Yes, I used to POUR sugar aaaall over my Cherio's.
Yes, It's a miracle I don't weigh 200 pounds, I know.
I'm trying to eat something "raw" with every meal now. Still learning how eating raw is better for your body, more on that in another post.
I also try to drink cold water with every meal b/c it helps you burn more calories as the body has to warm up the water before using it- who knew! Plus, our bodies are made up of mostly water to begin with, so it's good for you either way.
Hannah made some oatmeal- and I just had to have some! I adore all things with butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Well this smelled heavenly! It had nutmeg and cinnamon in it, a TBL of sugar but we split it, but is still better for you! I also had some Kiwi to hold me over until dinner.
Afterwards I cleaned my room REALLY fast because the electrician was (supposed to anyway) going to be in there.
I did some computer work to earn a little extra cash, and other stuff. But now a whole lot.
Hannah and I did our work out this afternoon- Jillian's DVD 30 Days To Shred.
Very intense as far as cardio goes but it didn't work my muscles as hard as the other DVD did. Good thing is, I don't get as sore as I did the first couple of time which is amazing. (note, the next morning after this post, the 8th, my legs and upper back were sore)
We've decided to do 3 day increments-
- Day one Jillian's No More Trouble Zones
- Day two jog on the trail
- Day three Jillian's 30 Days To Shred
That way we work on our troubles zones and get some cardio in, all without it getting too monotonous.
For dinner we had grilled chicken, cut up baked yellow potatoes (a little salt/pepper, no butter added) and salad.
It had spinach, peppers, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, sprouts, avocado, dried cranberries, granny smith apples and almonds. Those of you who know what a picky eater I used to be are most likely having a heart attack. Please, just don't send me your medical bills! ;-D
There was also corn on the cob- which I only had about an inch of. Yes, an inch, lol. But it tasted good and I felt better about having a small bite instead of a whole cob.
I will admit to this being my cheating day- but only because I was forced! Ooookay, not really but you get my point!
Hannah and her friend Becca invited me to the movies and they INSISTED that I have some popcorn.
I was told that the little bit of corn I had and the potatoes didn't count as a cheat...... And then I had a couple of MnMs....sadly it gets worse! My in-laws took us out to eat at the Waffle House (can you believe I've never been there before? at least I'm pretty sure I haven't...)
I had an egg, sausage and cheese roll up and a bite of Hannah's waffle (you know, just so I can say I've had a Waffle House Waffle.... not b/c it looked amazing covered in syrup and a little butter ;-p see, now you can come back down from that heart attack you were having before, right? haha)
Well, all in all I'm ok with today. But no more cheating for a while! This isn't a diet, but it is a lifestyle change.That means no more eating crappy food all the time.
My metabolism is slowing down & I really don't want to put on anymore weight. I want a great body, and I want to treat it right. I've felt great these past 6 days and I'm really starting to enjoy it. Maybe not in the midst of Jillian telling me "ok, no break, another set of donkey kicks!" but the feeling afterwards and how I feel throughout the day is worth it.
I need to remember to post pictures later (salad, body, DVD's, trail, picture of "it's not a diet, it's a life style, etc.) and recipes of foods I'll be making. This part is basically just a reminder for me, lol.
I'll keep posting, now that I have a reader/encourager! Thanks MaKenna!!!!
(yes, encourager is not a word but I'm using it!)
