So today was a struggle to say the least, totally and completely sore! Can barely walk and I would just rather stretch for the whole day. Decided to do some yoga today. Took a class in college and LOVED it! You really should try it if you haven't. It gets your body moving and your heart rate up. It definitely helped my sore muscles feel some blood run through them. I also ate LOTS of veggies today, salads and carrots mostly, but even though it's only day 3 I feel good. Usually after a meal or a snack I feel so bloated all the time and every time. I feel like I can fit into my jeans when I'm not bloated and right now I feel I could fit into a size 2. It's definitely a great feeling that I want to keep.
Today I also looked at other exercise routines, I have the Xbox 360 with Kinect. I have the game Dance Central and let me tell you, you sweat! Don't believe those commercials where the girls and guys are in their part outfits just casually dancing to Usher, all lies. Every time I've played I've broken out in a sweat. So I want to get back into that game as well and I also have Kinect Sports Season 1. The most strenuous game on that one is track. Running in place can take a lot out of you! I do still want to keep with P90X but it's a definite struggle to pop in that DVD so as long as I am doing something everyday then I can't hate on myself for that. There are also other fitness games I would like to try. Are there still stores out there that you can rent video games? I hope so! Maybe I'll give the Micheal Jackson Experience a try or Zumba. I heard Zumba is a great way to move. My friend Kristin was really into it in the fall, so maybe I can give that a try. You should try other things to see what you like and don't like, so you can get a routine down.
After 3 days I want cheese. I want cheese so badly it's insane! I'm trying to limit myself to just a sandwich slice if needed but I miss cheese. But I have not had a headache yet and I have known for a while that is the reason so I just have to keep going with that to be healthy. I am looking at my diet book and some of the things in there I definitely don't want to eat. Kale, leeks? Sounds absolutely god awful. I know they're good for you but wouldn't you rather have needles being poked at you than eat leeks, whatever that is. But the book also says to never let yourself get extremely hungry that you're eating anything and everything in sight. I feel I do this a lot. Then I just end up eating whatever I can find, I need to learn to not do that, because it's definitely happened more times than I can count.
But over all this has really been a motivator for myself and I hope for other people! I wanted to thank you for all the love and support that I have gotten over the last couple of days and I don't want this to end! This is only day 3 but I feel I can keep this up for real this time. This blog has really been a motivator and I really appreciate it from all my friends and family! So get out there and try something new! And then tell me!
try cooking kale in a pan over the stove with a little bit of soy sauce on it. then, let it cook until it's a LITTLE wilted. it doesn't sound great, but with pork chops and mashed potatoes, it makes a great green addition to a meal!!
