about it and have been told about it (my girlfriend Afae and her hubby are trying it with great results) ... it seems to make a lot of sense. I ordered the book and will read more details. But I thought I'd try it because I was having these energy crashes at about noon ... a couple hours after I ate my biggest meal. So how did I feel at noon today? Well, I had no energy crash. I didn't feel like I was starving myself. And my workout was great! Lots of energy! So far so good!
I'd also like to thank my good friend Maria Ellis (www.fitmumz.com) for reminding me to have fun with my workouts! We both got a little too carried away with the number on the scale and put too much pressure on ourselves. After all, we're not training for a competition ... YET!
Workout: Shoulder and back plus cardio circuit ... thanks to Simon the skipping rope, Tommy the treadmill, Benson the bike, and Steve the stepper ... and of course Winston the weight room ... gotta keep those muscles guessing what's next!
