So, I'm pretty excited to say that I'm slowly getting back into a normal workout routine.
I'm on Day 2 of my 60-day PiYO journey and YES it has only been two days but I'm gonna love this program. How do I already know that? Because any workout program that lets me workout barefoot is a GREAT program in my book ;)
There are actually already several reasons I'm gonna love PiYO, but I will give more of a review of it as I get further into and have tried all the workouts.
What I'd really like to talk about today is nutrition.
So, what I'm NOT excited to say is I've haven't been on track with my nutrition since before I left on my Vegas trip.
It's really hard to come up here and post I'm not on track when I encourage my Biggest Loser and challenge peeps to be but I've also found once I talk about it....once I'm vulnerable and honest....I start to come around. I have to be VERY careful to not let food take control of my life. And, if you've ready My Story, you know a large part of the reason I started this blog and became a Beachbody coach was for my own accountability. I have been honest with my coach on this. And, I want to be honest with you all!
Just like the realization I was working out too much and putting my body through too much, I'm realizing food has been starting to take control again. I haven't been tracking anything. I've skipped a day here and a day there of my healthiest meal of the day (yes, Shakeology!). I've had too many beers...which in turns makes me make even worse food choices. I've had way too much sugar lately. I've been eating out a lot. But, what's even more alarming is it's slowly becoming most of what I think about throughout the day.
I by no means want to have a perfect diet and totally give up beer or a glass of wine. HOWEVER, I now can recognize a lot sooner when it's becoming more than just me wanting to enjoy summer! And, I need to work hard on turning things back around...
Because I know I need to eat to live, not live to eat.
Because I know that when I eat like crap, I feel like crap.
Because I know nutrition is 80% of my health & fitness success.
Because I know...and liked I talked about last week....I can't out-train a bad diet.
Because I know my workouts are 100% better when I'm fueling my body properly.
Because I know if I'm going to try tell someone else they need to focus on nutrition, I better damn well be!
Because I know my skin will be more clear.
Because I know my sleep patterns and energy levels will be better.
Because I know Brooklyn is watching me.
Because I know I'm in this for the long haul.
And, because I know it's not how good I am, it's how good I WANT to be.
