Two good days, let's shoot for 3!

Yesterday was another good day!  I weighed in at 204 even today.  I did a new work out yesterday, Tank Top Arms with Cindy Whitmarsh.  She is a beast!  My arms, shoulders, and core are nice and sore today!  I liked the work out, and I am going to look at some more of her work outs. 

I was emotional again yesterday, but I did not let it derail my diet.  Something I was thinking about yesterday was that I am never going to be able to eat like a "normal person" again.  Now, here is where I get into trouble.  I have to redefine normal for my life.  I made Eric egg salad to take in his lunches this week, and I really wanted to have one, too.  I had a Slim Fast.  I am never going to be able to eat "anything I want."  I am always going to have to watch what I am eating.  I have to realize that having sandwiches for lunch is probably going to be the exception, and not the norm.  And that is okay, since indulging all the time is how I had to come to this realization.  Something Cindy Whitmarsh said in the course of the work out struck me as interesting.  I can't remember it word for word, but basically she said that building muscle boosts overall metabolism, and will help burn more calories when you are at rest.  I have to make my body a more efficient machine, and diet and exercise are the way to do that. 

I am optimistic for today.  Let's keep the good days going!
