makeup day.. its gonna hurt

day three. the headaches are still here from the blasted diet coke. some one help me. i did cut back on my breakfast which was good. i had about a cup of cheerios. it was good. today i had a half day at work and i went and got the pups and met my hubs for lunch. he wanted wendy's. i know fast food. argh. so i decided to weigh the options and use my spark people app to see the items that had the least amount of fat and semi good for me. i decided the chicken sandwich and a fruit punch. it wasn't all that bad. after lunch i took the pups home and we relaxed for a while and played for a while. before i knew it, it was gym time. 

trainer day.

my trainer had warned us at the last session that it was going to be hard and tough because one of the girls missed and we needed to make up for it. i was scared. got there and this is how it went down..

abs

{boxers, russian twists, leg lifts, planks, dead cockroach and repeat 3 times}

.. stomach muscles are screaming and steam is coming off of them due to the burn..

circuit #1

{squats with bar, pop overhead lifts, leg lifts, and push ups repeat 2 times }

.. my arms are just laughing at me, ha! you think we are going to work today, ha ha! ..

circuit #2

{squats with bar, rows with bar, chest presses, jump squats repeat 2 times}

.. yep arms continue to rebel..

circuit #3

{ jump pull ups, rows on squat machine, in and outs on bench, push ups repeat 3 times}

.. arms are seriously pissed at this point, there might be no hope..

circuit #4

{ calf raises, leg curls, leg extensions and single leg jump squats repeat 3 times }

.. legs something i can handle..

i was beat afterwards. like kill me now. and don't you worry i did it with loads of sassafras and gave my trainer the hardest time i could cause, well i can and it makes the session pass quicker plus it is just plain fun. all i wanted to do was sleep or lay down, but i knew i had dinner to make and dogs to bathe and just life to take care of. so i was off. we opted for steak burritos. i cooked a top sirloin steak in olive oil with a tad of salt and pepper. we had this on flour tortillas, with pico, olives, cotija cheese, cilantro and tomatillo dressing. delicious! my body started to rebel at this point. due to the fact that i have an injury in my shoulder, called TOS.. i talked about it here, my arm quite often hurts more than normal. like kills. today was no acception. in fact today, on top of the arm ripping pain, my arm decided it would take its dose of earthquake pills. so my arm shook uncontrollably the rest of the night. try eating a burrito with an earthquake in your hand. yep messy and not cool. thanks arm. 

we finished up the day with bathing the dog and cleaning up. bed is looking great right now. 

 i have a feeling tomorrow is going to hurt. 

my achey achey.. body

well i survived the night and made it into day two. i do have to say though i haven't been this sore in a really long time which i guess could be good, but i am thinking it might be bad. i woke up feeling like i could barely get up to walk around and get into the shower. it hurt to lift my arms to brush my teeth. this is going to be a long day coming. 

day two without diet coke. day one was pretty smooth i thought, hey maybe it is so smooth cause it is a diet drink. guess again. today i had the head splitting headaches and the nasty stomach ache and the cranky attitude to go along with it. blah. pretty sure the hubs was irritated with me by the end of the day. why do soft drink companies make that stuff so addicting, that when you do quit that you feel like you are coming down off of like cocaine or something. the withdrawls are horrid. 

i can't get a workout in today. dang it. not that my muscles are upset with that news, pretty sure they just did a party when they found out i wasn't going to push them beyond insanity. yep a little muscle mixer where they all hang out around the punch bowl discussing how they may hurt me if i push them today. i think it might be in the cards to just not push my luck. i have work until 5 and i have a meeting at 6 for the youth group i am in charge of in my church. i am in charge of the 16-18 year old girls. they are a blast, but it takes a lot of planning to get things done. so tonight is one of those long hall meetings to figure out the next two months of activities. 

as for food today, i have been doing good on the less sugar thing. i am actually impressed. i had dry cereal for breakfast, honey nut scooters - woot woot! and then drank my body weight in water, i had to pee so bad all day to day. then lunch was chicken and a few chips. i could have done without the chips, but they sounded good at the time. dinner was at the meeting, she did a potato bar. it was good. i got protein in with chicken and then loaded up the veggies and steered clear of the sour cream. all in all good. 

i felt like today was stressful and busy. i need to start trying to find some balance in my life so i can make time for workouts even on the busy days. well, i am off to bed, hopefully to get some good rest since that helps my muscles just chill their crazy little brains. tomorrow will be a fun one, full day of work and then trainer night. he warned us that tomorrows session will be hard that we are going to go after it, not a good sign. those muscles better rest up and eat their wheaties. 

. gird your loins .

well today wasn't as bad as i half expected it to be. i decided after talking with my trainer and thinking about my weight loss that i really wanted to start being healthier. choosing better foods and making good choices. so i decided, to quit diet coke. 

um what??!

*side note, i have quit soda once before. i did a challenge with my hubs and his mom. she was going to quit smoking, i was going to give up soda (i had a addiction to dr. pepper at the time) and my hubs was going to do p90x. i lasted 7 months. i was impressed with myself, i felt like i was going to die after about 2 weeks. puke. 

so.. with this little thought in mind, i started to kind of panic. how was i going to deal with the caffeine withdrawals the killer head splitting migraines and the constant feel of i am going to fall asleep at that exact point. blast this stupid goal setting. so, i just did it. today was day one. i did pretty well. i wasn't too tired, well more than normal. i didn't get a headache all day, i don't know what angel was hovering over that one. i actually felt good. i didn't feel like i weighed 400 pounds after a can. maybe, just maybe this won't be so bad. 

today was also trainer day. 

he took on a new 'client'. she is lame. we all work out in a group. you heard me a group. there are 5 of us girls who go together at once. the new 'client' won't come with group, i call her antisocial. my trainer just laughs. so since antisocial won't come with the group, she gets her own sparkly session and she wanted it right when we used to come.. 5:30. brat is what i should call her. so since i have to adjust for ms. brat, we come a half hour later. this half hour, is not a good thing, let me tell you. i get home from work around 5:15 and all i want to do is plop my bum on the couch and take a nap or something, which now i can do since i don't have to be there until 6. it makes me tired, unmotivated and just plain 'sassafras'. so, me post nap and unmotivated picked my spandexed self up off the couch and drove the 2 miles to the  gym and walked in late, by like 2 minutes. my trainer gave me 'tude. it was on. every time he mentioned an exercise i would either have a comment or a look for him. it actually was kind of fun. try it. but really don't try it, with a trainer. every 'sassafras' comment i made equaled more pain, either in reps or exercises. shoot me. so it just made me want to do it more. eat it. so after a painful hour we wrapped up. i was pooped and already sore, not a good sign for days to come. blast.

dinner tonight was fun. the hubs and i opted for breakfast for dinner. we had eggs and pancakes. homemade pancakes, all about the clean cooking. 

if i make it to tomorrow you will know. maybe.
