Week 2--Day 14 and Week 3-- Day 15

Ahhh my day of rest was fabulous.  I laid around like a lazy lump all day and felt....lazy.  I can't help but feel disgusting now after not working out though! Uh oh! Looks like habits are settling in....good thing they are AWESOME ones.  In case anyone is curious, here is what my daily food consists of.  Breakfast:  although I change it up sometimes, it's usually a piece of fruit, 4 pieces of turkey bacon (I could eat 100), and yogurt.  It's pretty much the quickest meal that's delicious.  Lunch:  A salad with feta or mozzarella cheese, chicken breast, and light dressing.  Dinner:  chicken, beef, pork, or salmon, and salad with the above toppings.  I cannot imagine doing this work-out being a vegetarian.  First off, the food would be twice as boring because there is so little variety that you can eat (at least I think).  Plus, I love meat far too much to ever imagine such a scenario!  Soooo, although I am loving the protein aspect of it, I'm getting kind of bored and sick of salad.  So needless to say, when I feed the girls animal crackers during the day I drool over them until I watch the girls with their grubby little hands, slobbering all over the crackers, gumming them into mush, and my taste for carbs is quickly diminished.  So that's a plus.  And I'll admit it, over the weekend I was DYING for an ice cream sandwich.  (I don't know why because I haven't had one in like a year!) and Dane brought back a pack of 4.  I had one. I admit it. And it was DELICIOUS. (And it was during my cheat meal, so back off!) So one has been sitting in the freezer all week, and I eye it every time I get ice.  I successfully resisted last night and had some fruit instead............I'M DYING FOR CARBS AND SUGAR.  Bread! Bread and water! I could do THAT.  10 more weeks....10 more weeks....anyway, the reason I brought this up is I've been thinking about what our diet will be like after I'm done with this adventure.  I'll modify it some, but overall, it really is a well-balanced diet.  Not as terrible as some I've tortured myself with! (At the end of a diet my mom forced us kids to participate in years ago, that inhibited us from eating any carbs at all, I remember downing an entire bag of potatoe chips when we ended the diet. True story. But I was like 13 so fat slid right off my bum then. Ah to be young again.)

Anyway, enough about food.  Today was the last day of chest and back for awhile.  I threw myself completely into everything and you know you did good when you're drenched in sweat and you can't lift your arms after the work-out.  Ah pull-ups and push-ups, we're going to have words sometime soon....but not today, I can hardly speak from the exhaustion.  I am improving in form and reps, it makes me happy.  I'm starting to notice little places like thighs and arms slimming down a bit, it's encouraging to see results so soon! I am fully confident that I am "bringing it".  By the time I end this week, I know my body will be screaming for a break.  And my little P90X book is right, just when you need a break badly, you get one.  (Break= yoga 3 times, kenpo, stretching, etc) Fear not, I won't be doing just nothing all next week.  Actually I think I need more of a break from the monotony than the actual work-out.  Anyway, more tomorrow peeps.
