Today was an interesting day. I had a hard time getting up to workout as I had a very bad headache. I blame the rainy weather. I finally did get up but it was too late to workout. I had a good breakfast, and took some pain killers which helped a lot. I packed my lunch, very healthy stuff, and got ready for the day.
I was not so good at work, I ended up getting a BLT, even though I shouldn't have! I was so hungry. Does working out (even if I missed this morning's workout) make you want to eat more? I hope that's temporary because it'll kind of defeat the purpose! I also ended up getting an extra coffee (with sugar and cream!) So I ended up trashing the day. To cap it off I stopped at Burger King to get supper on my way home. And then got sick after eating it... So maybe that doesn't count?
I did just finish a workout though. And went for a walk after dinner. It was very hot and humid so the walk wasn't as far as I would have liked, but it was decent and the dog enjoyed it. He is now hiding in his crate because there was some thunder an hour ago... Any way. I did Kathy Smith Timesaver Lift Weights to Lose Weight Lower Body workout. 20 minutes, very efficient and it felt good. I'm still a bit sore from the other day, and am hoping that gets better over time.
I am wishing I had the time to do Slim in 6. That is a workout I know works, but it's an hour long and I don't have an hour straight. I'm wondering if I can split the workouts, do half in the morning and the rest after baby goes to bed. I might look at them closer and see if it would work. I don't think they'll be as effective that way but at least I'd be doing the ones I like, you know what I mean? Right now I am just trying basically all of my videos trying to find something I really like... and it's not going that well! I know there are a lot more workouts out there but I am also trying to save some money.
One funny thing I noticed after today's workout, I like beachbody workouts because they have the countdown timer that shows how much time is left in the section, and in the workout... very handy!
Tomorrow is another day, hopefully I do well. Though it is Friday, and that's usually breakfast day at work... which means bacon day... mmm bacon.

Day One
Well I didn't get off to a great start. I blame the f'ing neighbours who were having a party from 3 to 4am... I had a hard time getting up this morning to do a workout. I did take my food to work, and had a pretty healthy day food wise, though I got a tea with sugar which I shouldn't have done but I needed some pep! We went for a walk after dinner, about 30 minutes to do 3k, which isn't the best but could be worse, and it's hard with a baby in stroller and a dog whose an idiot that barks and tries to attack other dogs. Makes for a fun time! No excuse but I also had a hard time with my tummy after all the veggies, beans and fiber today... good thing we were outside :-)
I just did Project You: Lower Body & Abs... ouchie!! My abs are going to feel that tomorrow for sure. My legs are sore too. It's funny how I used to love weight training because I found it easier than cardio, and now I'm thinking I like cardio better! Crazy. But at least I did the workout today. I feel good about that. I didn't use weights today, but feel I can for some of the moves next time, this was more a refresher to review the workout so I know the moves.
I've got my lunch made up for tomorrow too, breakfast will be the only thing left to chance. Really it's two choices, and both are good so either will do, just depends how much time I have. I really want to get up and do the upper body workout in the morning. I suspect the extra ab work will kill me but I know abs are one of those muscles that can get a good workout everyday.
Now to drink some more water (and hopefully not too much so I don't have to pee all night!) and maybe have a bit of protein so my muscles can recover. Feels silly to do that after a relatively easy workout, I mean compared to what a lot of people do this was easy. But I think it still works!
