Got busy this week and didn't do my workout on Wednesday. Told myself I'd do it Thursday, didn't happen. SO, even though we were scheduled to go to a little get-together last night, Jerry and I got our 12 minutes in. Except, for my benefit he put the Wednesday workout in so we could get it done first. Then, we did the Friday one. OMG. Two back to back is a lot. Feeling stronger. Need to run...my legs are getting that *antsy* feeling.
Made a small poundcake to take to the in-laws because it's MIL's birthday. It smelled good, but I wasn't tempted. Well, I WAS tempted, but more because I used a new recipe, and everyone said it was good. I kinda didn't believe them that it was THAT good, so I wanted to prove it to myself that it turned out. So, back and forth I went on having a bite, and finally decided not to. What would be the point of knowing if it was good? So I'd know it was good, and I couldn't (wouldn't) have more? So I hope the kids eat it. There's just a few slices left.
Left knee kinda hurt yesterday doing our workout. It's hurt a little like that before, when we were doing Bikram yoga and it was at the beginning. The hurting stopped, which makes me think it's just some weak part in the joint screaming out because new things are happening. We'll give it a couple days.
Funny about when you change your diet, folks try to encourage you to return to the status quo. "You can have just a little bit, it will be ok." or "You can cheat a little, it's not gonna hurt nothin'..." Well, I'm 10 days in. And feeling like I've got a handle on things, why would I start over? And why would I take advice from folks that are 50-60# overweight? Consider the source. Consider the source. These folks do NOT know what is good for me. I think they think I'm tortured or deprived, and while I'm NOT eating cakes and such right now, I don't feel deprived like on a diet. If you've never done it though, I guess you wouldn't know. I'm going to stop trying to explain what I'm doing though, because it's annoying for folks to say "Ohhh, so you're doing ATKINS?" Uhno. Not doing Atkins. There's gotta be a simpler explanation, like "OH, I'm eating mostly fresh things..."
So, had a big kale salad for dinner last night while everyone else had "regular" food. I was satisfied, and it was delicious. They had pound cake, whipped cream, and sugared mixed berries. I had a bowl of berries with a little xylitol on them, and that was delicious too.
I think I'm gonna skip store-bought almond milk. I think they add too much calcium to it, and it's messing with my digestion. Bleh.
