We have started Day 3!!!

Today I am starting day 3 of LiveFit!
Food Glorious Food!!!
Day 1 ended with a headache!  Day 2 began with a headache...and also ended with a headache!  So that kind of sucks!  I'm pretty sure I'm not eating enough.  Or maybe I just need to eat more of certain things like starch...or protein!  The alternative is that I have been eating terribly for a while and now that I'm trying to eat healthy my body is saying "What the heck is happening????  Where are the sweets?  The candy?  The pasta?!?!"  The day before I started this workout program I had a huge helping of Kraft Mac and Cheese, a soft pretzel with cheese, and 2 Reese's peanut butter cups...and I wasn't even hungry!  Ha ha ha!  Either way, it's been rough!

I will say that the past 2 mornings- even with a headache yesterday- I have gotten up so much easier than I have in months!  I feel as if I slept better as well!  So, if anything...I'm sleeping better and that is totally worth it!

Day 2-
1 t. of peanut butter
Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal with 1Tlbs of Flax seed and 1t. of peanut butter
Cottage cheese w/ strawberries for a snack
Tuna w/ green beans for lunch
Vegetables for a snack
1 talapia fillet and a spinach salad w/ onions and jalapeno's for dinner
Carrots and hummus for a snack
And a handful of chex rice cereal...I was starving!
Plus about 10 cups of water and 1 cup of milk

Day 3-
Banana
1 cup of brown rice w/ 5 tlbs of egg white (and salt...I had to add it or I don't think I would have been able to eat it...remember my love of sweets?  That goes for breakfast as well!)
Vegetables- a few pieces with my breakfast...it helps
Greek yogurt for a snack
Turkey with sweet potatoes- the potatoes have brown sugar and marshmallows- but they are leftovers and I can't let them go to waist...like the piece of pie I have sitting in my fridge (insert crying)
Spinach salad with onions and jalapeno's...and a bit of ranch (but I normally drown my lettuce...so I'm hardly using any)
More vegatables and rice if I need more to eat for a snack!
Hopefully for dinner I will make those sirloin things I have in the fridge and asparagus!

I'm hoping that today I will make it through without a headache...that is the goal!

Workout
I have loved the workouts!  My arms are killing me!  But since you work different muscles everyday...it's not as bad!  I mean don't get me wrong...I'm in pain...my arms are killing me!  Ha ha ha, but it's the good kind where you know you killed the workout and should feel proud!  So, I do feel proud and I have the sore arms to prove it! Ha ha ha

Arm workout- amazing!  And I was only using 5 or 10 lbs weights.  I have no arm strength!  So, I don't feel as if you have to be a weight lifter to get some amazing benefits!
Back workout- I think I need to work harder on these workouts.  I think I use my arm muscle a lot, when I should be using my back.  So, my back doesn't hurt all that much!
Leg workout- today was the leg workout and let me tell you when I was done and had to walk down a flight of stairs...I thought I would fall.  The muscles in my legs were all wobbly!  Luckily I was holding on to the railing!


One more thing- someone said "You don't need to lose weight.  You look beautiful".
1. I appreciate the sweet thought!  It makes me smile and feel good!
2. It's not about how I look it's about how I feel.  And I have been feeling gross.  I'm always tired to the point where I was thinking I might have Mono.  I am not sleeping all that well- waking up 20-30 times a night.  Eating when I was happy, sad, angry, tired...I mean as if I need a reason...but I would say if I could just have a candy bar (a mini one) that would make me feel better.  It was terrible!
3.  I'm not made of money...so when a lot of my clothes don't fit, because I got them when I weighed less...and I can't afford to go and buy pants that fit me now...the alternative is to loose weight.  And again- it's not my main goal...but it will help the bank and my fashion to have so many more options.
4.  I'm eating clean...it's not as if I'm saying that I am only going to lettuce!  Or I want to weigh 90lbs.  I just don't think I need to eat mac and cheese, a soft pretzel, and a candy bar...or have 4 pieces of cookie dough in 30 min because that is easier/tastier than making a sandwich!
5.  Curt and I are going to start trying in the future, and I want to feel the best that I can feel when I get pregnant.  If I already feel bad about how I am looking/taking care of myself...that will only be more stressful as I gain weight for my future child.  So- why not start now and get to a great place where I can eat well and workout on a regular basis before that baby comes along!

Okay- I'm off now to finish my eggs and rice.  The veggies really help!  If only it didn't hurt to put the veggies to my mouth!  Ha ha ha!  Have a wonderful Wednesday!
