Day 64

I hope these good days just keep coming! I know it's all under my control, but still, some days are much more difficult than others. I worked out today, and it was probably the hardest crossfit session I've had thus far. It was only a half hour (as the others have been), but it was a super-intense half hour. I was sweating like crazy, face was red and my limbs felt like jello! I loved it! Well, not AS I was doing it, but afterwards I felt great! I really pushed myself and did everything Rob asked of me...there was one exercise that was near impossible for me...but I powered through it and did it anyway. I hated it! The end result is worth it but my god it was tough...I can't even begin to explain it either...picture yourself in pushup position, arms locked. now envision that one of those arms, still locked, is actually palm-down on a sturdy kettlebell which is a few inches off the floor, so that your body is now on an incline being supported by one arm. Then take the other arm, grab a kettlebell and "row" it towards your body. See? Can't even explain it but it was ridiculous. ROUGH. Loved it afterward haha. Really felt like I accomplished something. Totally worth the 1 hr drive haha. I mean it's down by the shore anyways so as soon as it starts getting nice out I'm going for walks on the beach by myself! It will be so peaceful :-)

Anyway, here is what I ate today:

Breakfast:

-TJ's whole wheat blueberry waffles
-1/4c sugar-free syrup
-1/4c blueberries
*Waffles were delicious...but it's funny how "all-natural" waffles just turn into of piles of mush when you add syrup. I guess all the chemicals in eggo waffles is what keeps them in the shape of, well, waffles as you eat them!
-1/2c almond milk
*I sadly drank the last 1/2c in the container because my dad thinks it's cool to eat and drink the shit I buy for myself :-(

Lunch:

-1 2oz piece of chicken with 1tbsp TJs bbq sauce and 1/4c lowfat cheddar cheese
-1 serving of TJ's mashed potatoes
*Love forking the chicken and dipping it in the taters lol

MiniMeal:

-2oz turkey kielbasa on a TJ's whole wheat bun with 1 tbsp deli mustard
*Wanted something filling and substantial after the gym, but 5:30 was too early for me to eat a real dinner so I brought this along with me and ate it in the car right after working out.

Dinner:

-Diner Food: BLT on whole wheat toast, mayo on side (used only a TEASPOON), 1/4c cole slaw and a pickle
-1 small cup chicken soup
*Always delicious

Glad about the choices I made today! Yes, I went to the diner again but I've found that the BLT is my ultimate diner food. It's (mostly) lettuce & tomato, the bread is whole wheat, and while bacon isn't AWESOME it's better than a big burger or a club sandwich loaded with cheese meats and dressings. This time instead of having the mayo slathered on it I asked for it on the side and I only used a TEENY bit. Seriously. I asked for no side but they gave me the cole slaw anyways, but it was in a much smaller container than the diner the other day so I was fine eating it. I had a cup of soup too, and the choices were new england clam chowder or chicken soup...really a difference of a few hundred calories haha so i chose the chicken. I was starving before we got to the diner and as funny as it sounds a meal as "small" as this wouldn't have satisfied me previously...I was used to having a crock of french onion soup followed by a meatball parm sandwhich, fries, slaw, pickle and a few glasses of soda so this is a HUGE step up! Took some pictures of myself today, which I'll be putting side by side for comparison. I'll take a set every 2 months and keep putting them side by side so that by the end of all this I can see my progress over time...I think that would be fun!
