Ow

So last week I think I really did a good job of getting the dieting part down.  This week I want to be better at the fitness part.  I really enjoyed the Your Shape game for the Kinect last night.  It was a great 30 minutes of working out and I left off feeling sweaty and rubbery and good.  Last night for supper I had a big bowl of salad with salsa and a cup of baked rotini with mozerella.  Probably not the healthiest choice, but, I kept the portion small.

I figured I would start today off with a bang and I dragged out the Biggest Loser Boot Camp work out video.  I popped it in and 30 minutes later I was sweating and hurting.  The whole work out seemed to be done in a squat or lunge.  I did it holding onto 8 pound arm weights and my upper body was as tired out as my lower body.  They said it was a calorie burning work out and I'm sure it was!

Ways I can see improoving that workout over the next two weeks...I want to get my lunges a lot lower, especially want to work on that on my bad knee.  I want to get some running shoes.  Working out in Crocs is not fun.  I want to work on the push ups and really make sure I am engaging my abs and core through some of the routine.

The rest of my day involved 7 dogs that needed to be groomed.  I can say that after that work out, my clipper felt a whole lot heavier than it is and I could only get 5 of the dogs groomed.  I just was not able to hold my arms up for any longer than that!

After the work out, for break fast I had a fried egg on squirrley bread with a teaspoon of salsa just for a touch of flavor.  Lunch was skipped since breakfast was a little late, but I ended up having two pieces of squirrely bread with a dash of mayo, a slice of tomato and a half slice of cheese for supper.  I find one of the hardest things to resist is what the rest of the family is eating...tonight I ended up having a bit of the whole wheat spagetti with some meat sauce.  It could have very easily fit inside a cup and there was only about 2 tablespoons of sauce and beef on top.

What's squirrely bread?  It's a sprouted whole grain bread made without flour with all organic ingredients.  It's a very yummy alternative to most yucky breads that are filled with glucose fructose.  It is about 100 calories per slice.

I am full and sore and hydrated.  I think I will take the night to lay in bed with a book.
