Cookies and Frosting

Yesterday I did my Turbulence Training workout. Pretty good workout. I had to cut out a couple supersets due to a rushed schedule, but otherwise, it went well.

I then went to the gym and did a short cardio interval on the recumbent bike. Although, I get a little bored with the bike, it's good for something different every once in awhile, plus I can read while I do it! : )

Since I become a little bored doing the same workouts over and over, a friend suggested that I mix things up by throwing other workouts in on occasion. So that is why I did my own 10 minute Fitness Fury workout on Monday. Tossing in my own workout on occasion keeps things fresh for me.

By the way, check out my friend's blog and follow her journey as she completes a 100 day challenge on the Fat Burning Furnace program.

Regarding my nutrition, I admit it hasn't been the best! : ( My girlfriend knows I like cookies and frosting (2 cookies with frosting in the middle...best sandwich ever!) so she bought some cookie mix and frosting for free day this past weekend (isn't she the sweetest?!). However, I have been munching on them a little here and there throughout this week too. Not good! But I've done it less and less the last couple of days, so it's getting better.

Some people think because I'm a trainer when it comes to fitness and nutrition, I'm almost perfect in my own life. Ha! Not even close! I have a bad sweet tooth and love cake, cookies, ice cream...all that stuff. And sometimes I give in to my cravings when I know I shouldn't. I also will skip workouts sometimes when my energy is low or I didn't schedule my day well and I'm really rushed. But that's OK. It's not all the time, and it's just a matter of putting the slip up behind me and doing the best I can after that.

I can guarantee you, fitness and weight loss aren't about being perfect! It's not going to happen. You will miss workouts, eat the wrong thing or splurge on a few margaritas. The key is knowing when you slip up, acknowledging it, and moving forward. Piece of cake, right?! (no pun intended : )
