Life is rough right now. I feel like the only constant focus I can keep is on my diet and workout plan. So I guess when life was okay I could pig out. Why does it have to be one or the other all the time? Will everything be consistently good, running smoothly. All I want is a job and a good body. I'm willing to work for both.
Last night we didn't start our workout until about 11 p.m. Crazy! I went to the grocery store and stocked up on great foods for the month. I got skim milk, turkey hot dogs, whole wheat hot dog buns, no sugar added whole wheat bread, whole wheat wraps, fat free sandwich cheese, lo sodium soups, south beach diet nuts, lo cal cinnamon raisin bread, special k smart cerial cinnamon and pecans, smart start butter stuff, eggs, onion, bananas, 100 calorie snacks... and more. I even got stuff to make healthy nachos- whole wheat chips, fat free cheese and black beans. Today I packed at lean cuisine for dinner, some nuts and a snack pack for my afternoon snack and some gum to chew at work tonight so I don't snack on pickles and crutons. Distracting my mouth is the only way to fight calories working in a restaurant.
The dieting is going well- the workouts too. I did a JM workout video on Exercize on Demand on my day off tuesday. And I did a Bob cardio video. Both were great! I have Friday and Saturday off from Making the cut, too. So Leah and I are going to do the On Demand workouts those days to keep in the swing of things. It's hard NOT to work out these days. I feel like a slum if I don't get some sweat and muscle strain every day. I look forward to workouts.
BUT I still want macoroni and cheese. And in spite of Leah's tip, I will reward myself with Mac n' cheese when I lose 8.5 more pounds. I'm sorry, food DOES motivate me. It DOES make me feel happy. Okay, let's compromise. I will look up a healthiER version of mac n' cheese than I had in mind... I'm bending here.
Another late workout tonight, sadly. They make me so tired but that means I sleep like a baby when my head does hit the pillow. Leah you're lucky you get to take a nap. Linds is joining us tonight, too. We'll all be yawning on each other as we do our squats. But dang it's gonna feel goooooooooooooood. By the way day 9 workout is my least favorite so far... knee hugs, plank-ups. My scab broke open again last night with the leg raises and plank ups, it's all pussy and red. YUCK! Thank goodness we're not doing that one again tonight.
Mom where's your blog? See my comment? Stay alive, basically. We'll be there Sunday to motivate you. I have the night off Sunday so I'll motivate you all evening :) Maybe we can cook a fun, healthy dinner? Strawberries with Splenda for a snack ... mmmm. Now I want my snack but can't have it for a couple more hours. Call u later!
