Another morning where I can barely keep myself awake..starting off today with a honeybun for breakfast. At least I am drinking water (no, not from my jug. I left it at home again). Today's workout will focus on the lower body. You know what that means: squats and lunges. Ughhh not looking forward to it. Especially since my form sucks and I'm not even sure I'm doing the exercises right, therefore I question if I'm even getting the full benefit. God, why can't I just suck less.
Update #1: So I finally got my Chick-fil-A today. Got a chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and a sweet tea. I realize that I need to start making healthier food choices or none of this stuff I'm going to be doing the remainder of the 28 days will matter. You can't just exercise once a day, eat like you have been all along, and expect anything to change. I've got to do better =/ We'll see what I decide to have for dinner tonight. Lastnight I had tomato and penne soup with a little bit of cheese and croutons sprinkled in. It actually wasn't half bad. I also had one of my pineapple italian ices for dessert, as well as a little bit of a diet sierra mist. There's some other soups in the cabinet that I'm not too keen on, so I may try for a salad tonight. We're all out of Diet Dr. Pepper and almost out of the sierra mist, so I'll try doing some damage to my jug of water.
I'm honestly thinking about adding a daily jog to my routine, and I know just the place where the shameful act would take place (a nice little greenway across from one of our favorite parks). I say shameful because it's a shame how out of shape I am, and I know I would thoroughly embarrass myself. I'd probably be all off-balance, light-headed, pink splotchy faced, and gasping for breath. It may get so out of hand that an innocent bystander will think I'm dying and call an ambulance. The paramedics will look down at me with resentment in their eyes because they'd rather be helping a major car accident victim or someone who suffered a heart attack, than tending to a fat shit like me. We'll see how I feel. It's already hard enough to motivate myself to do anything once I get off work and come home, because by then it's already going on 6 o' clock and I still have other things to do like feed my face and do the laundry, take a shower and do my hair so I won't have to get up extra early to do it the next day (plus, my hair just lays better after I've slept on it a night). And now that I've started my boob journey, I also have to set aside an hour every night to pump my boobs. And you can't exactly move around with those things on. Yes, I'm looking for excuses. Adulting SUCKS. Amiright?
UPDATE: So the workout tonight was as awful as I thought it'd be, only because I am so out of shape and never use my leg muscles. The squats weren't too bad (granted, my form was terrible. I'm sure if I did them correctly, I would be saying the opposite.) The side kicks were actually kind of fun, aside from the fact our dog, Zeus, kept getting in my way. I also always find it harder to do the left side of any exercise. Kicking with my left leg just felt awkward, and I didn't feel the same burning sensation in my buttocks that I did on the right side. Now the lunge kick-ups and the side lunges were a whole different animal. The lunge kick-ups wouldn't have been so bad if my legs weren't already feeling the burn. My form got really sloppy half-way through, but nonetheless, I pushed on. My legs felt ten times heavier by the end of it. By the time I got to the last exercise, the side lunges, I was pretty much crippled. I couldn't even begin to get the form down. A lot of that had to do with the fact that my legs felt like jello, but I also remember in the past during my many other failed attempts at starting a workout regime, I could never seem to get comfortable with the side lunges. I am hoping to clean my form up so I can get the most benefit out of these workouts. If not, all I'll end up doing is hurting myself more than I'm helping myself. I can definitely feel soreness in my quads and buttocks today, so I am hoping that means I am doing something right and on my way to building muscle :P
As for dinner lastnight, Wes made some kind of alfredo rice and added some canned chicken. I also had a little bit of a diet caffeine free Pepsi and a couple of cookies :P
Baby steps.
