Yay me! Another day down and feeling really good. I even passed up a quick hunger fix via fast food this evening and waited to do a quick snack at home! So proud!
I realized something this morning--well it started last night. As I was reading through the SIX WEEKS TO SKINNY JEANS discussion in its My Fitness Pal group, I saw a trend. There were a lot of discussions of substitutions and such, which made me happy to know that I wasn't the only picky eater--but as COTTA (or her spokesperson, I'm not sure), commented back, her trend was "all we are doing right now is counting calories." That made me think; there was something going on this morning that made me realize I probably wouldn't be able to keep up the diet. It's probably because my stomach was flipping and the idea of the food I was eating throughout the day didn't make me want any of it. THIS IS NOT ME THROWING IN THE TOWEL! I refuse to, especially not on day 2--but I am going to reevaluate how I approach these snacks. I think I will probably approach it with finding general, healthyish foods that I enjoy that can be eaten in a calorie restrictive diet. I definitely feel I will more likely stick with this if I can eat food I enjoy instead of just what is mentioned in the book.
My youngest cat, Thor, decided he wanted to FIRM with me this evening. He's also trying to journal with me right now, but I'm fending him off. As with the last workout, I'm trying to star bits that I think I'm either doing wrong or aren't working for me. If I can't seem to get any benefit from those particular ones, I'll leave them out and double up on something else. FIRM, if you remember, is the floor workout. It's recommended to do the entire workout on one side, and then return and do the other. I did this, and made sure to double up on the three things that had no sides: Glute Raises, Crunches, and Planks (it's a "pretzel" plank, but I just didn't a normal one for now). My lower body is humming and I can already feel the soreness coming on--and my arms were already sore from yesterday.
Tomorrow is the BLAST day and I am dreading it. I'm still going to do it, but if yesterday kicked my butt, I know this one will. But it's all about getting stronger so, while I'm dreading, I'm also looking forward to it. Now to go pack my snacks for tomorrow and get some more reading done (maybe I'll fall asleep again and thus get up at a decent hour).
