Day Two: Nutrition and Interval Training

Spent two hours at FT today. I have to keep a journal of everything I eat and had to hand in my first week's entries yesterday. Tonight, Lisa broke everything down for me-carbs, protein, fat, etc-and basically I'm doing most everything wrong! There is so much conflicting and confusing information out there about what to eat-low fat, low carb, low calorie-Lisa created a customized plan for me that I think is do-able. It will change as the workouts change, but it's actually alot more food than I've been eating this week, and it requires me to be eating 6 meals instead of 3. I went to the grocery store to stock up tonight-we'll see how it goes.
Anna is very sweet and worked with both Cherish and I tonight. We were cross-training between abs and core stabilization and cardio; it was pretty nuts. I was happy to have Cherish there, as it challenged me to hold my planks longer and do more pikes on the ball.
Tomorrow is a day off from training. I will still do 30-60 of cardio on my own. My father is visiting from Florida the rest of the week for my oldest's 4th birthday. He'll probably try to get me to eat some of our regular "visiting junk" like take-out pizza and ice cream, plus there's the whole birthday cake problem. I think the nutritional counseling today and then shopping for the right foods tonight will help me with that. I hope.
