Well, so this post will start on the path of TMI, but it all has to do with this process, so...reader beware!!!
The past couple of days I have felt so bloated (as I have previously stated)! I started thinking today, and I have figured out some of it...I have not had a "movement" since Monday! I'm tearing up some salads, fruit, and high fiber foods...but nothing is moving! Someone mentioned that it may have something to do with all of the protein that I am eating...which is definitely a possibility. I'm liable to lose 5 pounds when it finally comes (I'll take it however I can get it!). This bloat has really killed my motivation. Once we start the DVD, I'm good to go, but every night I'm thinking, "I really don't want to!!"
I'm sure part of today's lack of motivation had to do with the snowfall! As a school employee in Tennessee, whenever white stuff falls, I get excited and (as my mother would say) "I ain't worth killin." So we've just been watching the snow fall and I've been posing the question to everyone..."Do you think we'll go tomorrow?" Hopefully not, then we'll have a 4 day weekend!!!
As I mentioned yesterday, today's eating pattern was a little different because I couldn't start the day off with my smoothie...I replaced it with a protein bar and was pretty surprised at how full I was! I had a rice cake with all natural pb for mid-morning, a salad with grilled chicken for lunch, and an apple when I got home. We decided last night that a big fat juicy burger sounded good, so we grilled turkey burgers tonight! Yes, we grilled outside as it was snowing! I'm sure our neighbors wondered about our mental state, but it was worth it. It wasn't quite as good as the burger from "The Depot," but it got the point across. I also had a baked sweet potato, while Brandon ate a baked regular potato. then I still had the munchies so I ate a Special K bar that was chocolate and pretzel. It must be getting close to "that time" because I've been wanting chocolate all day, and that salty sweet Special K bar came pretty close to satisfying me...for only 90 calories!
Tonight's workout was "Cardio Recovery." We've only done this one once, so we didn't really remember what to expect. It was a nice break from the "go as hard as you can as long as you can," but it was definitely still a workout. It does more deep muscle work than the other cardio videos, so my legs feel like jello right now. Tomorrow's workout is one we have only done once as well, so I'm not sure what to expect (maybe I should look back at my previous post on it).
I will leaves this post with hopes that I will get to sleep in in the morning since I am so drained! I feel like I'm not sleeping enough, but by the time we get done working out, shower, cool down, and get in the bed, it is at least 10:00...which is too late for me to go to bed every night! So, here's hoping I get to sleep in!!
