I envisioned a day full of all my favorite foods as a last eat what I want day. Not so. I did have an amazing lunch at my favorite Thai place, and my Mom actually made a fantastic corn chowder for dinner so although those both aren't my absolute fav's I enjoyed them none the less.
I spent most of the day thinking about what I was going to cook this week. I was overwhelmed by the vague food instructions. But I adore cooking so it is also a chance for me to explore spices and try some new things.
Day 8 started out a little rough. I have some digestion issues which I think I have nailed down to diet and anxiety. This is another reason the PCP is going to be great for my body (yay for eating better). I had a late night and early morning with an upset stomach which left me feeling not so hot. Choking down the yogurt at breakfast was slightly painful for someone who isn't a huge milk fan. I ended up working from home in my PJ's rather than stay at the office. Unfortunetly the change made me late for morning snack. It is now 7pm and I should eat dinner but I am totally not hungry whatsoever. At least the portions are smaller. I will prep it after this post. The good news is the food is not wierd health food or tiny portions like I imagined. My lunch was amazing, chicken breast with Mediterranean spices, basil, chives, tomato and whole wheat bread YUM!
What a work out!! I officially dispise the bands... I might have to get an easier one, mines a medium? I feel like, because I am so tall it makes the resistance more. I mean there is no way my lack of arm muscle would be the problem ;) Again the 600 jump ropes was stop and go about every 50 or so. I got it done even though it took ten minutes.
I really don't want to put a week one photo up. Letting it all hang out is freaking me out. I know I need to be transparent as possible while doing this but it is a little out of my comfort zone. A little while ago I took the Landmark Forum. I learned that everything we (humans) do is pretty much to not look bad, or to look good. I guess I should just get over it huh?
Ok off to eat more food.... feels weird as I am already so full. Dreading the morning workout. Is it too early for that??
...know what you mean about not wanting to put the photo up. once it's up it's not so bad. I changed outfits a million times and ended up in a bikini!!!!
ReplyDeletei got to thinking, it's like being on a beach. there are so many people on the beach and no one is ever going to zoom in on my muffin top and say, eww- except for the critical part of myself. We're our greatest and harshest critics! Seeing the groups ahead of us, the way everyone supports and encourages each other is amazing! And they all look great at day 90. You will have wished you had a "before" shot up. Maybe you could take the photos and hang on to them, until you feel comfortable posting them. That way, at least you'll have the satisfaction of having a series of comparison shots when you're done.
Once the photos go up, it's all downhill- we're only going to get more fit, so I figured there's nothing to lose! I'm actually thinking I should have started at my heaviest, then at least I will have seen more dramatic shots!
Good luck and have a great day 10!!!
