Good morning, Maintainers! Happy new week to all.
Busy day for me – cardio, quickie shower, and then clients for the rest of the day. Hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze a leg workout in there somewhere.
I pledge to be a faithful poster on Anne’s accountability thread this week. Once again (for the gazillionth time ) I remember how much I hate feeling bloated and tubby (isn’t it funny how just a few pounds can do that now??) and love the feeling of being back in control. But why is it that there’s always a on one shoulder whispering in my ear and an on the other … ?
Anyway, I'm traveling to FL and CA with DH in ten days and want to be down a few pounds before then. So I've pulled out an eating plan that's worked well for me in the past, with two days of lower carbs and a (healthy) carb-up on the third day of 1/2 cup of sweet potatoes and 1/2 cup of brown rice. Today's the day and I'm about as excited as a kid at a birthday party! I my brown rice and sweet potatoes!
I'm reading Body For Life For Women. Just started it (fell asleep with it last night), so I don't have any firm opinion about it yet but I like that way it's geared towards the different hormonal stages of a woman's life. We're not smaller versions of men when it comes to exercise and especially DIET, so it's good to see a book that acknowledges that fact. If any of you have read it, let us know what you think.
to all and let's all have a terrific week!
