Plan for Week 4 of 52

This week is going to be somewhat similar to last week. I don't feel like I want to increase my interval times on the run/walk and my weights just yet. I feel like I am still getting a good workout on the weights at the amount I am at. Since it's going to be so nice out this week, I am thinking I will ride my bike to work on Tuesday and Thursday after yoga.

Last week I was very conscious about the amount of salt and cheese I was taking in. Every time I would go for the salt at lunch and dinner, I would make myself take a taste of my meal again. Did I really need that added salt? Nope. I passed. Also, I would usually have a string cheese per day, maybe two, nope not this week I passed. I had two string cheeses last week. I thought about my poor intestines every time I went to add cheese to something. I cut my salad cheese intake to half the amount. I didn't feel deprived, if anything I didn't feel bound up and that's what matters. Plus I noticed I didn't wake up last week feeling as thirsty due to the decrease in salt. Good observations for me this week! I will keep it up next week, I have cheese planned for almost every meal, however I am going to limit it.

Workout plan for the week:
  • Monday and Wednesday: Run/walk interval 30 minutes (Walk 3 minutes at 3.5mph and Run 2 minutes at 5.0 mph), free weights, stretch 15 min, 10 side lunges, 10 front lunges, 10 crunches, 5 push ups
