I had a really good training session this morning with Teri. Yes, I said morning...I'm not known as a morning person :-) I'm a bit of a night-owl, so getting up early on the weekends is a challenge, but once I got going, and on the bike, I felt great. I also re-commited with Teri about my goal to keep on track with my food choices while I'm working on the physical part of my journey. It's a package deal! The more I stick to low glycemic eating, the more fat I will lose and stronger I will get. Muscle increases metabolism!

My goal for the next time I have a session with Teri, is I will be keeping track of all my food and activities/workouts in a journal. I will take a water aerobics class, and I will find 2 healthy snacks and fuel my body between meals. (that has been my problem, I haven't been planning snacks, then I'm too hungry at meal time). Have a great week everyone. I welcome comments!

I haven't posted in a while! Although I've been doing my workouts at Harbor, I haven't felt like I have had a lot to say about them - partially because since the holiday I have struggled a bit with the food part of my journey. Remember in my last post, I mentioned that the exercise is just as important as staying on my my low glycemic way of eating. Well, I have found that I cannot have one without the other. For me to stay on track, my food needs to be in order while I'm exercising. It's totally a "mental" thing, as is anything we want to commit to. If the head isn't into it, its not going to happen. Well I'm writing tonight to re-commit to making healthier food choices along with my fitness.


My cardio equipment of choice lately has been the treadmill. I tend to go towards the recumbent bike more often, but I realize, especially working with my trainer, that I will get stronger and more stamina by doing the treadmill at higher inclines. Although I work at higher resistance levels on the recumbent, I've been feeling much more like a get a better workout on the treadmill. I am working towards doing a couple of 5K walks coming up this spring and I want to be ready!
