Oh chocolate. Why do you torture me. The self-sabotage continues......along with the menstratation cycle. Perhaps it is no surprise then, that I have been craving chocolate during the last few days--that is my monthly pattern.
Just as I'm starting to question the merits of this fitness plan....not a good time to be throwing it off with nutrition. SO. the weekend. Tomorrow I have kickboxing class and time to grocery shop and hopefully cook something delicously healthy. I find that when I have flavorful, homecooked food in the fridge, I am much less likely to eat things I shouldn't. Only when I'm pulling things out of the fridge to side with other random leftovers in the refrigerator as simple means to end my hunger pangs.....do I reach for the chocolate later on. And how can I blame myself for that (ok, other than getting myself in to that mess....)? But seriously, if I don't have good food stocked, how can I expect to get full off eating things I don't really enjoy or look forward to?
Anyway, tomorrow I have the best class of the week. For some reason, however, I'm not looking forward to it as much. I'm tired. This week has been brutal for me. Hopefully, I can rejuvenate Sunday and launch in to phase 2 of this weight lifting program.
On the bright side, I do think my arms had a bit more definition today when I was working out this morning. Only to come home to try on my freshly laundered jeans and feel like they are a bit too snug...I can't figure out if it's because our dryer is super hot (which it is---I usually don't dry my jeans the whole time), or if my legs are expanding slightly from the extra stuff I've been doing. Maybe both. Or maybe I'm paranoid. This is why I need to create my own irrefutable evidence. Measurements, pictures. I do worry about this though. I've never been one to weigh myself and I've only done body composition a handful of times (all when it was free at my undergrad). I don't want to hop on that bandwagon. Is there any way to get hard evidence about how my body is changing (good or bad) without possibly setting myself up to get crazy about it if things start to head south? Something to ponder.
Anyway, can't wait for tomorrow! I wonder if I'm brave enough for the steam room solo. I think I can hang.
