Holy-Plyo! Tonight was tough. I don't remember it being this hard last week. I didn't have the energy or focus when it started and had an internal battle about turning it off, but after the first round I relaxed and really started to enjoy it. I just "did my best, and forgot the rest." I feel so much better for actually completing the workout. It was tough, but isn't that what this is all about? Getting out there and changing old habits. Old habits are what got me here in the first place.
Today, for me, really was all about internal battles. I had some serious cravings this evening for pizza. Football was on, it was cold out, I was feeling lazy and just didn't want to cook - even though I'd put chicken in the fridge to thaw. I did some digging around in the cupboard and told myself I can do better then take-out and the calories I would have to deal with from it. I rubbed the chicken in a spicy chipolte mix, grilled it on my foreman (I'm 100 times better at chicken then salmon!!!), put rice on the stove, threw veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms) into a skillet with some olive oil, then piled it all into a low fat, low carb tortilla. It was so yummy I wanted 2 (but only ate 1). Of course as I was eating it I thought it would've been better if I'd grilled the tortilla too - now that I'm not so good at, my hubby is a pro at it though, but he's not here right now.
Tomorrow is shoulders and arms and it should be interesting...my back is a little tight from yesterday still. Hopefully by tomorrow night I'll be feeling better. I went ahead and ordered the recovery drink mix today. It should be here by week 3. They offer a 30 day money back guarantee, so why not.
Tomorrow I'm going to focus on getting my head straight and "bringing it!"
