Week 3 - Sunday

Yesterday we had a group day, but only three of us were able to be there. Jackie came in early to the gym to get a workout in, but didn't have a babysitter for the 2-4. I sure understand how that goes! I'm really proud of her for making it in when she could. Tori was with her Mom. I was expecting to see Jay, but he didn't make it either. We missed each of them!!!

Dani and Steve sure didn't go easy on Shon, Jamie, and me! We started out doing a walk/run, that I assumed was going to be around the gym. Just kidding! We went half-way around the block and back. One of these days I'm going to be able to sprint that again! :) We made it back to the gym and went outside. Lots of work with the medicine balls, squatting, throwing, sweating. :) We got to flip big tires, which was actually pretty fun. I didn't think it was doing much at the time, but my goodness am I feeling it in my inner thighs and arms today! Finished with duck-duck-goose, and musical medicine balls. It was a fun day and I'm glad I went.

I FINALLY made it to Smoothie King yesterday. I have a multi-vitamin now, my protein powder, and a shaker. Thank you, Tom! I got a Gladiator Fruit Smoothie while I was there, just see what it should take like. It was really good. I got the medium and it took me an hour to finish it, it was so big! I'm really trying to embrace this whole idea of eating more to lose weight. I can't starve my machine! :) Wade says the protein powder will be a good way to get good calories in, especially since I don't eat meat.

Last night I did "cheat" a bit. I had a Kashi Roasted Veggie Pizza. Over the course of about 4 hours I ended up eating the whole pizza (3 servings). So, if you count it as dinner and a snack, not too bad. But, yesterday was the first day I got up to 2000 calories, and it was the pizza and the smoothie that did it. I don't feel good about the pizza. I didn't go over in any of my areas (carbs, proteins, and fats) for the day, but I still feel a little dirty for eating it. :) I'll remember how that feels when I think about doing it again.

I have a lot to do around the house today. I have to let a lot go during the week in order to have time for my workouts. That means it must get taken care of on Saturday and Sunday. So, laundry and house cleaning, here I come!

Oh, my foot is still a little sore today, so I'm going to rest it today. I want to be ready to go tomorrow, and I think a little rest could go a long way.
