Day 2

So it's Day 2 and I have a confession to make. Yes, already. I didn't do my workout yesterday. Mondays and Wednesdays are going to be the hardest days for me to squeeze in my workouts. Oh, and it's going to be hard to find time to exercise on Fridays and Saturdays too. So the next 88 days should be interesting.

But I'm committed. I am. I did both Day 1 and Day 2 workouts today. That kind of sucked. Since I'm way out of shape, and I knew that I had to do two days worth of workouts, I only did the minimum number of reps suggested for each exercise. Still, it sucked so much that it was a very good incentive to not have to do that again.

I was downtown this morning anyway so I did my workout at my gym. It was kind of nice not to go anywhere near the cardio area. I found a space where I could jump and do the other exercises and just went at it. I was surprised to find out that the exercise I found the most difficult were the lunges. Ugh, they hurt! The jumping proved frustrating and my jumping progress looked very much like a bell curve -- I didn't do so good at the beginning, got better in the middle, the I was getting tired and not doing very well at the end. And I never got through an entire set of 50 jumps without stopping at least twice. But there were a couple of times where I put together 25 or more jumps. I can't wait until the day where I do 50 jumps without tripping!

I'm not sure if I like the food plan this week. Eat half. Half of what? I just eat whatever I want and whenever I want. However, I am trying to eat less. And I'm hungry. I've spent a lot of time thinking about food. Mostly chocolate cake. I hope this passes...

  1. Hey Pam, this first week and the next 88 days will be very tough, but one day at a time should do for now. Stay Strong! Stay mindful.

  3. Pam,

    Way to go!

    Find a way to be in the day! Then find a way to be in the moment.

    Enjoy the Day,

    Watson

  4. Just look that cake straight in the frosting and tell it to go f*ck itself, cause you refuse to be controlled by some baked confectionary -- you are your own woman, in control of your life!
    Also smothering it in something truly unappealing like mustard might help kill the desire to eat it.
    But seriously I have found that snacking on hard foods, especially veggies, is a good way to get the brained refocused -- crunching through a thich carrot takes serious jaw-work and once you've put down a whole carrot, you're not even thinking about that cake.
