Like a Boyscout, I'm Always Prepared

The remainder of the week is going to be busy, busy, busy!

It's rush week on campus, and as president of my sororities local alumnae chapter, I am obligated to be there to help out from about 5:00 PM until about 9:30 PM every evening for the rest of week, as well as Saturday morning from about 9:00 AM until about 3:00 PM. 

This is going to put a kink in my normal workout and eating schedule.  I can't afford to neglect excercise and eating clean...the Dominican is a week away!  In order to stay on track with my fitness and nutrition goals, I am making a plan of action.


Nutrition:

In order to avoid junk food at the sorority house, I am going to eat when I get home from work at 3:30 PM.  It will have to be something high in protein to hold me over and something quick and easy to prepare so I have time to get dressed...eggs, salad with tuna or sliced turkey.

Upon returning home late, I'll probably have a protein shake or yogurt to hold me over until morning.

I will also pack a few snacks in my purse in case hunger strikes.  Some nuts/trail mix, boiled eggs, snack/protein bars, string cheese.

Workouts:

Wednesday (usually Bleacher Club at 5:30 PM) - 5:30 AM CrossFit
Thursday (usually CrossFit at 4:30 PM) - 6:00 AM run
Friday - rest day or 5:30 AM CrossFit (depends on how exhausted I am by this point)
Saturday - 6:00 AM run
Sunday - evening run

Look at all the early mornings!  ***groan. Oh well, I'll sleep when I'm dead.






Being prepared and writing down a plan will help me stay on track.  If it's in writing, it is set in stone and there is no backing out!

Do you have any more snack/quick meal ideas for me?
Does writing down workout plans help you commit to them?

A Reflection of My Blogging Experience

I have been blogging for over a week now.  Reflecting back over my week and my blog posts, I've realized a few things...

1. Blogging has been really helpful in keeping me motivated about nutrition and exercise.  Since I have been confessing via this blog, I feel more accountable for my actions.

2. I have a wonderful support system of family, friends, and workout buddies.  Everyone has been so encouraging and supportive of the blog.

3. Blogging takes time. I thought writing a blog post would take 10 minutes max, but it takes 30 minutes minimum.

4. I don't take enough pictures.  Most of the pictures I have posted on my blog are old as dirt or stolen from some internet source. I vow to start being my own paparazzi and photo documenting my life.  The blogs I find the most intersting are the ones full of pictures.
