An update on exercise and nutrition. I’m 5 months into my new year and feeling strong. In January I was still running 3x a week with weight lifting on other days. I also began a “squat challenge”- 10 squats after every time I had to pee! That adds – Whew
By March I was ready to dive in again to the original P90x videos.. They are long with too much talking, so I skip to the exercises. I’m coming up on day 80 and will add some running back in after a time off for my hip.
I finished Keto, but have stayed lower carb – not really counting those per say. I do choose fruit & veggies over grains & bread. 2 drinks I consume EVERY day: BCAA/lemon/apple cider vinegar (pre-workout). And a low-carb protein shake (post-workout).
50s haven’t been bad! My neck & back ache more but I attribute that to sitting poorly while typing, sewing, painting… Energy is good, I only wish I could visibly see more of my muscles :/
Favorite snacks remain: raw nuts (toasted and mixed with Lily’s chocolate chips), Kirkland Nut Bars and any berries. ❤️ Goat or sheep hard cheese is a daily indulgence. We will be traveling to Spain this summer. I can’t wait to try their varieties.
After 1/2 a century, my one discovery: I don’t need as many calories as I used to, so I try to make them count nutritionally – paying attention to what’s in my food and where it comes from is #1. Stick to the garden.
Eat something healthy!
