Calories

Since I have not been running this week I am obviously not buring the amount of calories I was burning so I have been watching my calorie intake a lot more close. This is kind of stressfull for me. I am just use to buring a certain amount of calories each day, and I really like to eat. It bring me great joy. I really don't want to count calories. Calories in calories out. If you are not expending enough energy bad things will happen!! Happy Clean Eating!!!

Lost

I am lost without my moring run. The last 2 1/2 weeks have been really hard for me. I stopped running last tuesday because my leg is bothering me so bad that is kills to run on. I think I have just over trained. So I am giving my run workouts a break for the time being. I have started using different machines and I have realized this week that my love for running is still there. I just miss that runners high I feel at about mile 4. I am really hoping that sometime this week my leg will feel better so I can start running again. I do enjoy doing other things, but I really get a great workout from running. I feel like I work my entire body at the same time. Happy Exercising!!!

Sleep

We all know that not getting the propper amount of sleep can cause weight gain. But did you know that to much can do the same thing? So remember we only need 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Happy Clean Eating!!!

ExercisePlateau

Have you hit an exercise plateau? If you train long enough doing the same routine day after day week after week you will hit a plateau. Where do you go from there?? A few things to try...

*Take a break, Do something totally different for week or two and the go back to your "Normal" exercise routine

*Fuel you body, As as body adapts to your new fitness level your metabolism increases. Evalute how much food your body really needs.

*Mix up your routine, if you are not continually shocking your body with new exercises your body will know what is coming next, shock your body. Don't let your ody know what is coming next.

*Change the intesity of your workouts daily, push your self harder certian days of the week, remember to take a rest day too.

*Sleep, if your are not getting enough rest your body doesn't have time to repair your muscles from your workouts.
