Hi Steemit!
I want to start today's update off saying thank you for all the support and all the love I have been receiving. It is truly amazing and I can’t thank you all enough! All the love just motivates me to push even harder which will only help me get closer to hitting my goal weight and being a healthier me! Steemit is really such an amazing community full of only the most amazing people, I love you all!!
Jumping right into it, today has been a great day. I got a good sleep. I stayed up a little later than I would have liked. I fell victim to messing around with my phone and losing track of the time. So, of course, I slept in. I missed my morning workout because of it. To make up for it though I did take a walk on both my breaks and my lunch. The weather is warming up so I figure why not get some fresh air.
My diet was on point today but it been fairly easy as we have all our food prepped. I did have someone reach out and asked about how many days I plan on when prepping? I am no expert and always playing around but I aim for a minimum of three days. Different things obviously can sit longer than others. If I do boiled eggs I don’t try and stretch them so long but the chili I make I will do a large batch. That will last me about a week and sometimes I will freeze it for later. I have yet to get sick but again I am no expert. I just kind of eyeball it. Well Here is my break down for the day.
Food I ate for the day:
Again, this is pretty boring as it’s the exact same as yesterday. I had less coffee in the morning as I want to experiment with cutting back my caffeine. I don’t know if I will ever move to cutting it out completely but just toying around with one cup a day! Well here is the screen cap of MyFitnessPal
Workout today:
I really was kicking my butt for sleeping in and missing my morning workout. Though I wanted to make sure to take advantage of the weather outside so I went outside and walked for all my breaks and lunch. It was beautiful outside. My Fitbit is still wonky and only captured the one walk I went to my lunch.
I did go to Jiu-jitsu today. I can’t wear my Fitbit during drilling or rolling (sparring) as it would probably get wrecked worst than it is right now but I got one heck of a workout. We do a 20-minute warmup that consists of running the mats, 20 pushups, 50 situps, 10 burpees’. Then we line up and shrimp (hip escape) the length of the mat, front roll, zombie crawl and then butt scoots. Now I struggle through the whole thing. There are some people that fight professionally and are in insane shape. When I first joined I was so embarrassed and felt horrible but my training partners seen it and immediately let me know there is nothing to be ashamed of with wanting to better myself. That is why I love JiuJitsu. We do about 30 minutes of drilling technique and then roll for as long as we want to. At that point, I was so sweaty and tired but I always roll with my drilling partner. For those who don’t really know what rolling is, pretty much it's sparring. It’s a chance to apply what you have been learning or work in different positions. I always make a point to at least stay around for rolling because I get a chance to see how the higher belts handle different situations. I am pretty horrible at it and have never come close to submitting anyone but I have got a few sweeps and managed to escape a few bad positions. I can go pretty deep into my Jiu-Jitsu journey but ill save it for another post.
Sleep last night:
I had a great sleep last night. I did stay up a bit too late and slept in but maybe I needed it. I know rest is key to any fitness plan so I won’t go too hard on myself for sleeping in but I did miss my workout. Here is the data from my Fitbit.
Well, that sums it all up. Overall, I had a great day and to top it off I came home to a bunch of amazing comments. All the support really made my day and motivates me to do even better! I cannot thank you all enough for the support!
As always have a great day and thanks again for all the love and support!
