Had a pretty restful weekend and ready to jump into my second week of Metabolic Renewal! I'm going to tighten up my meals a bit (I had cheat meals, guilty!) I'm also going to add in some "burnouts"... burnouts are five extra minutes of workout after your workout and designed to ramp up your fat burning.
I did lots of sleeping yesterday, my body needed a break! But still got in about 3 miles yesterday.
Saturday was my epic day of 10,000 steps! This pedometer shows how many walk sessions were 3,000 steps, 7,000 steps, etc. I've been pretty good!
Yay! 10,000 steps is kinda time consuming in a busy day but Saturday I just kept chipping. 4+miles made me feel like my old self.
Got my Metabolic Renewal program in the mail and it's a bit of a read so I'll chip at it in time. Mainly getting the main gist of what to eat, when, how long I need to do certain things and what to not do. You work with your cycle and ease up some weeks and ramp up on others. Carbs are eaten only at certain times depending on your hormone type and vegetables and proteins are the main players. Up SUPER early to do mileage, workout and hit the studio. I avoided all work this weekend and now it's time to catch up. Rest is part of the recovery so NO GUILT in actually chilling on the weekend like one should.
Have a great start to the week everyone!
I still haven't learned to rest on the weekend. I'm certainly less productive, but I can't completely goof off. Good job balancing it all and knowing when to rest.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I still fight with guilt about resting but it's actually the most productive thing you can do for your body. Recharge 🌞
