Week 1: Lurong Fitness Challenge for Strength Training and Weight Loss

Over the last few years I have finally figured out what is working for me fitness wise. In the past I have gone to the gym and wandered around not knowing what to do. I would slowly put together a basic workout routine, googling endless fitness posts and watching other people workout. The last few years found me working out a few times a week taking boot camp, high intensity, style workouts, and playing volleyball in the gyms racquetball court. Feeling bored with what I was doing I recently joined a new gym that offers a cross-fit style of prescribed high intensity workout that incorporate olympic lifting, HIIT cardio, and power weight lifting. I’m still at this smaller gym, which provides the type of workout and community that I need to be successful in my goals.   

The food side of life is another story. I’m addicted to sugar, carbs, and processed food. I try to limit my intake but find myself going on binges of processed, bagged foods, like chips/Hot Fries, energy drinks, and chocolate milk to name a few. Its not that I don’t like “good food” (veggies and lean meats), I’m just always on the road for work and go for the easy meal which is usually never the healthiest option.
