Fitness Friday!

So I thought I was going to start doing "workout Wednesday", but Wednesday is awfully far away, and I have a lot of complaining to do already (only slightly kidding!)! So I'm starting "Fitness Friday's!" today!

I have been without caffeine/soda since Wednesday. This is officially my third day without, and I am missing it like crazy. Wednesday wasn't too tough, but yesterday was horrible. My head hurt so bad by 9:00 last night that all I wanted to do.. (and did do) was go to sleep.

I started drinking 8 glasses of water a day. Only David was right. All I do all day is pee. I am constantly drinking water, and although that IS a good thing.. its seems to be the only thing I am doing. I am so worried about not making that damn video, that I am forcing myself to do EVERYTHING... even if it means chugging two glasses of water before bed.. and then waking every half an hour to pee. (we might have to edit that down to 6 glasses!)

Now on to the BIGGIE. Jillian Michael's. You are the most amazing woman I have ever met. You kick my a$$ for 20 minutes every day. I'd like to say that I love you, but.. I pretty much hate you. In a good way! I feel sore, I hurt all over, and I can barely walk down steps.. BUT IT FEELS SOOOOOO GOOD- In a really weird way! I love working out again. I love the energy I have.. (even if I am in too much pain to do anything! :) I'd give our work outs a solid B+. I hate them, but I know I'll see results.

On top of that I walk for 25 minutes finishing with a 5 minute run on the treadmill. Then after doing the 30 day shred I walk for another half an hour as a cool down. So all and all its about an hour and a half of exercise a day. (Not to mention running around the house/cleaning/going to the park/etc.. the daily stuff moms do!) Not bad, eh?

To round it off my eating habits have been PHENOMENAL! I know its only been three days, but honestly having this deal with you bloggy friends is keeping me straight as an arrow. I've been really reading up on healthy eating. I cut the *right* carbs. I am eating more salads, and eating more veggies with my meals. I'm eating leaner meats, and cutting out fats. I am really proud of myself.. and I am forcing myself to try new things. In fact yesterday my mom made me some hummus. I "THOUGHT" I hated hummus.. this time she added sun dried tomatoes, and I can't get enough! Of course I limited it, and had only a fourth cup with 9 blue chips.. but it was a great afternoon snack! :)

I'm documenting everything in a journal. I write down everything I eat, I make a check mark for every glass of water, and I have a portion to write down exercise. Its helping me really see what I put in my body. That's important to me. It keeps me accountable for me.

I'm really proud of myself. I know I'll be seeing results in no time.. but the biggest thing is, I feel healthier already! :) Now if you'll excuse me, I have two kids to bathe and a treadmill calling my name!

Happy Friday!
