Daily Check-in
I am blessed with abundant energy this week even though I have not been getting enough sleep. I need to start getting to bed earlier, but I am delighted that my way of eating is keeping my energy consistently high all day. I credit this to intense morning Cathe workouts, eating balanced meals and power snacks every few hours, drinking plenty of spring water, and taking Emergen-C.
After my quiet time this morning, I did the Kick Max warm-up and blast challenge followed by the warm-up, standing legs, and stretch from Gym Style Legs. What a fun combination! After experimenting with both ways, I have decided that weights first is best for me on upper body days and cardio first is best for me on lower body days. Training my upper body is my least favorite thing to do, so I like getting it out of the way and having a cardio workout to look forward to as a treat. I also get more out of my lower body workouts when I warm-up with cardio first, and it is difficult to give my all to cardio after an intense workout like Gym Style Legs. After the slow motion lunges and calf raises, I am ready to rest!
I planned menus for the next 2 days and went to the grocery store after work. My meals and snacks are packed for tomorrow. I saved the first segment of Core Max for tonight. I like this as a separate workout.
It is time to call it a day. Sweet dreams!
Tammy, I am reading your book and eating more beans! I am not there yet with the veggies, but I getting there!
Becky and Annette, I started taking L-Theanine for stress relief in September and started sleeping better as a pleasant side effect! I just need to discipline myself to get in bed earlier. Thankfully, I am sleeping like a baby once I finally call it a day.
Blessings,
Heather B.
