I belong to a group of women who get together every Friday morning and exercise. Today was the first meeting since the Christmas break. It was...intense. And I'm not ashamed to say that I'm exhausted. The one interesting thing about our little club, is that it is on the one weekday that I don't work. It's perfect. I go with my youngest daughter, she plays with her little friends while the moms workout. Then when we're done, I have time to get groceries. And I've noticed a change. After I exercise, I tend to buy a lot more vegetables and fruit and high protein lean meat! I used to be the type of person who after a workout, I'd scoop a big bowl of ice cream. Because hey, I earned it! But now I feel that I put all this effort into exercise, the last thing I want to do is undo it all eating bad things! Don't get me wrong, I'll have ice cream later, but right now, I'm craving hard boiled eggs, fruit and water. Lots and lots of water!!
I've also decided to add another workout day to my week. Friday will stay as my big workout but now I'll be exercising Tuesday and Sunday evenings. I picked evenings because I am not a morning person. I've found that I can ride my stationary bike and still watch tv. So that's the plan going forward. And since my fridge is now stocked with fresh veggies, I plan to eat a heck of a lot better too!
