Well I had intended to share my food and exercise journal as much as I could to answer your questions; how do I stay fit, what do I eat and what do I do to workout. Well truth be told, I just don't always write it down. I track my workouts every day but not what I eat. Why? Well I don't want to be obsessive. I am a Type A personality and I have OCD so I can get very obsessive over things. This is part of what lead to my issues with food as a teenager. Actually I think it started around 11. I remember always writing down what I ate and not allowing myself more that 5 things a day. Granted a salad counted as one and it did not matter what size, but that was my mentality. I even tracked what I drank. I did that for years. So I guess part of me needs to keep a "fuck-it" mentality. If I don't track it so be it. This is also why I personally do not use programs such as Fit Day or My Fitness Pal. I don't have any clue how many calories, carbs, or fat grams I consume in a day and I have no desire to know. I focus on balance and leave it at that. I listen to my body. I also find that I tend to not write things down when I have not been making the best choices. And well we just came through Easter....
I did track my workouts so here is what they looked like:
Thursday 4/17- Taught Barre class. I tend to demo more than I actually do so I consider this a lighter day.
Friday 4/18- Yoga class & CrossFit Yep that was a good day! This is what an ideal day would look like for me. Perfect balance!
Saturday 4/19-Monday 4/21- Nothing. I was sore from CrossFit over the weekend, it was Easter and well I was just plain busy.
Tuesday 4/22- Taught cycle 60, Taught Pilates
Wednesday 4/23- Nothing
Thursday 4/24- Taught Barre, Ab lab and cycle
Friday 4/25- Quick Full body workout at the gym with weights 36. This was a killer I did not have much time so I went hard.
Saturday 4/26-Sunday 4/27- Nothing. In case you have not noticed I do not workout most weekends unless we go to church on Saturday night and I can make it to CrossFit on Sunday. (which has happened once) I like to spend my time with my family and my early mornings are saved for work.
Monday 4/28- Legs 15 minutes at gym
Tuesday 4/49- Teach cycle, Teach Pilates
Wednesday 4/30- nothing.
So as you can see I am pretty balanced. I don't workout every day and other than the classes I teach I am not very consistent. I have a family and I work from home so unless I can work it out in my day I don't really make it. I also stretch 3 days a week for about 15 minutes but I do not track that. I will just do it when I am sitting on the floor with the kids or when my back is particularly bothering me which lately has been every day.
I would love to know what your training schedule looks like or if there is any questions I can answer comment below.
