Today is soooooo Depressing..yet I feel great!

I woke up this morning to a storm. Not rain, a full on wind, thunder and lightning, flood rain STORM! This is CRAZY! I am not used to this. I couldn't log into million dollar body to WOWY. I had to wit for the power to come back on to work out. Insane right, I am waiting, WAITING for the power to come on so I can workout. I would have never done that in the past. That's how I know I am changing. Today I know this is truly a lifestyle change. This time last year I would have made every effort NOT to work out.


To give you a little deeper aspect. A few weeks ago I bought a Snickers bar that I "hid" from myself...last night my husband was talking about how he wants brownies, but knows I can't so he won't. Then he talks about how he wants a candy bar! I said "Oh I can help you out with that one." I brought him my Snickers bar. He said "how long have you had this, I am so proud of you." I almost cried. The thing is, snickers are my favorite I would normally have devoured that thing in no time. I haven't had a craving for it though and gave it to him without any hesitation. So YAY me!!!

I HATE CRAMPS!!!

So I wake up this morning to the most excruciating pain ever! I haven't had cramps this bad in like 3 years. These are those I can't do anything cramps...I am laying ON my heating pad and if I have to go to another room it comes with me. So needless to say I pushed my way through a very painful workout. Well, partially. I started it and about a half hour in I had to stop. Normally, I can get rid of the cramps by downing about 4 Advil and drinking a cup of hot tea. NOPE, these jokers are super cramps. If a little bit of cold gets close to me I'm on my knees in pain. AHHHHHH!!!! So I am going to give you the rundown and continue laying down on my heating pad.

I "chose"...unfortunately

So as you may have noticed I haven't posted for a couple days. Yeah, see what had happened was... Well, I "chose" yesterday not to finish my workout and not to stay on plan. My excuse is that it is "that time" of the month when my cravings are on high. What is hilarious about the whole situation is what I ate. I ate my normal plan between 1300 and 1500 calories. Then, my body said it wanted sugar so what I ended up eating was a TON of Fiber One and Peanut butter, a fiber one bar and 8 fruit leathers...an extra 600-700 calories. So I don't know what to say. Today is a new day and we move on. The scale will show us the damage tomorrow. Okay Sugar Plums, I'll talk to you tomorrow!
