What Are You Doing??? - General Update

I'm only a few weeks away from my first 1/2, so it's definitely time to really buckle down. My graduate studies resumed a few weeks ago, so if you can imagine - working full-time has put a nice little strain on my schedule. But, I got this yo! ... lol ... Here's a little update on the regimen ...

My focus has really been my diet; continued varied cals per day, an influx in my protein (ironically, not eating much meat though), fresh fruits & veggies as my dependency on processed foods is weakening (thank goodness). It's funny, I used to look at nutritional labels and beam right to the 'Calories' or 'Fat', sometimes 'Sugar' ... now, I go straight for the ingredients ... lol ... that gives me a much better picture!

Today's grabs for the week: All Natural Oat & Honey Flakes, Mixed Greens, Carrots, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Honey Dew Melon, POM Mango & Pomegranate, Pineapples, Strawberries, Kiwi, Red Pears, Black Berries, Squash, Ranch Dressing ... and I founds some natural frozen entrees Kashi brand that I'm going to test out at lunch tomorrow ...

As far as training ... mornings have consisted of jogs and/or yoga at home. I walk daily during the work week with the new and oh so fab "Stroll Patrol" <-- our dept's walking club. And my evenings (M,W,F) are to the mercy of my ace trainer - Terk. I'm glad to report that I'm no longer afraid of weights! Resistance has been so effective in my muscle dexterity, I can't even begin to explain. Now I still love my cardio, ellip and tread ... outside of logging miles, they've taken a side seat to my resistance training.

But umm, that's it for now ... I hope you are all still in this fighting the good fight ... cheers to a fantastically powerful week ahead ... ;) ~PC

  1. Your routine is simple but makes so much sense. I still struggle with working out. Thoughts of doing it doesn't even get me excited. I have to do better though, any advice?
