Baby Steps here we go 🙂
I have tried to ease up on my workouts a little, so my body will be able to respond better once I start kicking it up a notch 🙂
I increased my water intake as well as my carbohydrate intake!
Giving my joints some extra lubrication ( every unit of carbohydrates holds 1.5 units of water)….
Needless to say I feel a bit fluffy at this point!
My plan for this coming week is to keep my water intake high, be consistent with my supplements, exactly measure and pre pack my meals, training heavy with low reps, and incorporating a core ( not ab) routine!
Plus I will be out of town Thursday thru Sunday….
I will have a exact plan on how I will be following my diet and workout routine!
My hotel will have a gym availible, which makes it easy!
I will take gallons of water with me so I won’t have to look for the next convinient store!
I am sure I will get some good hiking in .Â
On my weight lifting days I will keep my cardio to about 45 minutes fat burning zone, while on my cardio only days I will have 2 cardio routines.
One in the higher heart rate zone with sprint intervalls, but lesser time ( 35 minutes) and one in the lower heart rate zone but going for a longer time ( 55 minutes)
Depending on how long my hikes will be on the weekend, I might have to cut the second cardio training out!
My leg workouts will consist of tons of squatting and tons of full leg movements for now!
I will weigh once per week in the beginning, but I am a freak and later I will weigh every day 😉
It is one of my tools for myself to stick to my program!
I am putting up competition pictures on my fridge to make my mind realize that I will be there again.
There is always some kind of emergency food in my purse, and I get laughed at all the time!
Usually it is a protein shake or a eggwhite pancake, or even a chicken breast in a zip lock bag…….
Remember always be prepared !!!!
Never run out of food!
I am eating every 2-3 hours…..it’s a must!
