Shift Shop week 2

So thankful this morning that my lower back is feeling better. Praise God for healing!!

Today starts week 2 of my new workout and nutrition plan. This week gets a bit more challenging because the workouts are slightly longer and the nutrition plan gets a wee bit more dialed in.

Today’s workout brought me back to my field hockey days back in high school especially the, diamond drill and lateral slide. Fun fact I used to be a field hockey goalie. lol

Remember, your MIND is powerful. Don’t let it talk you out of what you need to do. You are Strong and Capable!

 

 

This week our workouts went from 25 to 35 minutes each day. It still alternated between Speed and Strength workouts every other day. I actually liked that the intensity of the workouts increased and the length of the workouts increased as well. I’m feeling like I’m working harder and I’m hungrier because of it. 🙂 I had to up my weights from 10 lbs. to 15 lbs. on Tuesday for the Strength workout. I  I think I need to up my weights some more for the lower body moves in the Strength workout.

For nutrition this week we dropped a carb so I have 1 carb a day and we now have 4 veggies instead of 3. For this program, you really have unlimited veggies but I’m not going over by too much on my veggies.

Monday and Tuesday I was feeling hungrier as I was getting adjusted to having 1 carb a day. I opted to go for roasted potatoes in the morning with my eggs because I more hungry during the day especially in the morning. It helps fuel me for the day. It’s good to make sure you have more food packed into your day when you are the most hungry.

For Breakfast: I’ve been eating 2 eggs with some spinach and a yellow container of roasted baby potatoes.

Mid morning snack: Shakeology with 1 purple container of fruit

For Lunch: I’ve been packing a big snack with spinach, some shredded carrots, cucumber, peppers, chicken and an orange container of a vinaigrette dressing.

Snack: Apple with cinnamon, 2 tsp of almond butter

Dinner: Salmon with veggies
