Well, I’ve been going quite good lately! I’ve been able to up my weights at the gym, add a 5 min cardio blast to the end of the workout and even got to running for 1min, walk for 2 and repeat for 20min. Finally, I have been feeling good!
But I have fallen over the last 2 days. 
Had some things going on here at home and I have just forgotten to eat! Some might find that hard to imagine but if I drink enough water/tea/coffee I just don’t feel hungry. I ate a good breakfast yesterday and then did weights…and then I’ve eaten very little since then until tonight when I had an omelet on toast with feta cheese. Hmmm, not good Susan! Not what my MassAttack plan says at all!
After tea, I headed outside to get on the treadmill and do my cardio. I haven’t felt energetic all day so I’ve put it off…better get on to it now, I thought. Alas! I could only manage a few minutes before feeling very faint, like I was going to collapse.
So I’ve learned one very valuable lesson. Yes, I’m getting fitter but it’s not just due to the working out – a lot of it has to do with the nutritional food I’m eating. Take that out of the equation and I’m still not doing real good.
Again, I’m reminded of what Bill Phillips says,
“When you eat the right foods, in the right amounts, in the right combos, at the right times, you simply cannot go wrong!”
So tomorrow it’s back to eating properly, which starts with actually eating! Doh!
My goodness – it sure is tiring reading your blog these days, Susan!!
Yawn… lol!
I’m off to eat chocolate. G’night.
Hmmm, yes eating is recommended!!! Hope you get back into the habit of eating soon.
Inspired by you, I’m signing up for Mass attack soon. I’m hoping they can help me with my Hashimoto’s disease.
Hi Jeanne, it’s tiring living in my shoes! Really, I amazed (and pleasantly surprised) at how much I’m able to keep up with family life now that I’m getting fitter and healthier. Teens just never stop- mentally or physically. 🙂
Hi Jo, Yes, it’s rather silly to not eat but if I don’t feel hunger pains (or if they’re easily subsided by a cup of tea) than you can probably see how easy it is to simply forget about food. It’s not something I do in order to lose weight or anything like that. But preparing and thinking about food and meals really takes a lot of effort for me.
Oh, if you could mention my name when signing up for MA, that would be great. You don’t have to, of course but if you felt led to than that would be appreciated.
