Ok, it's 10 weeks post baby and my workouts have been going well. I am feeling stronger each week! Now it's time to evaluate what empty calories I'm taking in that are not benefiting me or the baby. So as of today, I've began logging my eating habits again. Not for the purpose of cutting a large amount of calories from diet, but to be mindful of my food choices and portions. Since I am nursing my baby, I know that I can go into a huge deficit of calories -but I can certainly eliminate any unnecessary mindless eating.
So where am I finding motivation to help with this portion of my regime? I am watching Olympic highlights and the athletes! Athletes eat for performance. They know that their nutritional habits have a large factor in their training and performance. When I competed in fitness, it was all about eating for performance and the aesthetics from weeks of dieting. Now, without competing, my lifestyle is still all about endurance. I still need to eat for performance with working, being a mom, a wife and working out. When I eat clean good calories -I feel better, have more energy and everything falls into place! When I allow myself to consume poor choices, my body feels it by becoming sluggish and muddy thinking. The winter Olympics has been a source of energy for me and has reminded me to look more at my choices go back to choices based on what I need nutritionally to be efficient and run at optimal pace for a busy lifestyle.
Find your motivation and visit it often! Make the better choices and feel the difference!
