Week 1.... Down! Moving On..

Ok so week 1 has now officially PASSED (well until midnight tonight)! So far so good, I haven't weighed myself I will do that on Friday when I meet with my dietican.

Reflections: The first day wasn't as hard as I thought for eating. I was expecting it to be this oh so mighty difficult task but it wasn't. I did notice I was hungrier than I usually am. Who wouldn't be with only 4 shakes and 2servings of protien a day. The excersise on the other hand was tough. I hadn't been in the gym for months and my trainer kicked my ass.

As the days went on eating became more and more difficult. I am already tired of these damn shakes and 4oz's of protien is just NOT enough. I am not really satisfied at the end of any meal. I'm not hungry but I just want something really good and hearty.

I worked out everyday except for Sunday. My body is really hating me right now. My thighs, Butt, and Arms are just SO SORE. I haven't worked out like this is years. My trainer is great. She is a morning person and she is keeping me motivated. I had to workout all by myself on Tuesday. That I tell you was the hardest thing I have done in a long time. Group classes are fun and you have others to help motivate you. My trianer is there 3 days a week to motivate me. BUT when you're alone.. OH NO... You get bored and I easily could just give up. No one would know except for me if I really didn't workout for 45 minutes. It was tough, something I don't want to do often. My trainer is great because she is willing to switch it up. We don't have to do machines all the time. So this Friday she is going to teach me how to play squash. Now I know I can get a workout for playing squah. I really do hope that I can keep this up. I have been pretty tired this week as well. I haven't been able to get really good sleep. I did get one night of 7 straight hours, but I woke up tired like I needed more.

I'm not thinking about food as much as I was before but with all of the eating and snacking going on around me, it's hard not to fantisize about food and what I would LIKE to eat. This Friday I will get to add veggies into my diet! FINALLY something other than shakes and meat. I decided to be brave and try the 20/20 muffins that they have. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. I couldn't finish the whole thing. It kind of gave me this weird fullness that is kind of making me sick. It is a good alternative to the shakes but come on.. Nothing can replace a REAL muffin. I will add my next update on Friday.. Weigh-in day!!!
