March is coming soon and I need to write a post. As a life update here's what's going on: I turned 27 on the 19th, I decided that May 31st is my last and final day as a high school athletic trainer, I may be moving again in May with my roommate, I'm going to be in Europe in April with 2 of my besties from college, Jonathan and I are planning a couple trips later this year, and I really like my new job at The Athlete's Advantage. The commute could be better but that's a different conversation. I've been working a lot lately, in a way that's good since my clientele is increasing. At the hs things are slowly transitioning into the spring sports which will allow me to be done with the work day earlier. So as soon as my contract expires at the high school I'll be working full time at Athlete's Advantage (referred to as AA from now on.... awk).
This month I wanted to see if I could count my macronutrients. I figured out that it was a bad month to start because 1) I didn't have a food scale, 2) It's my birthday month so measuring things wasn't gonna go well or accurately enough. Sigh. So the month of March needs to be on track, and I need to be diligent. Jonathan's been guiding me with counting and measuring to make sure I was doing this counting macro's thing correctly.
I've increased my workouts to 4x/week. Well, 5x/week if you want to include a day of cardio. My workouts look like this:
Monday- Legs (push)
Tuesday- Arms (pull)
Wednesday- Cardio/HIIT workout
Thursday- Legs (pull)
Friday- Arms (push)
It's just about that time to change up my workouts since I feel like I'm getting a little bored/not as challenged with my workouts in the past.
Jonathan is having another photoshoot next weekend! He wants to see differences from June of last year to this one. He's been working his ass off... well kinda literally. I don't know how many of you know but he wants to compete someday. He really looks up to his idols and wants to be on stage with them one day. Please support him as much you can! I know he posts nothing but fitness related topics but this is his greatest passion. I'm sure his photoshoot will be awesome and the pictures will show the amount of hard work he has made since June... actually, ever since he started. I'm extremely proud of him, and very inspirational. I for one am still trying to come to terms with looking at myself in the mirror and seeing something that I admire (always a work in progress...). It's funny to catch him checking himself out in glass reflections or in the mirror (sometimes I wonder why he takes a little longer to get ready for the day, turns out he's just checking himself out in the mirror :P ) Anyway, Jonathan plans to compete in a show when he turns 30. Cross your fingers and toes for him please!
Be well and healthy!
Best,
Marie
