Settling in to a Routine
If you want to be consistent with your workout and diet, you have to establish a routine and stick to it. Flying by the seat of your pants will never work, so this week (Week 1) I’m establishing my routine.
I’m still spinning two days a week, so that works best for me on Monday/Wednesday mornings at 5:45am. If I miss one of those days, I can still go on Friday mornings at 9:15am. If I don’t miss, I can hike a mountain or ride my bike on Friday mornings. I have about 6 mountains close by to choose from. Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday are my weight training days, and I can always trade Saturday for Sunday if something is going on on Saturday. Sat or Sun will be my day of rest. Rest is important.
I’m establishing my diet routine as well. Pictured above is one my breakfast menus: 2 pieces of toast, 2 eggs (1 whole/1 egg white), piece of fruit and yogurt. I usually split this up and eat it if I’m working out in the morning. For instance, I’ll eat the yogurt and fruit before spin class and then the rest after. For the rest of the day, I’m sure to prepare the food the night before and pack it all up for easy transport. Earlier in the week I made a huge salad and grilled chicken and tuna steaks, and I’ve been eating the salad all week with the protein mixed in.
