WOW- I'm really proud of myself. 2 whole weeks without skipping a beat on my workouts and training. So that part is going great. However, the weather here is getting more and more humid and stuffy- even early in the mornings. My run this morning was brutal!! I felt like I was running in a sauna. It was hard to breath and I was sweating profusely and I'm usually not really a sweaty person when I work out. I think I've even experienced some heat exhaustion twice- I get very dizzy and nauseous and a terrible headache. Does anyone have any good solutions to running outside in humid, hot weather? I've started to drink Smartwater because it has electrolytes and that seems to be helping some, but I want to make sure that I'm being careful and not hurting my body in the process.
The diet is working well too, but it seems like I always have one day a week that I splurge a bit. I guess that is okay though- it keeps my body guessing and gives me something to look forward to- a reward maybe. However, I would like to post my meal plans on here so I can track them better too. Each week I design a meal plan using an excel spreadsheet. Does anyone know how to post something from an excel sheet? I tried saving it normally and as a pdf and neither of those will post. I'm kind of blog retarded so if anyone knows how I could do that, please let me know!
My biggest challenge last week was lack of money. I was unable to go to the store for food, so I had to get creative and come up with meals from stuff we already had- you know the cans that you never use that are pushed to the back of the cupboard or things in your freezer you forgot were there. It was difficult, but I managed to do it and keep it fairly healthy. I think I might try that more often- on purpose. It would save us a lot of money.
Well I am down 2.5 pounds- which is awesome. 13.5 to go!
