Jason was traveling for work this week so I was on my own to workout, cook and take care of Aria. As you can guess it was a busy week! Aria and I survived just fine I cooked some Lemon chicken on Monday and it lasted me through Wednesday. On Wednesday night I made the 3-bean chili again so that Aria and I could eat on it through tonight.
It was strange being at the gym without Jason. I had to improvise a few times because he wasn't there to help me with the barbell. Even though I felt a little self-conscious doing some new things, I just kept going and tried to remember that everyone else in the gym has the same goal as me, to be fit!
It was nice to have Jason back in the gym with me today. Here is a little Flex Friday photo!
Jason:
I did my best to work out or modify the exercises while I was on the road. I was lucky enough to book a hotel that had a dumb bell weight set. It wasn't ideal but it was serviceable. The point is, I didn't want to use traveling for work as an excuse not to workout. I really wanted to stay on schedule because even though I wasn't working out with Sarah this week, I still knew that we were exercising together. Not to mention working 10-12 hour days kind of got me wound up so lifting helped me wind down.
Eating clean was tough. Going out with the customer for dinners and the ever present box of doughnuts in the break room was not helping matters. But if you focus on your goals and find items on the menu that are on your diet, you can make it. Personally if I'm going to eat a chicken breast, then I like to cook it myself. I just don't trust restaurant cooks to make the food as clean as I would like. But again, traveling is not an excuse.
