Sick and Tired Whitney

I caught a cold... or something. I had sniffles, dizziness and a cough. AND after working so hard on my legs and arms Friday and Saturday, I'm worthless at the gym. So yesterday I had a good diet day and waited tables as my "work out." We had to go to the store to buy some laundry detergent after our shift and I was practically crawling around. Brian had to help me get out of the car. He also tried to carry me to the car from work, but my legs and arms were so sore that even being carried hurt. It was a nice thought though. But if it makes it any better, I thought really hard about working out yesterday.

I am probably sore because of Mom. haha. At the rec Sat., I was working legs and talking to Mom on the phone. I hopped on the HipAbductor while I answered the phone and when I got off the machine it had been 34 minutes. That's what happens when I get carried away in a conversation. And it was the perfect machine to use your phone on because it's hands free, all leg work. I'm paying for that now. My inner and outer thy muscles ache so much.

But today I'm going back when Leah gets home from doing laundry. I think I'll try to take it easy. My arms are doing better, so I'll focus on them and some light cardio- like the elliptical. It guides your legs instead of you pounding them into a treadmill for an hour.

This evening will be a challenge on the diet I think. Brian's Mom is coming over and wants to drink wine and talk about guys. Wine is not a low cal drink. I don't want to whimp out, but I don't want to erase all the hard work and deprivation either. I got a lot of yummy low cal snacks. We found some little cups of sherbert at the store that are only 90 calories each. My list of delicious low cal snacks has really added up. I think I can make a lifestyle out of this.

Mom keep walking in that sand. Imagine how it will feel when you reach an oasis. We should all work out together one of these days. Dad mentioned coming down to fix our dryer soon so maybe we can do salads and track work out then? We should all get together and take a group pic for our diary.

Keep it up! (even though it takes forever) Leah, get ready to work out with your new clip on headphones! Yayyy.
