Day 3- Time to Rest

Enjoying the energy I'm having only three days into eating different. I could have eaten more fat today and less carbs. I'm just so low on groceries right now it's hard to balance things out as well as I'd like. Although my daily treat of cheese (!) would boost my fat and protein, I don't factor it in. Some women need chocolate, I need cheese.

I'm just concentrating on cardio right now and maybe Saturday I'll add in a DVD that incorporates strength. I'm just feeling a little weak from where I was last year and would like to build up slowly. I'm also going on a vacation the week after next and don't want to get in a DVD routine that I'll miss for a week while I'm away. I'm hoping the boyfriend and I will do lots of hiking.

Today was a rest day. No workout.

Day 2- Energy Day

I had a nice day today. I had energy from exercising yesterday. I had a lot of protein at lunch so I wasn't really hungry for my normal 3 p.m snack. So, I had plenty energy for my bike ride when I came home. I've missed having energy this past year.
