NWLJ - Days 28 & 29: ...and, Boy, Are My Arms Tired!

My workout has officially kicked me in the bum! Last night, I got home, and it was just me and Adam, so I worked out, and my arms officially felt like jelly! And not even the good stuff! They felt like cheap dollar store jelly. Raspberry, I think. Only one man dares give me the raspberry!

Anyway, I had trouble reaching up to type on the keyboard. Am I happy I got the workout? Hell yes! Did I want to die? See previous response. But in the long run, it was worth it! Even though today was my off day for a workout, I walked a mile and a quarter, partly uphill.

I didn't do so bad nutritionally the past few days. Yes, I had a Wendy's burger last night, with a backed potato, and this evening I decided I would start my "free day" a little early with some sweet and sour chicken. I've learned my lesson, I'm not doing that again even if I'm allowed. I did have a nice salad with tuna and light ranch dressing this afternoon, and it was sooooo good! Filled me right up! I need to find more meals like that: portioned correctly and filling. It's probably true that the fat content of the tuna (no mayo, btw) is what filled me up, but it really hit the spot!

Again, another weekend filled with parties. It's going to be tough keeping to the new regiment, but I am not starting the Body for Life program until I can get a weight bench. My fiance's brother has offered to work out with me, and he's got all the weights, just no bench. Chrissy wants to join in the workout routine, too! The more people I can get to join in the pattern, the better off I think I'll be able to stick with it. Tomorrow is grocery day, and I'm going to have to get the chicken breasts and rice.

Oatmeal is eh, in my opinion. Not the best, but it's something. I had to add some sugar and some cinnamon to make it appeal more to my pallet. I also want to find a sugar substitute, but want to steer clear of anything with aspartame or sucralose. I want something natural, unrefined. I've been told to use Sugar in the Raw. I don't use sugar often anymore, but can anyone make any suggestions?

Anyways, time for bed. See you all tomorrow.
