We all SCREAM for ICE CREAM!!!!

 STIFF AS A BOARD:

Yesterday was day one at Studio Red (basically Vasa's version of HIT).  I knew I was in trouble people because immediately afterwards I was already hurting.  I mean, I'm amazed that I could do it honestly.  And I WENT for it man.  FULL GUSTO.  (I have regerts).

They have a pretty good set-up as I mentioned yesterday with the four different stations and an instructor motivating you.  I definitely wanted the music louder but hey, that's no biggie.  I am super glad that I have been to the gym in the past.  It would be pretty hard to walk in there with no experience using weights etc.  Honestly there wasn't anything super difficult in that session, but still I was glad I have had 3 trainers in the past lol and went to the gym thousands of times in the past.  But yeah it had been like FOUR YEARS.

People, words can't describe the PAIN in my ASS right now.  GD squats.  I can't remember the last time I did any of those! 

What is it with getting older?  I mean, I've been sore PLENTY.  Like I said, I have had trainers 3 different times in my life.  I know that burn, that feeling of soreness.  THIS IS WORSE.  How can that be???

But I will not let it stop me.  Now I am not physically capable of doing Studio Red today but that is okay.  I will still be active today and exercise, it will just be something else.  I WILL DO THIS.  I am getting in shape damnit.  Come hell or high water.

WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM:

Ok people, I am a dumbass.  Who screws up on DAY ONE?  This girl.  Sheesh!  So over the weekend we had a movie day with treats.  I had a Chunky Monkey ice cream that I never finished over my birthday weekend.

And yesterday I had been so good.  My meals were SPOT on.  Almost no carbs (they kill me) and tons of PROTEIN (I have to have LOTS due to my duodenal switch surgery).

And I am with my two boys all day.  There is SO much opportunity for being bad.  But I was EXCELLENT.  I had fruits and veg.  So much protein.  Even snacks were awesome instead of getting chocolate or candy.  

Dinner I had made fresh vegetables, grilled chicken and only had one spoon of the rice.  

SO WHY DID I FINISH OFF MY ICE CREAM LATER THAT NIGHT?:

Ugh.  And I seriously paid for it.  When I have too many carbs with my surgery, I really pay for it.  In the bathroom kind of pain like you don't want to know about lol.

But, no more excuses.  It is a new day and all I can do is do better.  Life is full of challenges.  It is up to YOU for how you handle it.

To me, it isn't really realistic to eat like a trainer has you eat (only chicken, veggies and eggs etc ALL the time).

TODAY:  WHATS THE PLAN STAN?:

-HIGH PROTEIN, Low carbs

-Get moving - do a workout

-Be active with the boys (play outside, go for a walk)

-Have fun and be happy!!!!  

WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE.  WE HAVE TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT
