REC Report: It was awesome! There were so many machines and each one had it's very own TV attached and everything. It was even better than Life Time. I want to look into going to classes because they push me to my limits (something I definitly don't do on my own). I felt bad though because after about 45 min. my body was screaming at me and I pestered Whitney into leaving before she was ready to go. I guess that's what I get for staying away from the gym for so long. There were tiny tan girls working out all around me and that didn't make me feel much better either. I guess that's something I need to work on ignoring. I hope Whitney can be patient with me while I work my way back into things because if I'm going to keep this up I'm going to need all the motivation I can get.
FOOD Report:
Yesterday I dog sat for Whitney. It was the worst time to have the munchies. There were corn dogs, waffles, toaster stroodles (the kind with the yummy icing you get to put on top) breakfast sandwiches (the kind like you get at McDonalds that are so greasy and so good) cheese, crackers, peanut butter...aaaaahhhhh!!! (I didn't even look twice at the apples or yogurt) Mom is right again, it's not about any kind of boredom or depression or anything like that, it's simply the desire for the cheese, grease, and salt. After stuffing my face full of food I shouldn't have, the guilt set in. I have to say the blog is helpful because I would have had grabbed more food if I wasn't thinking about how I'd have to write about it here later. I guess you could call yesterday my first set back. (okay and today wasn't that great either)
The New Attitude:
I'm ready to put the set back behind me and move forward with a much better attitude. I know that if I'm going to have the swim suit ready body I want by the time spring break rolls around that I don't have time for set backs. Everyday needs to be a good day, and it needs to continue past spring break and become a new lifestyle. I couldn't find Making the Cut, but I am still apart of the authors mailing list and every day she emails a new Tip for the day. I've decided I'll start to post them on here and hopefully her words of encouragement will be just as helpful for yall as they are for me. I also made a list of rules that I'm going to follow that will hopefully help to keep me on track.
1. No fast food or eating out (this includes County Line food...no exceptions)
2. 30 min. of cardio a day (no excuses!)
3. No mayo
4. No fried food
5. No eating past 10:00pm
...to name a few.
Mom I did mention the tennis shoes, but I think you'd already gone christmas shopping, but no worries because the shoes I borrow from Whitney work just fine. Not to mention the roller blading with Charlie which is so much fun! I don't even need shoes for that. It sounds like dad still isn't being much of a good influence on you. I'll have to have a word with him about that. I know that the habits are hard to form but diet 105 will be the working diet...I can feel it. I'll end this entry with the Jillian Michael's tip of the day.
Tip of the day from Jillian:
The Power of "I Can"
Last night, Bob completely flipped out on Joelle because she wasn't giving 100 percent in her workouts. She kept on saying she was doing her best, that she couldn't try any harder, but he wouldn't take that for an answer. Well, guess what — in the end, she did what he was asking her to do. And she didn't die. The only thing holding her back had been her belief that she couldn't do it. Think about the roadblocks you're creating for yourself when you keep saying, "I can't." What would you accomplish if you started saying "I can"?
