Good morning!
So first my exciting news! My ipod is here!!! Its shiny and red and I have watched so many videos already! I should rephrase that, I have watched so many disturbing videos that I may have to become a vegetarian!! Ignorance is definitely bliss and my happy bubble was popped last night after watching some of the meat videos. I was supposed to bring chicken for lunch and couldnt bring myself to do it....
Last night I had to bike for an hour, it was hard mentally. Physically it was ok, it was just supposed to be an easy spin in the small chain ring, and i think that is why it was tough to stay focused. I tried watching a movie, watching tv, listening to a program, I just couldnt get it.
This morning I was up super early again and went for my 30 min swim. It was so hard! My body is definitely not used to this volume of training! I hopped in and sunk...my legs felt like lead and while swimming laps it felt like I was on a treadmill....going hard but getting no where fast! I finally realized my planned workout was not going to work today so I spent the remaining time working on arm drills. My arms have now been added the growing list of sore muscles! :) AND IT FEELS GREAT! I am so happy to be back at it!
I saw my friend Polly yesterday, she quit her job earlier this year and financially has the ability not to have to work so has instead spent her time working out everyday and changing her diet. She looks AMAZING!! She has lost 21.5lbs and I cant get over how much better she looks! Really makes me feel bad about my weight, there is no excuse...I need to get this weight off! I keep thinking of 20lbs weights and having to carry that extra stuff on every run and swim. Its a health thing now, not just looks. I am going to do it this time.
I am tracking everything in daily plate right now and trying to get a good mix of GOOD carbs (veggies, fruit, whole grains), fats and protein. Todays menu looks like this:
Breakfast - 4:45 am
Mini whole wheat bagel w/ T fat free cream cheese
Morning Snack - 7am
Sugar snap peas, herbal tea, protein shake
Lunch - 11:45am
Going out for Christmas lunch at Vietnamese place. Trying NOT to have bun, maybe a pho soup?
Afternoon Snack - 2pm
2 Turkey bites, Snap peas
Dinner - 5pm
Salad with fat free cesar dressing
Roasted Chickpeas
Evening Snack - 7pm
Pomogranate mmmmmmm
My goal today is also to get ATLEAST two bottles of WATER in (4 cups). Im struggling getting it in and drinking things like diet pepsi and crystal light when thirsty but not water...Today I am going to have a bottle of water with me at all times so I can make a better choice!
