Day Four

Successfully did day four before work! I’m getting good at this motivation thing. But the pain! Yesterday I was in so much pain all through work. I couldn’t reach down to pick up my mouse without cringing. But the pain went away during the actual workout. It came back full force immediately after, but at least I got through the workout without completely falling apart. 

Today’s workout was still hard. I’ve decided it never gets easy. It stays hard hard hard the whole time so that you actually get results. At least that’s what I’m telling myself to get myself through the twenty minutes when I desperately want to stop. 

I’ve been reading about how a lot of people don’t lose much weight doing the 30 day shred. I know there’s a lot of diet that needs to be involved, and I am watching what I’m eating a bit, though I’m not really modifying too much. I have such a restricted diet to begin with, thanks to my celiac, so I don’t feel like I should be punishing myself further. But I’m eating a big breakfast (today I had 2 eggs, scrambled), a good lunch (today it was vegetable soup), and a nice dinner (I’m thinking I’ll get some fish on my way home and something green). I’m trying to get lots and lots of water, and I don’t drink much else, except the occasional coffee. (Whoops, I had a vanilla iced latte with lunch. That was probably enough calories for all of lunch…) Hopefully I’ll see some results tomorrow for my weigh-in. (I cheated and weighed myself on Monday and had lost half a pound. We’ll see if that continued.) 

So feeling much better about the shred today than yesterday. Here’s to 26 more days!
