Well ladies, it's been too long! I haven't posted much, not because I haven't been doing anything.... but because of the opposite.
A few updates:
Last Week
- The 4 day weekend at the cottage threw me off. Although I was very active while I was there (exercised everyday! even on the one day I didn't run, I helped pick up and stack wood logs - holy squats and lifts!) it threw me off my weekly schedule, resulting in a less than stellar week.
- Nutrition was way off. Indulged quite a bit at the cottage and then it was tough to go back to healthy eating when I got home.
This Week
- As a results of my indulging, I got fed up with feeling icky from bad food and made a serious meal plan for this week. I've been sticking to it too! (Remind me I need to post it here).
- I'm really into vegan eating and I'm trying to consume as little dairy and meat as possible. I got a great book on cooking vegan which I LOVE. Will post it later. I'm trying to transition into 95% vegan eating - not indefinitely, but for now. (I say 95% because I know there are little things I can never avoid e.g. going to a coffee shop and having to settle for dairy milk instead of soy or almond milk, or, having something cooking in chicken broth, or, honey)
- I last minute registered for the 'Midsummer Night's Run'. I'm doing the 15km race on Saturday night. Definitely not ready. Was gonna do a 12km last night but felt exhausted. Gonna do it tonight. Excited to amp up my running game.
- I felt like I needed a physical detox or bootcamp so this week I'm doing morning workouts and afternnoon workout. Honestly it feels great. I'm hoping to keep it up while Chris is away on vacation next week too.
I took before pictures and I'm going to take after pictures... I'm thinking I'm gonna call this a 2 week bootcamp + vegan eating camp? Not very catchy. Regardless I'll post results after the two weeks.
How are you guys doing? Summer is tough for staying in the swing of things. Let me know how it's going :)

PS: Vegan + Fish. I can never ever give up fishies. miam miam miam
I feel ya! I have done a bunch of travelling this summer and while I feel that the training is going ok while Im home diet and actually getting out there falls to pieces when Im away. Your right in that its easy to fall off schedule! Good Luck with your bootcamp! Your can do it!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a workout and eating short-term bootcamp. I've been lazing it and did my 11km run yesterday as a "you-gotta-get-back-into-the-swing-of-it-girl"!!!!!
