Back on track after a week of crappy eats. The Warrior Dash took a lot out of me but I continued to try to hit it hard at the gym. I think my body tried to overcompensate for the lack of fuel by upping my craving for unhealthy carbs, fat and sugar.

20 minutes on elliptical, using resistance to up the calorie burn and toning factor!

Dinner was salad, which tasted so much better than the protein shakes I’ve been living on lately. I haven’t been going food shopping and therefore have been either eating junk or drinking protein shakes. Oy!

I think the lack of solid nutrients was making me bitchy, because my mood really altered-for the better-an hour after my salad.

Now I’m with the boyfriend, watching Rescue Me on Netflix.

Nite Fitblrs.

Warrior Dash was amazing!!!!  I’ll be writing a detailed report of how awesome the event was but tonight I just want to focus on recovering from it. I am beat!!! I slept 8 hours last night and still felt drained today.  I managed to pull myself to the gym, but I felt like I needed to take it easy. WD is as intense as it gets.  Steep hills, rocky terrain, and mud, mud, mud.  My boyfriend and I showered after the event and I still had dirt clinging to me when I got home. When I washed my hair?? Forget about it.

Anyway, my Warrior Dash Recovery Workout

3 mile power walk- break into a jog or run if you want, but no incline.

Lunges

Weighted crunches

Standing side leg raises

Arm raises

Pilates with or without resistance bars

Eats

I ate enough after the WD, so today I kept it light. I drank my fair share of coffee,  enjoyed a massive salad made of mixed greens, avocado, and carrots, and dessert was a delicious-although stringy-mango. I also ate my fair share of PB and honey, because I love it.

Thanks to everyone who gave support and who has been keeping up with my exploits through my blog, as well as my Tumblr. Love you lots!!!

I’ve been fighting a cold since last week. Not to be detoured, I’ve continued with my workouts, but yesterday I allowed myself to just stay in bed.

I woke up still feeling congested as hell, but I made myself workout. So glad I did. The gym is empty as hell on Sundays. It’s simply glorious. I bopped all over the weight room, and I didn’t have to sweat the testosterone. Pretty freaking sweet.
