Day 9: March 5, 2008

Session: 4

I asked for it.  I had said that I wanted to have my ass kicked and I did.  What’s crazy is that for 30 minutes of the 60 minute session I hardly moved.  I spent the whole time doing mat exercises: articulating my spine, doing planks, etc.  It was killer!  I loved it.

I was dropped off at the Studio so that I could walk home, which is about 5-6 miles.  Since my workout finished at 6pm, I really had to book it so that I’d get home before dark.  I sped walked for 1 hour and a half. 

Davidson gave me some pointers for my diet, like

  • No sugar
  • Atkins had the right idea about low-carb
  •  If I have to eat bread, make it spelt bread
  • Your carbs should come from veggies
  • The first thing you should eat in the morning is Fat and Protein
  • Eat Fruit early in the day.  Beer, too.

What I’ve eaten:
Go Raw Trek Mix
Strawberries
Baby Carrots
Taco Salad
Orange
Tuna Salad
Blue Moon

Day 10: March 6, 2008

Session: 5

Had my ass kicked again today.  I learned a few new exercises, which was great.  Today I used leg and arm springs, which work you more in your extremities while still working out your core.  So far the springs are my favorite.  I am learning to transition between exercises by myself, so I should be ready for duets soon.

Day 13: March 9, 2008

I can’t stop eating these damn Chocolate Chip Cookies.  They are Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chunk, are 190 calories a piece and are loaded with sugar and wheat carbs.  If they are in the house, I eat 1, sometimes 2, everyday.  I need to stop this.  I wouldn’t buy them, but my boyfriend loves them.  He eats like crazy to try to PUT ON weight.  Right now I hate him.
