Day 2

Today is day two and I'm feeling really motivated! I was not sore when I got out of bed this morning. I really thought I would be after yesterday's sweat session. Apparently I am not working hard enough! I was really thirsty all day long and managed to get down 40 oz of water before leaving work. This is huge for me as I usually make it from 8-5 on less than 20 oz. I know I need to drink more water so I'm trying to be mindful of that as I do this 30 day challenge.
I managed to sneak in a 20 minute walk with a co worker during lunch today and I feel really good about that. My eating was OK today. I had a great breakfast with lots of protein, a reasonably large lunch with more protein, and a small meatless dinner. I'm mentally preparing to tackle the upcoming food challenges that are looming ahead. In the next four days, I've got book club, happy hour trivia, a work outing, and a wedding reception. YIKES! There are so many opportunities to fail in the eating department. I'm going to have to be really focused. I'm also trying to figure out how I am going to make it to the gym 12 times this month (we get reimbursed by our insurance program) and still make time for this 30 day program.

Tonight I did level 3 of the "30 Day Shred" DVD. I definitely worked up a good sweat. I skipped the cool down at the end of the session and went straight to the fridge for some water because I was ssoooo thirsty. I went half speed through a lot of the moves so I could focus on my form. The traveling push ups are really hard. I have to do a lot of the modified moves for this level because I am not strong enough to do the full moves. Maybe I will be doing the full moves in another 28 days.
