Today I did level 3 of "30 Day Shred" and I felt fantastic! It seemed much harder the last time I did it. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that I slept in this morning and have energy whereas my last attempt was after a long day at work. I even did the traveling push ups the real way! No more girly push ups for me! I need to work on getting my face/chest lower to the ground before I can honestly brag about doing full push ups. I think it will be awhile before I get to that point if I even get there at all during this 30 day cycle.
My eating challenges yesterday were a work outing at the bowling alley and a wedding reception. I had a very small breakfast and then I ate some bacon around 10:00 a.m. in an attempt to load up on protein and feel satiated before facing pizza at the bowling alley. I ate two pieces of pizza for lunch but I gave my crust to Weston. We headed straight to the wedding reception where I grazed on pineapple and carrots. For dinner, I loaded up on veggies and chicken and gave my potatoes and my bun to Weston (Don't worry-he's getting his veggies too!). I successfully avoided eating wedding cake and, even more challenging, I avoided the open bar! Go me! I was really proud of myself for that one. I did have one minor (OK, major) slip up when they brought out tubs of flavored popcorn from a local specialty popcorn shop and allowed guests to make bags as a take home favor. I love popcorn. I really do. I couldn't pass this up. I snagged myself a giant bag of caramel popcorn and munched on it while we chatted with our table mates.... and then I ate the rest of the bag for breakfast this morning. Ooops.
The eating part of this challenge is much more difficult for me than the workout part.
It feels like I have been doing the Shred Challenge for FOREVER but it has only been seven days. I'm not even 1/4 through yet! Must. Keep. Going.
