Ok, so here's what I ate today (yes, there is a point to this...):
I got up at 10.45 (or so) and had 1/2 cup hot water and lemon
I then had a 1/2 glass watermelon juice (was juiced last night at our first ever juice party!!)
At say 12.30pm I had 4/5 of a large vegetable salad w/humus and 1/2 cup peppermint tea
I left for the gym at about 1.30pm and I did cardio for approx 50 mins (5 mins rowing warm up, 32 mins of cycling, 10 minutes on the elliptical). Since it was my first day back at the gym in 2.5 months (and I haven't put a programme together yet), I decided cardio would be enough to get back into it. Anyway, I went on the scale and it told me 53.5kg (117 lbs) which means I've lost 8lbs since I was in B'dos at the beginning of August. I'm not trying to lose weight; not eating does that quite fine! LOL. But seriously, I'm hoping to get to some kind of stable weight in the next few months as I get my eating into a pattern. I'm kinda scared of what that weight might be tho, I'm not thinking under 110lbs would look cute on me at all!!!! But I weight training will likely make me heavier, even while I look slimmer....
Anyway, the point of this blog:
I thought I might not feel well without food at the gym (altho I wasn't feeling hungry) so I brought 1/2 glass of green juice diluted with water with me. (Green juice is w/e greens I have in the fridge. Last night it was spinach, celery, parsley, broccoli w/pineapple, melon, and lemon.) Glad to report that I had a lot of energy and I was just mentally lazy so I didn't stay longer.
I always thought I had to eat a 'good, solid' amount about 3 hours before going to gym. But I've found (from May and June when I was detoxing and still gyming) that when I'm 'light' going into the gym I have more energy, more stamina and so end up working harder and longer! So there! Gym is back!
