Why, hello again Jillian...

Day 8

Ok so I haven't done Jillian Michaels since Friday (Saturday I did the bodyrock.tv instead and Sunday was supposed to be my rest day). How is it that I have been doing 6 days of her intensity and it seems harder today? Taking a break from her really sets me back I think even though I was doing other forms of exercising, either that or my body is just tired from 7 days of exercising. I wasn't sure how I would fit in a work out today with the boys home again today for the long weekend but Evan had to do a dump run and took ALL the kids with him so I was home alone for like an hour and a half. I wasted no time and got right to it.

I have to admit I am getting a little intimidated because I want to do 10 days of Level 1, then progress to 10 days of Level 2, then finally 10 days of Level 3. I have 4 more days on Level 1 before I move up to harder movements. Scary stuff!

Getting a bit amped to start the lane swimming exercising too beginning this Wednesday. 1 hour of lane swimming Monday's and Wednesday's. Am I going to die or what? Maybe not but I sure will feel like it! I know it sounds bizarre but I am somewhat getting addicted to pushing myself through these work outs. I can't really describe the emotion attached to it.
During the work out I want nothing more than to turn it off and walk away back to my old lifestyle, but I don't! The way I feel afterwards is just .... amazing. I feel so proud of myself, so accomplished so good about this life change!

Today I was back to eating healthy. I was tempted to eat an apple or blueberry muffin for breakfast but pushed past it and had a bowl of Shredded Wheat & Bran cereal. That stuff is bland! I sprinkled a tiny bit of brown sugar on the top, not much as I couldn't even taste it. I also had a banana with it.
For lunch I had a tuna wrap and an apple.
For supper we are undecided. My nutritionist gave me a recipe for spaghetti with some sort of home made asparagus sauce, so I might try that since I need to freeze more supper stuff for P anyway.

Well that's my day. Work out is done and I can enjoy the rest of the day without dreading more exercising... until tomorrow! Just got to keep pushing through.
