YOGI!!!!
Well this morning, I was doubtful about the gym and didn't hear back from the gal at the gym until I was already sleeping, so I planned to do yoga after dropping the kids off....and I did. A full 1/2 hour of yoga and my body feels amazing. All stretched out and lean feeling. This morning's smoothie was a little gross looking....really reminded me of swamp sludge, but it was super yummy. Even the kids enjoyed a couple sips of it.
Today's Smoothie
Approx 4-5 strawberries (with the greens)
Handful of blueberries
1 stem of Kale (stem removed)
Maybe 1/8-1/4 of natural, no sugar added applesauce
Splash of coconut milk
Tbsp of flax
1 leftover fiber packet from my cleanse.
Yup that's a lot of colors mixed together....it almost looked chocolate LOL. Anyway, it was yummy and fueled my workout perfectly. I'm finding more and more that I like have two "breakfasts". I know that sounds strange, but working out without fuel is nearly impossible and SO bad for you, but then you need protein for your muscles to recover immediately following any workout. So, I've been doing a smoothie in the morning (mostly carbs - fruits and veggies) at about 6am which give you energy and then when I'm finished with my workout (approx 7:30/7:45) I enjoy a good dose of protein.....yesterday was eggs and watermelon (yup another carb) and today was a container of greek yogurt that was half frozen and amazingly delicious.
Tomorrow, another round of C25K after I drop the kids off. I plan to do it outside unless it's raining too much, in which case I will go to the gym. Hoping to score a personal training session at some point so I can have an outlined "plan" for when I come to the gym of what I need to do (besides C25K) to get ready for Go Commando. I could TOTALLY do it in the shape I'm in now and survive, but I don't want to just survive....I want to rock the hell out of it!!!!
