So, I started taking this supplement (all natural) last Thursday afternoon. It's full of good vitamins, important amino acids that you only get in certain foods, etc....stuff my fitness savy friend said would be great for my body. Plus, now that I'm off of caffeine (if they have a rule "i before e", they should stick with it!!! stupid spelling : )) Ok, sorry about the side tracking...but, now that I'm off of caffeine and most aspartame, I can put vitamins and supplements into my body becuase they'll actually work. Over the weekend I noticed that my body was running constantly which made me HUNGRY ALL DAY!! Seriously, I texted my friend Aaron to tell him I couldn't "stop the hunger" at which point he told me that was a good thing and that I should give my body the fuel it was asking for (with apples, cheese, nuts, "clean food" as he called it). So, I did.
So that was this weekend with my lighter workouts that generally take place in the middle of the day once I've had some substantial food in my body. BUT, today was the first day I did bootcamp after taking the supplements in the morning, on 1/2 protein shake and a small banana and BOY WAS IT DIFFERENT! It was like the energy was just shooting through my system. At one point, I even got a little shakey because I probably didn't have enough food it in me, but I did feel like the amino acids were working and like I could give a ton more to my workout. We'll see how this continues but I think it's a good thing and I'm interested to see how it continues to affect my performance (haha, who ever thought I'd be mroe concerned about my fitness performance than I would about my weight!?!?!?)
Anyway, I have vacation today through Thursday so waking up this morning at 4:45am when I knew I could sleep until midmorning was a bit of a challenge, but I'm glad I went. Yesterday was the start of a new session at bootcamp and we had three new women join us today. They're all in decent shape so I'm guessing once they catch on to the workouts that they'll be right up there and pushing me....which I'm excited about.
We did a full body TRX workout today with no additional cardio which is my favorite workout! My muscles all hit thier max but I came home and refueled with a protein shake.
The crazy thing is that I am now wide awake at 6:45am with nothing to do because I don't need to get ready for work. I think I'll get some more house work done before I shower (WHO AM I???? Seriously, sometimes this has changed my life so much that I can't believe it. The other Annie would have definitely slept in until 10am or, at least wanted to crawl right back under the covers when I got home.
Glad things are continually changing....
