Last night I hit the gym and it was interesting to work out without excess carbs. In the past my body had a reserve of "bad" carbs built up to help energize me. Last night I started learning to run withy "natural" "good" carbs. I was able to run for 30 minutes, which is a decreas compared to my normal runs, however in that 30 minutes I pushed it hard and completed about 3 1/2 miles. I ended the night with a good sweat and feeling like I had a good work out. My goal is to begin this week with some strength training as well.
An interesting conversation took place at work today. We have a sponsored desert competition next week. Basically staff prepare a desert in one of four categories. The deserts are judged by staff and four winners are determined. I think the idea of bringing together people for community is great and I have no problem with it being a desert competition. I was however, told I could not vote unless I tasted the items. I argue that realistically I could visualize and smell the winning desert. Appearance and smell can go a long way. I suppose ultimately I understand, but it somehow feels unfair. My suggestion is that next time we do a healthy food's cookoff and people make dishes that are healthy. Trying to make that taste good can be a challenge. I am so excited about my lunch. I am having spaghetti squash, and marinara turkey meat sauce. YUMMO! I can not wait.
