Life After Team Sports : Tags : swim

For the last week I've increased my activity: swam half a mile on Monday, 30 minutes on the bike on Tuesday, two consecutive soccer games on Wednesday (sadly,we lost in the championship game), 25 minutes on the bike on Thursday (while catching some inspiration from a Tour of California stage) and a soccer game on Saturday.

While I've been exercising more regularly, I have not been focusing as much on what I am eating. My next goal is to conquer the balance between both the fitness and the nutritional aspects of leading a healthy life. I'm also getting restless for spring and anxious to get outside and tear down the lakefront path. I expect my desire to be outside and active to naturally increase as the days get longer and the weather gets nicer.

Update

Posted by Trish18 Feb 18, 2008

A little update since my last post... I've been taking advantage of the indoor bike trainer the past few days. I hopped on my bike for a quick session on Thursday and Friday, each around 25 minutes.

One of my favorite times to get pedaling is during ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" because it's broken into timed intervals that range from 30 seconds to 2 minutes that make it easy to set little goals to go harder, stand, etc. I love the show anyway, so cranking out the miles comes even easier when listening to the bits of sports banter.

I swam on Saturday morning and had an indoor soccer game Saturday afternoon. Sunday was a pretty lazy day, but I did go to the grocery store to restock healthy foods to prepare this week. I'm headed to Halas this evening to swim and/or go to a spin class.
