I know, I know. I've been slacking off on writing posts once again. This is actually a post for Monday. The Day 28 post was supposed to be for a Sunday, and so on. My mind is a bit foggy on how my day went on Monday, but I'll try my best to recover what happened for that day. I remember talking about how I had a problem with my projector, which prevented me from working out on Sunday. I spent the entire day fixing that projector, and finally got it to work. On Monday, I was able to utilize my newly fixed and upgraded projector. The new bulb made everything look so much more clear and colorful, which made it all the more motivating to try out a new workout video.
The Blogilates calendar usually has about 5-7 workout videos per day. Since I wasn't able to do any on Sunday, I had to catch up on Sunday's workout videos plus Monday's workout videos in one day. I realized it would be way too strenuous for me to suddenly do more Blogilates than I normally do in one day, so I did about 1.5 days worth of workout videos. I'm really proud of myself for fitting in more workout videos when I could've stopped at just Sunday's workout. But what's more exciting is that I got my dad to workout with me today.
I'm pretty sure I mentioned that I really want to get my dad to have a consistent workout routine because he's at that age when his body gets weaker, it's harder to keep his blood glucose levels and cholesterol levels in check, and working out seems to be something he needs to do more than I do. So when I turned on a T25 workout video from Beachbody On Demand, and my dad willingly followed along with me, I was extremely happy! He's always been stubborn about working out, and when he says he wants to workout, you know it's a big accomplishment. Not only is it good for him, but it's also good for me. When I workout with a buddy, it motivates me to keep going. It helps me to stay strong and push through my workouts. There's that small competitive drive that pushes you to workout harder than you did before. So the next time you decide to workout, bring a friend! You'll have more fun, and the workout will end before you even know it!
Workout:
59 min of Blogilates
25 min of T25
Diet:
Breakfast - brown rice with turkey bacon
Lunch - Chocolate shakeology with water and banana
Dinner - Salmon donburi (gah!)
How I felt:
So, before I discuss about how my body felt after my diet. I want to explain why that salmon donburi is even there. I got a discount pass that gives you 50% off of certain restaurants within the LA area for certain dishes. I got a pass for me and my dad, so I ended up going to one of the restaurants to try my pass out. Sadly, I didn't bring my ID, so I ended up just choosing a non-discounted dish, but my dad still got the discount for his. I guess this would consider as my cheat meat of the week. They had white sushi rice, so I know that was one of the reasons why I felt so tired afterwards. So moral of the story: you are what you eat. Don't eat something unhealthy, because it'll show. You'll feel tired, unhealthy, sluggish, and just not as awake and energetic as you'd like to be. Healthy foods make you show the best sides of yourself. :)
