Fever is gone. Today I was back at work, not feeling amazing but much better than the last 2 days. Left an hour early rested and head to the gym...I pushed myself to do a great 30 min cardio session. I did not regret that. Would have gone more but didn't want to overdue it...I want to be able to do a killer training tomorrow.
As I was on the elliptical I started thinking about the upcoming weeks....the upcoming holiday weeks...dinner parties, work holiday cocktail, family functions....oh boy...this is going to be challenging...however I don't find myself craving anything right now. I really believe it's due to the way I'm eating, overall....I'm totally following the Eat-Clean diet...not really a diet...more like a way of life...and because there are carbs incorporated throughout the day, the cravings for carbs are not there cause, in a way, my body is getting what it needs and it's fulfilled...this book is "GOLD' (Eat-Clean Diet Recharged by Tosca Reno)...so basic are the ideas...they seem so easy yet most of us don't apply them...and the great thing is it's not boring...plenty of great ideas for fun and super tasty dishes...I think sticking to the Eat-Clean principles won't be too challenging throughout this upcoming holiday season...I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens on that front....Visualization is a big key here...where do I want to be...what do I want to look like...how do I want to feel...and in my mind, that is SUPER clear. I've been there...I will be there again!
I created a board a few weeks back...this board is my "Goal and Progress board". I'll take a picture of it tomorrow and post it so everyone could see...what it is...well, I noted in HUGE font size the GOAL: 30 lbs, in the right hand corner, the challenges...in my case it's CARBS...below that my weight and measurements along with the date...there are weekly dates side by side till about mid-Feb...And below that...pictures..lots and lots of images that are motivating...physiques similar to mine used to be (realistic physiques that fit my physical and genetic profile) and I included some of my pics from 2007 when I was in my peak competing in fitness competitions....I love this board...I highly recommend you do one for yourselves if you have goals to achieve, regardless what those goals may be...it will help keep you focused and motivated.
So tomorrow...back to weight training. Upper body! Friday, I plan to have another cardio session...1 hour hopefully...then on Saturday I'll be training with my partner in crime, Agnieszka, for a mega total body workout. I'll work on the program tomorrow. For readers that don't know, I work an office job in the day and 2 nights a week I'm a personal trainer on my own account....love it.
Until tomorrow...
