Sunday(Day 7), after my Bikram experience I went to dinner at my mother in laws. Traditional italian, yummy food, eggplant parm, macaroni, sauce, bracciole, meatballs, the list goes on. I drank an Isagenix Isalean shake. I could dedicate an entire post to the reaction but I'll just say, I'm proud of myself!
"No, I'm okay, thank you, I don't want any"
"OHHHHH, you're only having a shake, what about some vegetables?"
"I'm committed to sticking to my plan and achieving my goals."
"Are you sure you don't want vegetables, they are good for you."
Thank you for letting me know that vegetables are good for me, I had no idea, in fact, they AREN'T good for you AT ALL, your vegetables are GMO filled, chemical shit storm, frankenvegetables, and I eat organic. But I didn't share that.
I remembered I had a free meal, and that supported me through, and boosted my will power!
French onion soup minus the bread! Delicious...and a glass of wine, and half a burger. Yes, this vegetarian, ate half a burger. I've been a vegetarian for close to 10 years, but after starting this meal plan I decided to eat some of my protein as lean organic meats.
Yesterday was a rest day. Why is it that I feel guilty for "resting" my body? It's a key part to rebuilding the muscle you tore apart the day before, get out of your damn head Raina! I was so sore that when I bent down to clean up after my daughters toy tornado, I called out for the lord! WHOA! I love being sore, it hurts so good. First time back at Bikram creates a two day sore, as I found out this morning when I woke up to Day 9.
The snow was coming down and it would've been easier to just stay cuddled with my little angel. My parents came to watch her so I could head out and brave the roads to get to the gym. Interval again. Before I ran out I chugged a huge glup of Ionix Supreme.
I killed the workout today, yes, killed it, like slaughtered it, full out 100%, and I didn't puke. There was an ease at which my body responded when I pushed, I felt my recovery time was fast between intervals. The Ionix supreme drink is designed for that, these products amaze me. Partnered with my body getting stronger, I felt great about my workout.
I'm looking forward to connecting with my coach and sharing all my success, I can see my body changing already.
A few things I've discovered so far:
Spreading banana on my toast is yummy. 1 fruit serving, 1 starch.
I forgot how delicious turkey sausage was.
I don't have cravings, but when I do, a little Ionix or an Isadelight chocolate and I'm good!
Most people do way too much cardio! Cathy's program is so in tune with what works!
Most of all I realized that this is a lifestyle that I'll continue forever, it's not easy but nothing worth it ever is, it challenges you to stretch, literally and figuratively and, my friends will tell you, I love a challenge!
Off to prep today's meals! Yumo!
