Shoveling, the Winter Workout

Winter workout

So, I guess I cant really ignore this wonderful workout that winter offers us free of charge.  It’s a great cardio work out, and even from time to time it’s a nice weight/resistance work out.  What am I speaking of?  I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now.

Shoveling snow.

Ahhh, I wish I had a picture of myself that would be fitting of my thoughts of this… maybe I do, let me look

There we go, it’s my best Robert Deniro look.  I’m shoveling here

But the truth is.  I FREAKING HATE SHOVELING.

I wont lie.  I hate it.  I dont do it.  I just bought a car this year, have had a suv forever.  I also have a pretty steep driveway, but dang it, I’ve found ways around shoveling.  I dont even own a shovel!  Hows that for an excuse.  If i cant get out of the driveway to get one, well I cant shovel can I?

I know, it makes me sound bad.  Thats ok, I’m an honest person and I’m not going to sugar coat it.

On the other hand…. YOU should shovel.  It’s good exercise.  YOU could even come shovel MY driveway :)

This weeks workouts

Today is just a light stretch day for me, getting ready for the week to come.  Ive decided that since i just took some pictures a week and a half ago that I will wait until February 1st to post some more.  Every month on the 1st I will update my photos.

I just got done with week 4 of P90X plus.  This next week will be…

  • Monday-Upper body plus & Abs core plus
  • Tuesday- Plyometrix is back again!
  • Wednesday- Total body plus
  • Thursday- Yoga X
  • Friday- Upper body plus
  • Saturday- Kenpo cardio
  • Sunday – Stretching again

Im excited that I am almost 1/2 way through!  I am also excited that I am a Beachbody coach now too.  Honestly, I was skeptical at first, well I was about P90X too.  But Beachbody is just amazing!

Nutrition: What to eat, or, what I eat

Nutrition is very important as I have come to understand it. Apparently eating an entire large pizza by oneself is not a good thing and leads to even worse things. So as I have been on this fitness journey I have learned what to eat on a diet, or really, what to eat for better nutrition. Now I am not a nutritionist, I only know what works for me, and what I havent had to barf from the taste. I hear vomit is not good for ones teeth, so I do try to shy away from it. So here are some foods that I have found to both taste good and work well with with the fitness journey I’m on.

Carrots, raw, just a good snap, they are crispy and tasty
Nature Valley crunchy granola bars
Apples
Grapes and a great couch snack!
Almonds, whole and raw, Blue Diamond sells big bags of them
Pistachios, oh my… new addiction
Lean pockets. ok, I realize there are nutritionists out there that would throw things at me, but look, as of this date I am a bachelor, and they are easy to cook
Fiber One clusters cereal, the commercials arent jokes, it doesnt taste like cardboard, pretty good actually, and ummm, helps with certain processes
P900X Results and recovery shake. Perfect. Has protein, simple and complex carbs for recovery, a bit of creatine, along with other great ingredients
Shakeology shake. 70 great ingredients, and tastes incredible
Wheat english muffins and peanut butter or I cant believe it’s not butter
Soy chocolate milk, you wouldnt believe how good that stuff is
Marie Calendars steamer meals, good stuff!
Tuna salad on wheat bread
Chicken
Chipotle! Chicken, rice, and black beans baby
Hormels White Chicken Chili
Soups
Chicken salad

I could keep going on and on I’m sure. The point is, there is a ton of food out there that you can try, and you WILL like some of it. For every food that you get rid of, you need to find a food to replace it. A little at a time, just work at finding good foods that you can eat and stick with, thats the important part. And there are even cheat days, because you do need to fluctuate your calories! But if you work at finding foods you enjoy, I promise you that you will find them! Have a weight loss workout plan! It’s all part of your at home fitness. No matter where you work out, nutrition needs to be part of your life and you need to practice it everywhere, including at home!
