So… I am kind of disappointed in
myself. I woke up this morning and my butt still hurt from pulling a muscle (see
last blog) so I slept through bootcamp. I know slap my hand.
I went to Daily Burn tonight and I
just didn’t do well at it… if that makes any sense to you. I felt like I could
have given it more but just couldn’t muster up the energy. Everything seemed
more difficult than it should have been. It just felt off to me. I think I left
my body back on the couch at home because it just wasn’t into it. Hopefully
tomorrow I can attack the daily burn and just beast mode through it. I will try
and prepare myself better and get more water in and a few more calories in
before the daily burn tomorrow.
A bright spot… When I was running the square and was doing
the rope slams outside I kept watching all the people going into the Mexican
restaurant, a really good Mexican restaurant. I use to be one of those people,
eating myself stuffed with chips and salsa… but instead I was working out. YAY
me, even if it wasn’t my best workout performance at least I was working out
instead of pigging out. Every day I crave chips and salsa and any day I can
beat the cravings I view as a win! And workout on that day double win! But just
wish I could have performed better during that workout.
Well… Let’s be honest it was also that way with coke zero
and chocolate. I use to drink a Coke Zero before I would even get in the shower
in the morning. I would pop that pop tab and ahhhhhh those bubbles would just
hit the spot. I would 2-4 Coke Zero’s a day. And it wouldn’t be uncommon for my
“breakfast” to involve something with chocolate. We would have candy left over
from conference and trade shows and yep I would have a few throughout the day. I
would crave I mean crave chocolate and just a bite would make me so happy. Chocolate
was never too much. I could eat chocolate on chocolate on chocolate dipped in
chocolate.
In the last few weeks I have given up soda! Huge
accomplishment for me!!! OMG those headaches are something straight out of a
scary movie! I even looked at caffeine patches like the nicotine patches
smokers use. But I didn’t use them but they do exist. After I got through the
headaches and withdraw from the caffeine I have been so scared to have even a
drop of it and risk the chance of having to go through that painful process
again. Chocolate is now out of the office and I have it on a rare occasion. I
am good with the caffeine addition but chocolate still should not be in the house!
Hopefully my chip and salsa and chocolate cravings will be broken soon :). Each day I workout and avoid my trigger foods I get a step closer to replacing those cravings for food with cravings for working out.
