I did my first kettle bell workout today. Yikes! It was a great workout! I didn't feel clumsy, I didn't feel intimidated, and I got a great workout! I did it with a regular dumb bell, which was fine, they showed someone usuing one in the video. I do think that I need to get an 8 pound weight for it, which is something I have been considering getting for other workouts. I love Jillian Michaels, and the work out was her 30 Shred Weights.
I realized something today. I was feeling yucky, and tired, and generally kind of blah. Joce had a Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Pop Tart today. She ate one, so one was left in the package. I decided that I wanted to eat the other one. Who cares if I have one Pop Tart? What will it hurt? I was going to have it after my work out. If I did my work out. Yeah, it wasn't a great morning. So, I did motivate myself to do my workout, and I was starving after my shower. I felt so good after that work out, I didn't want to ruin it with a Pop Tart. Doing my work out has a positive effect on my entire day. I have to keep pushing myself, and the more I do it, the easier it will become to make the time for it. I am so proud of myself. It would be so easy for me to quit. To start eating badly again. But, I keep going, even when I slip up, and that is a big step for me.
On the slip up front, being at my moms was not good for my diet. I wasn't there 5 minutes before I mindlessly ate an Almond Joy. I didn't even think about it, just put it in my mouth and ate it.Why do I do this every time I am at my moms?!? I think it is habit. When I was younger, I used to smoke. A lot. I did not tell my family about it for years. When I would go home for a weekend, I would eat constantly, because I couldn't smoke. I thin that it is so ingrained in me that I can't stop it because I don't even realize that I am doing it. I am spending 3 days at her house next week, so I am going to have to be hyper-vigilant about what I am eating. I want to keep going forward, not trip myself up.
