Banded Pistol Squats, Struggling to Build a Fit And Healthy Body

I tried banded pistol squats this way the other day at my gym, and I really liked it:

I have an Equalizer at home that I NEVER use. I got it as a gift, and I find it really unstable and unsafe. I used it to do banded pistols yesterday morning, and it worked great. Finally, a use for them!

Here is an article from another blogger Nia Shanks. I love her stuff. This is a great read!
http://www.niashanks.com/struggling-build-fit-and-healthy-body/ She is all about adapting to your schedule and environment at the time, because lets face it, sh*t happens! You have to unexpectedly work late, your alarm doesn't go off, your get sick, your kiddo gets sick, you get stuck in traffic, etc, etc, etc.

I had all intentions of getting up early this morning, but both of my kids were up in the middle of the night. I slept like crap. I get migraines when I don't sleep, so I slept in. I had to do a quickie workout instead of what I wanted to do, but it was better than nothing.

My shoulder is acting up again too - Grrrrrrr, so I have to take it easy with certain exercises. Makes me crazy. But some exercise is always better than none.

I start a new job in 2 weeks too, so I am all over the place. I will HAVE to get up super early 3x a week to get workout in or I won't be able to get one in at all, so we will see how that goes. I usually take a Sat or Sun off, but I might switch it to a weekday instead. All in due time. I just have to see how it everything goes.

I went to the grocery store yesterday as well, so I am trying the new diet I did in my last post:

I'm a snacker, so this ought to be interesting for me. I'm not looking to lose weight, just change body composition. I did GREAT last spring before the summer time came around, but now that the winter is coming I'm up to some of my old habits because it is bulky sweater and long pants time. Not good. If I can find something I can do year round that would be better! I like this diet because it is NOT low carb. I do NOT do well on low carb. LOTS of people do far better on low carb, but I am not one of them. I definitely struggle getting in enough protein so I hope this diet will help as well. I will keep you guys posted how I do next week.
