Goals Update

A quick recap on my goals so far:

Snacks. I researched some foods to eat before working out and now I’ve been having Greek yogurt as my snack before class, between 5:00 and 5:30. I know there’s other good snacks out there so I’m going to keep experimenting with new ones.

Form. It is an everlasting battle with form during class, but I am reminding myself of things like holding my core and keeping my knees over my ankles. I have been paying more attention to doing the moves correctly and I’ve also been trying more level 3. I still need work on some plyometric moves!

Yoga. I definitely want yoga to become a part of my routine; I felt great during week 2 when I did it. I’m looking for a reasonably priced early morning yoga class near my house and I'm going to purchase at least a month pass starting in October.

Calories. I’ve been writing down each night what I ate at what times in a journal, and then I input the portions and exercise on my phone using the Lose It! app. I was able to maintain my goal calorie deficit every day except Saturday (my rest and cheat meal day). I do need to get better at writing things down after I eat them, though, so I don't forget anything!

Shoes. I found some that I’m pretty happy with so far! The high ankle definitely helps and they are comfy, so I’m not worrying about them during bootcamp. I’ve also noticed I’ve been able to land better during jumps and I’ve been concentrating on landing more softly--which is great since stomping too hard is how I hurt my ankle in the first place.

Running. I failed at running this weekend! :( I was all set to go to the running clinic that the coaches had set up and then I ran out of gas Saturday night, left my car in Adams Morgan and it too late by the time I got it going again Sunday. But no worries, I am definitely going to knock this goal out this weekend!
