Doing Paleo with a little Remix

25 Apr

So I’ve been Paleo for just about a month and to be quite honest I’m not too happy with the results, thus far. I love the eating clean part but, I’m feeling a bit lethargic cause I don’t believe I’m getting enough food overall to burn and I’ve just been on a steady plateau now. Last year, I wasn’t mindful of what I was eating but not nearly as strict about cutting out certain foods all together and I was DROPPING pounds. After cutting out so many things, and keeping it strictly meat, veggies and fruit It’s not showing results.

I’m definitely going to keep lean meats, veggies and fruits as the staple to my eating habits but I’m going to incorporate a slow burning carb like oatmeal or cottage cheese before my work outs or something along those lines. I need to produce enough Glucosmine to burn fat and I’m just not doing it. I’m working out heavy and hard and been doubling up on days as well.

For my A.M. hour workout I go to the gym and generally do 15-30minutes of cardio and the rest in circuit weight training to equal an hour. Then if I go back for a P.M. workout, I’m either doing 30-40 minutes of elliptical now and then the rest on another piece of cardio equipment to equal an hour or I take a class (Zumba, Power Pump, Cycling, etc). We will see how the lil changes hopefully help in the coming weeks.

 

Up at the Crack of Dawn

17 Aug

Guess who was up at 430 this morning? This girl! I tried to go back to bed for a lil but continued to toss and turn and decided to get my ass out of bed and start my a.m. workout early at 24 Hour Fitness.

Gym Start time: 520am

Gym End Time: 630am

I pretty much follow a similar regiment everyday and try to switch up  the weights so my body isn’t accustomed to the EXACT thing every day.

Things to bring to the gym: Bottle of water, hand towel, and iPod

Todays workout:

15-20min of intense cardio on the elliptical to start w/ high resistance.

4 x 20 on Circuit training | there’s about 12 pieces in the circuit and then I use the ab crunch machine and triceps-dip machine

Ended with 10 min cool down on the Elliptical| again kept the resistance high and for the last 3 minutes drop the resistance a lil and pumped it out. I went through a  second bottle of water at the gym, and sweated my tush off!

Now that I’m home I’m going to have about 8oz of Chobani Plain greek yogurt w/ a bottle of water, 1 womans multi vitamin, a folic acid pill and get started on my work and try and get back to the gym for an afternoon workout.
