Day 1: Lesson Learned.

You know those mornings you wake up and you feel like Super Mom and you can do all? Yeah, me neither, but this morning I did feel like I could get a lot accomplished, including going to the gym, but I didn't have time to fix my regular breakfast. I thought to myself, since it's only 30 minutes of resistance training, I should be fine without fueling before I go, for goodness sakes, it's only 30 minutes on weights. Yeah, lesson learned. Luckily it happened my very last set of everything, but still, it was stupid. I got up from doing my last set and I felt my legs almost give out, my sugars had to be super low, and I had no energy. I was actually worried for a minute. Now, two hours later, I'm still shaky even with my yummy breakfast in me.

One of my favorite things to eat in the morning is a sweet potato hash with eggs, salsa and romaine mix. YUMMY! Oh, and sauteed in coconut oil, which I absolutely LOVE!

I am a people watcher, people probably think I'm creepy just looking at them at the gym and stuff while I'm working out, but I love it. This morning there was a woman who came in, you could tell she was looking for the pool, she had her life jacket sitting on her shoulders, a beach bag, and her cane to help her along the walls, she was blind. I was just finishing up a rep and was about to walk with her to the locker rooms when this older, very sweaty old man went running across the room to great her. He loudly said, "Are you heading to the beach this morning?? May I please escort you there?" and then he proceeded to take her to the pool area. It put the biggest smile on my face and made my morning. I'm sure it made hers as well. You'll see a lot of these types of posts during all of my training since I don't use music in my workouts. (another story another time) I get to hear all of everyone's juicy gossip, their political and religious views, and see the occasional passionate treadmill jogger singing as loudly as she can with the music plugged into her ears. The things I've missed all these years by blocking everything out! Get out and go today! You won't regret it!
