Pilates kicked my bootay today! Need to eat more in the morning

Posted April 29, 2009
File under: Pilates, Push ups

Ahhh, still not eating enough early on in the day. I was so busy at work I could not get a lot of food in. In the last 4 months I’ve progressively cut sugar and sodium out of my diet. So no sugar with my coffee and oatmeals most days. Today I had a hard time taking in regular oatmeal with no sugar. As much as I wanted to add sugar I know it’s best that I don’t. Perhaps one day I can get used to it and not want to vomit. Sparks people tells me “Thai Curry chicken” which is the same as my curry chicken is full of sodium and high in cal. Well, my home version is bland and I don’t think the calorie count should be that high because the ingredients are simple. So I added my own in. Same goes for my sour chicken. They made it a high sodium dish but I know my home version doesn’t have that many in it.

Today was not a push-up day but got 100 in. Ended up doing only 1/2 an hr of weights before going to Pilates. I know what I did wrong, I forgot to eat that energy bar before class. As much as I wanted to get a run in I opted out for tonight. I can still here my baby in my ears telling me I’m trying too hard too soon.

I did my 100 push-ups before class because I felt like I didn’t get a good upper body work out in. The instructor had us do some more but this time after we went to a high side plan position and into tri-cep push-up stance. Not hard but just an awkward position for me.

Of course I already planned to get a run in tomorrow morning before work. Perhaps just 3 miles? Easy enough and I’m not going for time. Just 3 hours at a nice pace. Then in the evening I can do a 4 mile walk before Pilates again. Now, if I can only get my baby to not spoil my night so I can eat and get up for the gym.

Ahhh crap - almost forgot to add - I notice my protein and fat intake is really low for the day. I’ll eat a bit more chicken from my sour soup. AND HAVE TO GO GET SOME COTTAGE CHEESE! Except dairy gives me gas.

Proud of you!

Hi sweetie! Yes, I’ve had a SP account for a long time but recently started using it again.
coolbird30 @ April 30th, 2009

Nancy, if cottage cheese is your only dairy, you may not have the gas problem. Can’t hurt to try… and sprinkle some cinnamon on there as well!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
