having trouble getting back into my workouts
Ok, every missed workout at this point is just giving into lame excuses. Yesterday, I skipped cycle U because I was tired. In reality...once I was on the bike, I would have been fine. So this morning I got outside for an easy run. I haven't been to Cycle U for weeks and I find when I've missed a couple of classes, I really have trouble getting myself back there. Once I'm there, It is fine. So what I'm saying is that I'm past the physical issues...and now it is mental. One thing I realized on my run is that I need to journal my food with fitday.com. I have trouble journaling my food with weight watchers... and have had better results with fitday. The difference I think is that I'm a numbers junky and weight watchers doesn't give me real information. It gives me points...and that is it. Fitday gives me grams of protein, all my minerals and vitamins, calories, fiber, etc. So If I'm tired (which I have been very tired since January), Fitday helps me see if it is a nutritional deficiency. In all the years I've done weight watchers, I find that going to meetings helps me stay on track and gives me good knowledge...but their points system doesn't give me the information I need. Also, I know that if I avoid sugar and white flour...I don't have as many cravings. When I do fitday, sugar and flour don't fit in my food plan (because my protein levels drop when I increase my sugar and bread intake). Makes sense if you keep your calories the same. Weight Watchers lulls me into thinking I can work what ever I want into my food plan...and from experience I know I can't eat garbage and get the nutrients I need while keeping my calories around 1400. There is no new info here...just relearning....
