Thrive Diet - Day 3 Reflections

Today, I didn't even have a cup of Teecino! I kept reusing my teabag from Starbucks this morning (Vanilla Roobios tea). Having lots of fruit on hand helps a lot with the coffee cravings. I also bought lunch at the cafe since they made curry. I had the vegetarian curry, and opted not to have the tandoori chicken (I know .. typing this pains me).

Shortly after lunch, I went for a swim. I know - maybe it wasn't the wisest idea. Nevertheless, I felt great after the swim. Lunch workouts do a great job at resetting my day. I came back recharged and ready to work some more.

One thing I noticed is that I'm a lot more regular. I also have higher overall energy levels. We'll see if I can get stronger on my CrossFit Totals from this vegan diet. As I'm typing, I'm eating my post-workout dinner of brown rice and vegetables =)

Excited for family devotions tonight! Romans 5 =) One of my favorite passages is Romans 5:1-8. Check it out!

The Unofficial Guide to the Hart House Circuit

"The circuit training programme was designed in 1953 by Professor Emeritus Kirk Wipper (University of Toronto). At the time it was developed, the circuit training programme bridged a significant demand for individual fitness development. Today, as in the past, Professor Wipper's efforts are inspiring generations of Hart House members to achieve a better fitness level and a healthier lifestyle." -Hart House Circuit Training Handbook The following chart shows the stages of the Hart House Circuit.
