So was Jillian right? …the results so far….again…unbelievable


Ok…

this is really weird…

but I am down 2 this morning, TOM is knocking at the door…AND I did not get enough sleep last night…

so I am thinking the girl knows what she is talking about.

It was hard yesterday to not exercise. I felt like a lazy butt. All night I kept asking my husband if he wanted to go for a walk…and then I would have to say…”no, I better not.” It was kinda scary to not do anything…cause it has been 10 weeks and I have only missed one scheduled workout. The week before last I worked out 325 mins…and the researchers have asked that we do 200…so I am well above my goals. My calves are happy though. They have hurt everyday since I started…and today, they still hurt when I really rub into the muscle…but a LOT less.

So, now the dilemma is, I am not sure how long to rest and eat the extra cals. I ate a little over yesterday, but not the 150 I should have. But it still seemed to work. Dagny said that her Curves workout book said, “You eat more calories until you don’t gain weight, then you know your metabolism is higher, and burns the amount of calories you are eating.”

I really want to workout today, so maybe I will workout and eat a little over…maybe that will work.

Yesterday, I still had my frozen yogurt treat, but much earlier in the day…and I found one with better ingredients too.

Still meditating, thinking and debating (ok, I admit it…dragging my feet) giving up the sweet tea y’all. Funny thing, I went through my diary from last week after getting it back from the Dr’s…and they had written in there, “you could sweeten your tea with splenda…and save some calories.” Funny! Splenda is a no no in my book…but I have been thinking about stevia, I just never can seem to get the amount right…so I told my hubby last night I will add a teaspoon to the pitcher one at a time, until I figure it out. AND I will add fresh lemon to it, to hopefully cut some of the after taste.

If you have any suggestions…or ways to help figure out how to help this G.R.I.T.S. (girl raised in the South) to have her sweet tea, and drink it too…naturally (w/ no artificial sweetners!) I shu would appreciate that now y’all: ) I wonder what Jillian would say….
