Food: I've started keeping track of my macros just to see what my daily consumption is like & I found that I have some room for improvement! I'm not going over on calories, I'm doing a good job of sticking to natural fresh foods, but I'm not getting enough protein. Shucky darn. Time to increase the amount of meat on my plate! That is so not a bad thing. I already went to the store and bought more chicken, eggs, and turkey bacon than I had been buying.
*happy face*
Exercise: I tried an Urban Workout! We meet up in downtown Dallas and use the train station as our workout space. The workout includes lots of stair running & various body weight exercises such as burpees, jump squats, lunges etc. Talk about super-intense! My legs burned & I was walking around so awkwardly for DAYS afterwards. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone to go work out with people I didn't know in a new environment but it was so worth it! I got such a good strength-building cardio workout & even went back for more the following Saturday. My friend Sarah joined me for each session and my sister joined us for the second round. I had so much fun going all beast-mode with them! They are both super athletic & I had to push myself to keep up! I've been strength training back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, etc. but haven't worked my legs much so this was definitely a new challenge for me. I love it! Try something new! Don't let things get boring! Challenge your body!
