Today was a pretty great day!! Since I have posted my blog I have received numerous messages full of support and encouragement. Whenever you do something like this it's always great to have a group of wonderful supporters behind you. There will be times when you have to deal with the "Negative Nancy's" but you just have to ignore them and remind yourself why you are doing this in the 1st place. I just want to take the time and thank everyone who is supporting me on my journey, thank you! All of you rock!
Today I worked and then went to my grandma's for our weekly dinner. I stayed on my diet all day except at her house because you can't tell grandma no. Even though her tenderloins were fried I just had a small portion and kept my side dishes small as well. I don't feel like I failed because I was able to stay under my calorie goal today. Sometimes you have to modify your diet, just make sure if it's unhealthy you only eat a small portion, instead of gorging yourself full of high calorie foods.
Once I got home from dinner, I did my T-25 Day 3 of the 5 day fast track workout which was the Speed 1.0. Since that was the same workout as yesterday, it was a lot easier because I caught on to the moves quicker. I was able to concentrate more on my core. I kept forgetting to keep my core tight though, which is hard to do when you 1st start out because your attention is more on getting the moves down right. My legs were killing me today, but even though they hurt I didn't baby them, instead I walked through the pain. Once I started the workout my legs didn't hurt at all because they were warmed up from the moves. I have decided that when they start hurting I will run in place to warm up my muscles and then stretch it out and see if that helps any. It's only day 3 and I can already feel my calf muscle getting a lot stronger. I was able to do more of the "hard core" moves then having to do the "modified" moves in the workout today. I was pretty proud of myself. The kids started out doing the workout with me but then got tired. My kids kept me motivated by cheering me on. My son had to add his own flare to my workout by shooting nerf darts at me with his bow, thankfully he doesn't have very good aim, but it kept the workout interesting. He told me he was helping me train for my Zombie Run in August.
*I am starting off my workouts and meals by doing the 5 Day Fast Track that came with my workout order. I have had to modify some of the meals because I have had trouble finding all the ingredients at my local store. Since this is a meal plan they lay out, I'm pretty sure I can't list it exactly or I would get in trouble. So I wont post the measurements I will just post what I ate.*
