Day .... Who's counting !!!!

My sister tells me that her Yoga instructor says that if you feel like throwing up that is normal. From a medical point of view: NO IT IS NOT NORMAL. But that's how i feel right now. On the bright side I got more done per set. But the AB program is a killer, I just do the regular ones for the remainder of the time. Eventually, I hope i will be able to go through the entire abs workout.

Today's nutritional side has been good, not at its best. My little shoulder devils are haunting me from time to time. I have to stop giving in to them, but they won't shut up at times. The fight with my inner self is what i have to work on.

My next big challenge is cutting down on salt. No more chips with chocolate, pretzels with honey (maybe just once a month). Felling better now no more nausea, i wonder if it's the fact that I drank water afterwards or the fact that I occupied my time with writting...

MONDAYS

The beginning of any week is a start to a new way of thinking. Everyone has gone through the "I'm starting on Monday blues". That is why I never start any new activity on a Monday. I decided to take the weekend off, the exercise part that is, and focus on better eating habits. I exercised in other ways :)~ Take your mind out of the naughty thoughts, I took the stairs all weekend !!! and walked whenever I could. Even with the unbearable windshield factor.

I found out last night that lasagna is not a BAD FOOD. According to a very reliable source, homemade lasagna has the good fats we need. But like everything moderation is the key to success a wise woman once told me.

I have also adapted to the taste of NutriBars. Peanut butter-chocolate is becoming a hit. How can such a small bar keep you going for hours. Realistically they aren't that good, but when you don't have a choice and you get hungry anything tastes good and paired up with kiwi strawberry crystal light I have found the recipe to success...

Water bottles here I come.....

Day 4, Yoga Time

Yoga Very Very Overrated!!! I don't think I would be able to go through the 90 minute hot Yoga my sister wants me to go to. I get that this flexibility c#@p is good for you and you get more done and you tone up and work out better but is it really necesarry. I guess I can endure 10 minutes of it here and there for now. Who knows maybe I will end up liking it.

Today's eating regime consisted of yogourt that has to be eaten because it expires tomorrow and a handful of raison bran... For dinner it will be my first attempt eating out, I will find out if I am surcome by my weaknesses or just plain human.

Can i drink wine? A glass in moderation. Haven't had a drink in a week and even then it was a light cocktail. So I decided I will have wine... That was easy.

BTW I haven't eaten much today because I woke up at 4 pm... Don't think that I am starving myself, tried the anorexia stuff for a day: lasted 3 hours....

Jesus turned water into wine, therefor it enters in my water count for the day.... Anything to get out of drinking water..

Day 3, 1.5 lbs lighter

So, no Yoga today. But I walked quite abit, that must count for something right? On the bright side I did loose something !! Must be all that water weight stuff people talk about. I told myself that I wasn't going to weight myself often but I couldn't resist the industrial size scale we have at work. For a slight moment I felt i was on the Biggest Looser because of the red lights took so long to reviel my weight.I am a little bit lighter, it's prabably all that water weight people keep talking about... Yes I smerked but not for long. I will have to though adjust my excersize regime to my night shifts.

Does coffee count in my consuption of water, if so then today i surely surpassed my 8 glasses. But since i have not slept when do i count the water I am drinking at the present moment? This so called "Happy Pain" ain't so happy no more, I had totally forgotten how much it hurts.

Friday is apon us, the true challenge of the weekend is casting a cloud over my head. If i can make it through the weekend as scheduled and workout and eat well then I will be on my way to success... For now

Light Day 2

I know we are supposed to have so called "HAPPY PAIN" after a workout but not pain like this. I have not felt like this since, well since never. I always had light soreness, light pain, but today everytime that I breathed I hurt. so i decided to do 1.5 workouts out of three, either way minimum is 1 workout. Can't wait for tomorrows Yoga, only 1 workout tomorrow. Maybe i will add the one I missed today!!!

I decided to go dress shopping today, but not for any regular dress, a bridesmaid dress... Ladies why don't bridal wear sizes compare to regular clothing sizes??? Why is it that we have to go up 2-3 dress sizes so that the ugliest ones can look good???

I told the salesgirl that I am on a diet and working out, you could see the light smirk on her face saying: Like I have never heard that before ... She was nice, a perfect size 4 and pregnant.

I can do this... 4 more glasses to go !!!

The Official Day 1

I don't know whether I am tired or full of energy. That was the most intense workout that I have ever done... Is it possible that I feel lighter or is my optimism blinding me. My sister took part in my first workout with me, she said she didn't have time for the gym and asked if she could join me, i think she did it for support. A little part of me felt good that she wasn't able to do all of it ( I didn't get through it as well ) the lil devil inside me smiled ! ! !

All I have to say is that I am soaked!!!

Good workout, hope to get through this week

P.S I drank more water today, still a long way from eight glasses

Started today !

Just received my package of Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer.... 2 weeks of building up excitement. the measuring tape is included, not so sure i really want to find out some of the measurements. It's a scary thought accepting the fact that you have to loose weight, i always said that I'm OK and i have to do something or giving others advise but never taking my own, even today I didn't have the 8 glasses of water...

So today is day 0, reality will prevail and i will find out all the inches and all the pounds that need to be shed...
