I always thought I ate healthy. Which makes me also wonder what else I lie to myself about and how many of us do this regularly. But the truth is I'm far from it. Not anymore.
I've been cooking chicken breast, vegetables and quinoa, pretty much everyday. I've been eating oatmeal for a while but grew tired of it because boy do I hate it. I don't think I ever hated something so much. I practically put so much fruit in my oatmeal it was basically a fruit cup with oatmeal sprinkled in it. So besides Powerbars, I'm eating cereal in the morning.
It's the convenience that makes eating healthy hard. At any moment a quick trip to "pick something up" turns into a smorgasbord of junk food at Jack in the Box. "Control." I tell myself. It's not like I don't like the healthier option. It's just that it's cheaper.
I'm going to push through this. I'm going to workout more and I'm going to stay in control.
My workout routine hasn't changed much. I'm concentrating on sprinting more. I'm running 1 and a half miles in 13 minutes or less and I aim to improve that. I also plan on stretching and rolling my muscles more, I need to be more flexible. The truth is I need to take more yoga and Bodyflow classes.
So more chicken and exercise for me. How about for you?
