Today is the start of the 12 week competition. I have a whole mix of feelings; competitive, anxious, excited, worried; all that and more. It's a huge life style change. For the third day in a row I know that I'm not eating enough. I'm just so afraid of messing up, opening up the flood gates, and not being able to stop myself from eating. I've learned that the hungry feeling actually goes away if you give it time. Not that it's fun or easy. But just something I've noticed. We found out our teams last night. I do have good people on my team, but I will say that 2 of the 4 people are already what I consider to be a great shape. I think they are just trying to get the motivation to loss those last extra pounds. I'm not sure but I think that they are pretty active as well. Like "runners" active. I guess I should call them and find out. Anyway, I think I just need to take this one day at a time for right now because the thought of working out as hard as I already have done today kinda overwhelms me.
Today I have walk/jogged for an hour while pushing the stroller and I really pushed myself a lot more then when I did it 2 days ago. Plus it was for a half hour longer then before. And I wore these 2.5 lb wrist weights around the house for 2.5 hours while I did my normal thing. It really made my arms burn, and I like it! And I did some dumbbell arm work outs. I KNOW that I'm going to be SO SORE tomorrow because I'm already sore and stiff. And I did 20 minutes of my little 5 lb (with the 2.5 lbs wrist weights) dumbbells strength training at home.
I have to admit that I have only had half of a grapefruit and a salad with quinoa, black beans and (salsa for dressing). That's it. And it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I know that's not enough. But I'm starting to cook a nice and healthy dinner. I need to find that balance. To stretch out my calories evenly all day. I have drank TONS of water today. And man, our water bill is going to go up for ALL the times I have flushed the toilet! You really have to go a lot when you're drinking more water.
