listening to a wonderful genius playlist this morning, ridden with rilo kiley. its pleasant.
so yesterday was my first day of bootcamp. it was a spin class. it was REALLY hard - but fun! and my butt really hurts today... not the muscles. just where the seat of the bike hurt. you know what i mean? its probably bruised... my legs are also kinda sore. not as bad as i thought they would be. i also found out what percentage of my body is fat... which... well i don't know what is normal. i know i must be somewhat high because my eat habits lately have been awful and i haven't been all that active, but i would still like to know what normal is.
the woman had a hell of a time trying to make me a meal plan because... well... being vegetarian and not liking tofu has its protein challenges. as it is, there are some things on there i'm not really keen on eating (like several different kinds of porridges). yuck. and i have to eat every 3 hours. which is weird... i have a tendency to get doing something when i am home by myself during the day and then i forget to eat. or going out and doing running around and just not eating for several hours because i am busy! it is going to be hard to keep track of that. i had a breakfast that is not on my approved list of meals - poached eggs on dry toast. it was grainy bread... and it tasted really good. haha. the info that i got says that all the food we're supposed to eat won't necessarily taste good, but think of it as fuel. i just can't justify eating something that doesn't taste good. what is the point?
i better get going and get ready for my meeting at the station this morning! and then jen and i are going to bootcamp together again! woo!

indeed what is the point? Food can be good for you AND taste good, so why eat gross food? Bootcamp sounds intense, good luck! There are more protein things to eat than tofu though, right? What about, say, lentils, or quinoa?
ReplyDeleteI thought normal was somewhere between 19-25 percent?? Look it up online, it'll tell ya. I too just can't eat things I don't like. Plus, I think if you try to force yourself, you're less likely to make a permanent change, because no one wants to eat gross food regularly. Yay for bootcamp. I love getting my butt kicked (love/hate- love the feeling of accomplishment, hate it while I'm doing it)
ReplyDeleteps- got you wedding invite yesterday- exciting!
personally i like it better when i get a list of foods i can eat and then i make my own plans. and i know! remembering to eat every 3 hours is hard!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. It is very hard to justify eating food that doesn't taste good... Almonds taste good! They have protein... which you probably already know, but... just in case...;)
