Finding my Motivation

So I got up this morning and had the usual conversation in my head about whether I should work out or not. I got up headed for the computer and the first site I went to was 3 fat chicks and happened upon a thread about all the things people could do now that they had lost weight. I remember those days and I want them back. I was convincing myself 15 min WATP was enough since I plan to do a big workout tomorrow. I think I'm bored with my DVDs so I got on my cable box which I think I pay way too much money for and browsed excercise TV. I did kendall hogan. I watched about 5 min of it to make sure it wasn't too extreme and jumped in Kendal is a beast...lol. It was mostly low impact and lots of choreography. I probably would have turned it off, but I said I am going to do this. By 10 min I was sweating, but Kendall is perky with out being annoying and by the end of it I had done the 30 min without even noticing.

I will say for the moves I couldn't do or went to quickly for me I either modified it for myself or walked in place till I could catch up. Proud of myself that I didn't give up.

I'll be looking for more of Kendall

I also have been looking for a new weight workout. I found one, but it is 40 min and it looks painful we'll see. Wish me luck.

I cooked a bunch of stuff last night, so I should be good for food this week. something else for the most part it is all organic, meaning I didn't use any additives. Other than spices and herbs there are not added chemicals or corn syrup whatever.

Feeling Good.

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...
