Yes, I'm a touch snarky today. I hurt. Not a lot, but enough to be in a bad mood about it. Nothing a cup of coffee won't fix though.

So I got the thinking yesterday that maybe I should change my diet, but then I got the thinking that I like the way I eat. I don't snack a whole lot. We eat a lot of fresh veggies and we're smart about carbs and protein. For instance, last night's dinner was chicken and rice bake and roasted asparagus. The chicken was dark meat, but only because I like it better than breast meat. The Cream of Mushroom soup in the recipe was low sodium, as I can't handle a lot of salt anyways, and there is only a cup or 2 of rice in it, and once the white rice we have is used up we're switching to brown rice. The asparagus had a light coating of butter spray and then just seasoned with a little bit of salt and bit more pepper and then broiled for about 10 minutes. See, not that unhealthy. :) So I am not going to change my eating habits, because I like the way I eat, and even though I'm not really pleased with Mr. Horton right now, I can and will get over it. :)

So now, Day 2 involves jumping jacks, and as any larger-breasted woman knows.....those hurt! I know I should do them, but really I can only do a few, because it hurts and its hard to do them while placing your arms over your chest. I'll get there. One of the reasons I wanted to lose weight was to  have a smaller cup size, but I can't wait until that starts to happen. I've been DDD for too long. :)

Ok, I'm going to go find a cup of coffee now and begin the healing process. :)

Cheers,

I do. That lovely sound would be ALL of my joints and muscles screaming in protest to moving and even, just maybe, thinking about moving.

Steve and I did the Cardio and Ab Ripper tonight and they should definitely be called "Let's bring on a heart attack or blown out joint" and "Time to kill you some more, but this time you can lie down while we do it." So the titles are a little long, but seriously, I was afraid that during some of the cardio I'd put down one of my legs and I would just keep going because my knee slipped out of joint again, and wouldn't that be craptacular? Trying to get healthy and lose weight, and oh! Wait! You're out for at least a week, probably three because your knees are so bad. Thankfully, that didn't happen. I took it slow and stopped for breaks more often than Stephen did, but my knees, while sometimes they felt loose, and they were cracking up a storm, are still connected. :)

Also, I enjoy doing pilates and yoga, but damn....that power yoga at the beginning kicked my rump. It was hard to bring my legs from a downward dog into a runners position. I have LONG legs. My waist to floor measurement is 48". Yep...I'm ALL leg. My grandfather used to tell me I had legs up to my shoulders, and he was mostly right. My torso is only about 16" long, but it used to be 14". I guess some fat will do that to ya. :)

I have to be honest here and say - I am not looking forward to the rest of this week.

You can say that again. It's like Deja Vu all.. ahh forget it. Tonight we had a miscommunication and ended up doing Sculpt 1-2 again, instead of Sweat 1-2 & Ab Ripper. We're going to do day 2 for day 3 and then continue on from there so that Sunday is still our Rest day and we will have done all the steps we were supposed to.
