Making due

I have found that I can make due with with I have and do not need to go spending a ton of money to stick to my training. Eating better is definitely a bit more expensive but I noticed that because I eat portions instead of just eating till I am full the food last longer. I try and eat mostly organic now but found that I can make due with fresh fruits and veggies even if they are not labeled organic. I read every label now on what I buy (if I have never purchased an item before) and with what I have learned from cyclo fuel nutrition program and info gleaned from the Internet and some books I am reading, even if I don't buy organic I can discern what is more healthy from what is not and make due with what is available. This is a big step for me I typically would go shopping throw some stuff in my cart and check out. Now, I take my time and plan my purchases the best I can, and if in doubt I do with out.

When it comes to making due in my training I do what I have to in order to get some sort of work out in with my busy life. Yesterday I was able to do a 2 hour work out today it will be only some stretching and push ups because I have a contractor at the house doing some work and the kids need to be attended to not to get in the way. I also do not have a bike, should have it in a week or so, I have had to make due with my elliptical. I have developed some very challenging workouts. I do speed intervals, steady state intervals, target HR, as well as light spinning to name a few things. And though it may not translate to exactly the work out I would get on the bike I am seeing some awesome results.

My kids that is another story, I have developed some ways of occupying my children when I work out. While I am on the elliptical they either watch TV in front of me, or they get there little chairs and line them up and watch saying " go daddy go" when I am pushing it hard. Hitting the floor it can be a bit of a distraction they like to get on the floor with me and my littlest one likes to climb on my back or go under me like a bridge while doing yoga posses like down dog. Actually it doesn't bother me at all I hope them seeing this will inspire them to follow in my life of being fit. Well, this is just some of the ways that I make due to stay on track, I have really learned that flexibility is the key and being able to think on your feet. That's why its so important I feel to have a fit way of life as a habit so when you grab for snack its a healthy snack or the healthiest choice available.
