Sprinting Works and I Don't Need No Stinkin' Carbs

Sometimes I still do get all fancy pants.


Today I attended the SWIC (Shenzhen Women's International Club) Farewell Lunch. This was the first big event I attended a year ago when we had just arrived in China. Since then I've made some really good friends from this group. Today we said farewell to many members, enjoyed a terrific lunch, listened to an amazing performance by Akia Knowles, and received beautiful parting gifts. I also received a very thoughtful thank you gift for helping organize the run group.




The lunch pushed my workout to the afternoon. So I took my 15 sprints to the fitness center and ate them up. I honestly think they're getting easier...or am I getting stronger? Either way, they are working on my body. I feel AMAZING and my clothes are feeling more comfy again.


Oh, and the plank challenge move of the day: sliding knee tucks. Looking for a new variation that you can REALLY feel? Do this. My abs, my quads. Oh my.


Today's eats for LOW CARB DAY

Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs with ham, coffee


Lunch: baked salmon and steamed veggies, water


Dinner: leftover bbq chicken, green beans, salad, and Coke Zero 


Macros: I don't need no stinkin' carbs! 25 net carbs today and I feel more fulfilled than I did yesterday. There's seriously something to this carb cycling program.



When was the last time you got dressed up (not for work)?

What was the last thing that made you feel STRONG?
