SMALL CHANGES FOR FEBRUARY 3RD
"Bootylicious Buns 2" ...Yes, it was on cable...NO, not THAT kind of cable! It was my choice of 10 minute workout shows! Our cable provider, Insight, has ON DEMAND Excercise TV. I love it! You pick what you want, do what you feel like, and never get bored with the same old workout DVD. (Of course, I NEVER got bored with my workout DVDs because I.....well.....never put them in the DVD player)! And 10 minutes is SO DOABLE! NO EXCUSES!!! Even for 10 minutes, though, it's rough...I didn't know I had such a large vocabulary of bad words! The great thing about it is, too, that you can watch the clock tick down in the upper left corner of the screen...that is what got me through! So, I would have sat on my butt and watch a news show before I showered for the day.....
INSTEAD I worked my buns, thighs, and even my ARMS...they ALL hurt today! How did arms get into that mix? I must say, though...it feels GOOD to hurt!
I had a million and one visits so I was BUSY. Haven't stopped at the grocery store in a while so I haven't gotten fruit for the house. I need to do that soon so I can cut up some fruit and take it with me. I was feeling a hunger pang as I headed to my first visit around 8am. Normally I would have pulled into McDonald's. Sausage biscuit-$1.06......
INSTEAD, I steered my car AWAY from the magnetic field that pulls me into the drive through and pulled into the Kroger parking lot. After heading to the EXPENSIVE prepackaged fruit, I headed to the salad bar to make my OWN expensive, prepackaged fruit. Not having any idea how much it would cost, I chose some strawberries, pineapple, and cantaloupe. It cost me $2.05(about a dollar less than if I didn't do it myself) and it was YUMMY! Once again, it steadied me and made me feel satisfied for awhile. And....if you have not had pineapple in a while.....I FORGOT HOW GOOD IT IS!!!! I don't know if it's the time of year or what, but it was SOOOOO juicy, sweet, and delicious!!! Next time I'm heading in for ALL pineapple!!!
I packed a lunch again(not a habit yet, but working on it) Sandwich and celery. PS-Celery is blecky without cream cheese.
I said I was going to talk about how all of this made me feel. Well, I'm feeling really good about sticking to it for five days. Pathetic, but that's big for me! I must admit, too, that even though I joked about the magnetic pull of the drive-thru to my car, I am feeling the habit break every so slightly. Before I felt like it was my only option. Now I am making myself find other options, therefore swaying myself away from the "not-so-good" choices. If I feel this way only after five days, maybe there is something to all of this! I hope so!
AND...I SWEAR...(oh, yes, we know you swear...especially during a workout video)...PICTURES ARE COMING!!! I'm still trying to decide how much flab and cellulite to show! How's that for a teaser ad? (It will be like a car accident...you want to turn away, but you just can't)!!!
Hubs just arrived home last night so I guess he'll be my photographer. Oh dear!!!! Hall of Shame...here I come!
