Well I have been getting back into the swing of things. I did a 26 mile bike ride yesterday and I am doing another 35 mile one Sat. I have been running as much as I can and I am going to make sure I get an hour of cardio in per day.
I was reflecting on how I kept lean years ago. I think the biggest thing was I worked out all the time. I had friends who worked out with me and I had more free time to do what I wanted. Now with another kid on the way I really need to make working out a habit that I don't let myself get out of. It wouldn't hurt to have some friends who wanted to meet with me and work out.
In the fall I will start doing gladiator again with Tony at the Uptown YWCA and dodge ball starts again as soon as the snow hits. I just need something to help keep me wanting to work out the other 5 days of the week. Maybe in the future I will be able to afford a personal trainer or to take small group fitness classes every day.
I keep working on my diet and cutting where I can. I made the switch yesterday away from sugar or corn syrup based sports drinks and onto NUUN. It help that I have about 40 samples of it at home right now that I keep being given from people. In the past I have been a big fan of caffeine based energy drinks but I feel like as I get older I need to get away from them and try to work up more natural energy.
That's all for today, more later stay skinny at the fair.
