CHANGE IS GOOD

You know it was a good week at the gym when you wake up on Sunday morning and just about every muscle in your body is sore. hahaha Well it wasn't quite that bad, but I am still sore from Friday's leg circuit. Then of course on Saturday's partner work out I tried to push pretty hard to keep up with my partner Sean. He was great to work out with and kept pushing me to do more at times when I was feeling sluggish and thought I couldn't push it. Thanks Sean!

So Shannon and I were out with some friends last night and we ran into Tiff and Christina at Bartinis and it was pretty funny because Tiff jokingly asked me how I was going to manage drinking Martinis and watch my calorie intake at the same time. I quickly reverted back to something I heard earlier that day about the 80/20 rule......with a twist. Eat 80% good all the time and 20% of whatever you want the rest. I think I used the whole 20% last night for the whole week! hahaha Actually a friend of mine who is a competitive body builder has lived by eating really good during the week and pick one day to blow it. That doesn't mean go out and gorge until you drop....but if you crave that pizza, burger, etc.... Have it on that day, he said it is really important to do that. I thought he was full of it, I thought I could eat perfect all the time and I found out that is not as easy as it sounds. You need that break to enjoy food, God knows there is so much good food in Portland to enjoy. Oh and Tiff...just in case you were wondering, I did row this morning! hahaha
