July 2nd-July 8th - Training, Refueling, Blogging

It was an unorganized week because of the holidays with not eating enough and working out with the light intensity of whatever exercise felt in the moment with no template or formatting. It is as if I worked out but did not feel like I got proper workouts in. That is okay, I am human it happens.

When I get busy with events like holidays or other distractions of daily life, I forget to eat enough. It was probably the reason felt like lighter workouts because did not fuel for high-intensity.

In the past, always wondered why bodybuilders ate so much. Now as a woman that does intense strength training and has grown much muscle, eating is so important. It is as if I am feeding the muscles and the workouts. I love having extra muscle, I feel so physically strong right now.

My unorganized week, made me realize even more how important fueling the body is for fueling the workouts. I am amazed by how much I can eat now compared to my body of the past with less muscle. I am eating more than I ever did in my life to fuel my weekly training sessions.
