My sisters boyfriend who can eat 17 times a day and still stay fit and muscular never totally made sense to me. How is it fair that he needs to go to the gym to gain weight?
In the back of my head I know the answer but thought not everyone is like that! He may be the extreme, but it makes way more sense when you are eating clean 6X a day! That's how we keep our metabolism moving! Eat up and move. That's the formula.
My sister would joke that her boyfriend
Would eat a protein packed something and 20 minutes later hear churning in his belly, which he referred to as "his body breaking up the food as a finely tuned machine."
All kidding aside, he is right! Calorie deprivation long term as a solution for weight loss is dangerous and not sustainable. I'm learning more about my body every day, responding quickly to my workouts and nutrition!
Today's workout was Interval, the same one that made me want to vom a few days ago. It felt more fluid today, my body was still challenged, but adjusted to the high intensity really well.
I'm writing this cuddled with my 17 month old gorgeous little daughter, reminding me WHY I am taking this journey. I get to be around for a long time for her, I get to show her that when you are committed you go for it no matter what. Health, fitness, determination, all of it, I get to be the difference.
Tomorrow is a rest day, obsessive Raina asked if she could work out anyway, Coach Michelle checked me. I know, I know!
