Day one of traveling home to Erie. Today, is a day off for me due to the circumstances. But its good because it gives my knees another opprotunity to take a break. And what better way than a 9 hour car ride? We are soon arriving in Apex NC, which is really close to where zach used to live. We are staying the night with his old high school football coach. The trip has been good so far, the traffic really hasn't been too much of a problem considering its new years day. Zach and I have been taking turns driving and taking turns napping as well!
On the way up we did a lot of talking about what our new years resolutions were and what we were going to do differently in 2012. Both zach and I decided that we are going to eat healthier together and try to workout together at least once or twice a week. It is nice living with someone who is such a positive influence. Zach loves to cook and wants to look for some new healthy recipies. Food is something that I will have to focus on during my training. My plan is to try to eat whole grain carbs for lunch (which will serve as my biggest meal of the day) and to have a lighter dinner like a salad. I also plan to eat high protien snacks before and after my runs in order to fuel and re-fuel my body. Because of zachs experience with football and "bulking up" he is really good a recognizing what foods are low cal, high in protien, and high in fiber. So it will be nice to have zach be on board with me when it comes to eating healthy to pursue both our fitness goals! As for today, we stopped at bojangles and pigged out on fried chicken and biscuits. Diet starts when we get back to Erie lol! And I think calling it a diet is stupid, diets rarely work. We are just making an effort to eat better and I think if we look at it that way, it will be a more sucessful change rather than putting the "diet" label on it. Well I am signing off from my mustang! We will be arriving in Apex in about an hour!
