That's right. If you know me, you know I love cardio. For the past few months, I haven't been doing much in the way of strength training at all. I know, I know. I have heard from everyone that if you want to lose weight fast and tone up, you NEED to do strength. Well, kids, I have been doing strength training and falling in love with it. I'm going to cut back the cardio to half an hour and throw in more strength training and weight lifting. I just feel like I don't know what to do, how many reps to do, how often to do it, and how it should feel so I know I'm doing enough to see good results. Should I always feel a bit sore, is that what I'm going for? I'm a strength training idiot! Help!
I'm also trying something new for dinner tonight. . . I'm cooking salmon. I'm thinking oven roasting it will be the easiest way to cook it all the way through. I am not a medium rare girl. I like things cooked through, thanks. I have been craving salmon for a while, but I never thought to cook it at home. I was at the grocery store last night (Sunday night is my favorite time to shop) and I came across Henry & Lisa's Wild Alaskan Salmon with an Asian marinade. I'm going to leave the marinade off and save 60 calories and have it with a side of asparagus spears. That is, if this is actually successful. I'm kind of nervous about cooking salmon and having it turn out awful and giving myself food poisoning.
It's still cold in Minnesota. I'm aching for warm weather and not having to wear shoes and coats anymore. I want to run outside! Grumblegrumblegrumble.
1 hour later...
I took a nap, woke up with the biggest sugar craving I've had in months. I have salmon in the oven, but I'm not even hungry for it. All I want is chocolate and peanut butter and LOTS of it. Ugh, this always happens to be when I take a nap, or accidentally fall asleep on the couch using the cat as a pillow. I wake up fiending for food, usually junk food! NOM NOM NOM GIVE ME CHOCOLATE.
2 hours after that...
I gave in. I had a bunch of chocolate. I baked salmon and then decided healthy food just wasn't going to work tonight as the salmon was in the oven. So I had cereal. Lots of cereal. And peanut butter. I hate this feeling of being out of control and giving into cravings. I was rocking all day long and eating well, I even did strength training, and I gave into a weird craving. I wasn't even that hungry when I had cereal, I just wanted to binge on something. Feeling a little down on myself. Tomorrow is a new day, yeah, but right now I feel like a failure today.
