My Tummy Hurts. Pleeeeease Rub My Tummy...

About 10 years or so ago, I had this little teddy bear, and when I pushed it's tummy it would say different things... One of the things it used to say with a high pitched cute little kid voice was " My tummy hurts.... Pleeeeease rub my tummy." No matter how many times I pressed the tummy it would make me laugh. I say all this to say that, I feel like that little bear right now.

I'm at a friends house for Easter dinner and for the 1st time in weeks (or months) I had dessert. I am soooo not ready to have sweets, it made me feel yucky primarily because I STILL do not know boundaries. I ate to much and to be honest I really didn't even want it all that bad. I guess I shouldn't be looking at this as a temporary thing but rather something that I just need to take out of my diet. I don't like feeling like this. And to make things worse.... I am gonna have to do some extra workouts next week to get this crap off... This was so not a part of the plan. But! I will be good to myself, I won't beat myself up but I will learn from this experience. So again I say...My tummy hurts.... Pleeeeease rub my tummy.

Hungry and Tired

It's been three weeks since I started Barry's Boot Camp and after 18 workouts, I'm getting extremely tired and hungry... I'm at the point where I don't wanna workout and to be honest, I wanna eat eat eat. Well, I shared my struggle on Facebook the other day and got some great encouragement from Arnolda. She said:

"Sandy you have to get over the hump, this just means that your old body is transitioning to your new fit body and your old body is putting up a greater fight. If you can get over this hump and remember how hard it was to get here you will never be out of shape again."

...."When you start seeing results and how much stronger and happier you are both physically and emotionally, it will become your life mission to stay in shape. Rt now you have to stay the course and make that transition. There is a better lifestyle at the end of that work and you'll be glad you did. I promise..."

This is good news.... I will remember this when I am to tired and I wanna eat everything in site.

One Bag of Sugar....

It's been two weeks on my new workout and eating plan and I've lost 5 pounds = one bag of sugar.

I lost 4 pounds the 1st week and only 1 this past week (sucks) but I guess it's exciting to be loosing (and not gaining) right? Not sure what I'm gonna do different this week but rest assured I'm gonna work hard. It would be nice to be down 10 pounds by conference (April 21) In the meantime I will also work on being good to myself and being patient.

Be good to you
Sandy
