It's weird because I don't measure ANYTHING. Like portion control has gone out the window, I eat like an animal.
I am here. I am still eating carbs, but now that I'm working out regularly, I have found I cannot ignore when I'm hungry. I feel very poorly if I ignore. So, I eat whenever I'm hungry, whatever I want, as much as I want. Luckily, I adore "healthy" foods, so that's a huge part of my diet. But, I also love things like oatmeal, so I have that regularly too. I love this feeling! I've dropped about 5 lbs on CrossFit, for a total of about 13 lbs. So far.
Brian and I just finished up Speed 1.0 on T25. I don't know if it's because of the carb overload I had last night at our anniversary dinner (Olive Garden... PASTAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! lol) or what but I had so muh energy throughout this whole workout today. more than I've had in a while
I like that Brian and I are doing these workouts together. makes it easier to stick with it and makes it more fun when you have a partner.
This is how I feel with the carbs too! I feel so much better/more energetic. I did not when I was not exercising, just felt bloated and slow. Maybe my body needed carbs and working out to level? I know I'm supposed to be doing Paleo...I'm bad.
I am the total opposite. Jason and I used to run together. I find that I'm much more strict about going to the gym when it's just me. Weird.
Overheard at whole foods "is french toast a carb?"
No.
No it isn't.
IF WE ALL SAY IT IT WILL BE TRUE SPREAD THE WORD FRENCH TOAST IS NOT A CARB IT'S A VEGETABLE AND ITS SUPER GOOD FOR YOU
fries aren't carbs either
neither is pasta
I'm game for this plan!
Let me pull out one of my fitness textbooks and see what else I can come up with. You can also do a lot of the same moves on the cable machines, I like them okay and generally you can keep your movement pretty lose and natural, but I just really like free weights. =P
Did you take classes for this stuff? Or just really enjoy it? You have an insane amount of knowledge.
I have NEVER been into lifting before, I cannot believe how much I LOVE it!
