I will be focusing on my diet this week. It is true that 80% of how we look is based on what we eat! As for my workouts I will be doing Yoga and Pilates using the balance ball. I went for a long slow walk on Saturday which was good, but towards the end my leg was really bothering me and I had to go home to ice and care for it. I would like to get in at least 30 mins of walking in each day, until it has healed and I am strong enough to run again.
This injury comes at a hard time for me as my husband and I are leaving for our vacation in just over a week, so I need to be really smart about what I am doing so I can be strong and healthy for the trip.
My goals and plan have obviously changed from previous weeks but I think it is always good to reach for something – always have a goal in mind that you want to meet regardless of your limitations.
Nutritional goals for the week –
1. Continue to eat clean, non processed foods. My ratio for this week will be different as I do not need the high carbs for my runs. Fat – 20%, Carbs – 30%, Protein – 50%
2. Drink 4 cups of Green, White or Red tea a day.
3. Every morning wake my body up with 16 oz of water before eating.
4. Maintain a daily caloric deficit of 400 – 600
Physical goals for the week –
1. Rodney Yee Yoga DVD and Cathe Core Max – 3 times
2 . P90X CST and BB with Ab ripper X – 3 times using light weights.
3. Walk at least 30 mins daily to start, then build up when leg is stronger to 60 mins – (slow running if possible)
