Okay, I will be the first to admit I go to Dr. Google for almost everything. I mean, he is just so smart and attractive why wouldn’t I?
Well. the issue is that Dr. Google says that if you have any sickness issues “below the neck” that you should not work out. TurboFire is VERY intensive as far as working out goes. On Thursday I tried to workout for about 5 minutes and ended up coughing super hard for about 10 minutes afterwards. this was supposed to be a 30 minute workout day so, no working out for me.
Yesterday I tried to go on a walk with my 1 year old. This went great! However, it is still February and it’s kinda cold outside for my 1 year old. So it’s on to another day of figuring out what I can do that will not be too much for my cough and chest congestion.
The good thing is I am forcing myself to stick to my diet. I am VERY monotonous when it comes to what I eat. In fact I eat the same thing EVERY day of the week. This way buying groceries is easier and I don’t have to worry about wasting food. I try to buy most of my vegetables frozen or I only buy enough for the week and I eat it before it goes bad. I eat a well balanced diet following the 21 Day Fix diet plan, the calories follow very closely with what Chalene Johnson wants you to be eating on TurboFire so it works very well. Also, I love learning the portion system. I am a habitual over eater, in fact on my cheat days I am horrible about over eating or eating crap and end up with a stomach that feels like I ate bricks. You know that feeling when you eat a ton of Velveeta queso? Yea, that’s the one. Well, apparently when you eat very clean, which is what I would consider the 21 Day Fix diet, and then you eat like crap it hurts. My poor system goes into shock after a day I have overloaded on terrible food.
The better thing is I know all of this about myself now and I am working towards getting better with my diet habits. I have actually gotten to where I like working out and these last few days of not being able to workout suck! I have learned how to eat healthy on a budget and feed a 1 year old mostly healthy (she’s picky).
More to come later on my Operation to Find My Abs.
Have you ever noticed how many resolutions people make for the new year? I know I do every year! I can’t even think of a year where lose weight was not on my list of things to do for the year. Last year I actually had some success in losing weight, well I guess technically that started in 2014 when I got pregnant.
