Day 2

So on day 1, I ate pretty well. I didn't, however, make it to the gym. I'm not going to dwell on that fact, though. Today is a new day.

Breakfast was oatmeal with agave, blueberries, and almonds, and a cup of coffee. Lunch was leftover beef ribs with some potato casserole, and dinner was the same, except I added peas. I logged my meals on my diet tracker, and HO-LY COW! I can not BELIEVE how many calories are in one little beef rib! There's not really a lot of meat on there for 400 calories! My day isn't blown, though, because I've had enough activity to counteract the ribs. I'm glad they're finally all gone. C is a master BBQ-er, and I don't know if I could refrain from eating more ribs tomorrow.

Today's activities consisted of 50 minutes of P90 Fat Burning Express, 25 minutes of a kickboxing video, and 20 minutes of yoga. I'm sad that I'm not going to get a lot of gym time this week, because C has picked up extra work that keeps him gone pretty much from the time he wakes up in the morning to the time he goes to bed at night. And all of my trustworthy babysitters are either working or out of town this week. I'll be glad when my parents get home from their trip tomorrow. Maybe I can get gym time in on Thursday and Friday. Until then, I'll just have to get the proper amount of activity in my living room :-)

Side-note: Tonight I started listening to Jillian Michael's podcast. It's been out for a while, but I started at the beginning. I put it on while I worked out... sometimes listening to other people talk can take my mind off of a difficult task. And, wow! How inspiring! For her first session, she talked about fear and making changes. I've never liked change, but is it possible that I'm so afraid of change that I can't stick with something that will benefit me because it will change me?? I know that I'm comfortable with the life I'm living now, but is the reason I can't change due to the fact that I might be afraid of it? Something to ponder...
