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!
