Day 4: Tired

I was really tired today. I still did the workout and it was still easier than it had been before. I still had to take a couple of breaks ... but MAN, not getting enough sleep and then doing The Shred is totally not what I'd recommend.

I would like to take a moment to say that I am so extremely flattered by the number of positive responses I've received. They have definitely helped to keep me motivated and to keep going! I've had several people decide to start The Shred along with me, and I can't be more happy that we're all in this boat together!

I know I haven't posted my food journal recently, but it's been the same general rotation of oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast, nuts for snack, sandwiches or leftover meat for lunch w/ a side (either vegetables or noodles), then another meat for supper. Sometimes if I'm hungry for a snack, or something sweet, I'll have a bowl of cereal. I love cereal!! I'll try to get back into the habit of posting a regular food journal post, I've just been really busy the past couple of nights and didn't get the opportunity to do it.

Also, I have been drinking at least 88 oz of water per day. I have a goal to drink three water bottles full at work, which are 24 oz a piece for a total of 72 oz. Then I usually have 2-3 glasses of water at home after I finish The Shred ... then whatever I drink after work.

I'm not quite dieting, per se, but I'm trying not to eat as much and trying to make better food choices. I think if I ease myself into everything, I actually stand the chance of being able to succeed and not self-sabotage. Sometimes we really can be our own worst enemies!

Today, Thursday (technically Day 5), I'll be walking around a local neighborhood putting out my Avon books, so that will be some extra, low-key exercise to help keep my joints moving, muscles working, and blood pumping; so I'm proud of myself for that!

I know it's only 3:30 AM ... but I feel wide awake, so I may just do The Shred now and see if I can get in a nap before work. I need to be in early today (by 7), so I needed to do The Shred early anyway. Hm ... I'm a bit hungry ... might be time for some cereal first!

Anywho, keep on Shreddin' ladies!
