Well..Week 2, Day 2 of Boot Camp went relatively well this morning. I so wish that I was one of those people who loved to work out. The endorphines that are supposed to kick-in...I've always heard about them..and I'd love to have them!! Now, don't get me wrong...when I finish a session at the gym (or boot camp)...I am absolutely THRILLED to be done with it! And..I'm usually in a reasonably good mood...but surely there is something more to the whole release of endorphines than that...right??? For now, I should just make peace with the fact that I have to do this...will most likely always have to do this to some extent. I doubt I will ever love it...or even like it...but if I can just keep makin it through...one day at a time...I will be in a better place this time next month...and then this time next year. So...keep the eye on the prize and hopefully I will stay committed.
I can certainly say that if it wasn't for my group of buddies in the morning, I probably couldn't hang with the boot camp. Knowing that everyone is sorta counting on you really helps you stay on track.
My eating is pretty good today. I have stayed at about 420 cals for breakfast and less than 200 cals for lunch thanks to my friend who is helping us all stay on track by finding healthy recipes, cooking them up so that we can have a good lunch that is low cal. Today was meatloaf and some modified Lipton Soup covered red potatoes. Meatloaf is not typically something I will eat...but I did today. It was pretty good and the potatoes were FABULOUS.
I'm feeling a little puny today so no gym this afternoon. I ran to Care Now at lunch and have a viral infection on the roof of my mouth which is causing me to not really want to eat very much. Also, the beginning signs of strep, although the swab test was negative. The doc wanted to make sure that we caught it if it was coming on, so she put me on antibiotics...and I also received this liquid lidocaine to help with the pain in the roof of my mouth. Who knew they had such a thing as liquid lidocaine??? Amazing.
I am signing off tonight since I'm feeling ill. Stay strong!
<3 Me
