AJ is Starving…

I am so freaking hungry.

I had nothing ready/available for lunch or dinner today. Dumb, I know, but I guess I really wasn’t as prepared as I thought for bootcamp day one. Lunch was tuna , 13 whole wheat crackers and a single serving of low-fat cottage cheese. Oh, and water. And some black berries.

For dinner, I had some left over crock pot chicken, but no brown rice or veggies to go with it. Ran to the grocery store tonight at 7:30 (30 minutes before I wanted to be “done” eating for the night) and was over-hungry*.

Nothing looked remotely good.

I grabbed 3 packages of frozen brown rice, steam in a bag fresh broccoli and cauliflower, 3 cans of 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup (for a crockpot recipe) and a few other things (including cat food for my poor little big hungry one). I threw the rice in the micro, then the leftover chicken, then the bag of veggies. I had a meal in under 10 minutes, and of course, I wolfed it down. I had 3 veggies left and 1/2 my plate of chicken and rice, and I am feeling full but not stuffed (a 4 on the WW Momentum 1-5 scale).

Also, I had about 5 sips of Diet Coke, and while I am not happy about it, I had a raging I-haven’t-had-a-diet-soda-in-2-days-and-haven’t-eaten-since-1pm headache. I am happy to say it is gone. To break the soda dependency, I am going to have to go slow. Maybe one a day for a few days, then 1/2 for a few days, then 1/2 every other day until I lose the headaches. This going cold turkey is for the birds.

This is the part of working out I haven’t figured out- I have never been able to eat well AND excercise a the same time.

It is either one or the other. Walk four 5k’s and one 10k during the year, eat alot of crap. Eat well, absolutely no exercise.

I am sure it is a dance I will learn to do over time, but I always seem to fail at one as I succeed at the other.

OK, I am going to clean up my dishes and get to bed so I can be up at 5 tomorrow morning. :-)

*Old over-hungry me would have ran to McDonald’s instead of the store, so that is a small NSV.

AJ Loves to Bootcamp – Day 1

I threw up.

After the WARM UP.

But you know what? I wiped off my mouth, grabbed a swig of water, and got back to it. I went right back into the workout like nothing happened.

I was MORTIFIED, but atleast I made it to the bathroom.

Let me start over.

I woke at 5:10 for my 6 AM class, already dressed in workout clothes, sports bra,socks and pants, only needing to put on my shoes. I ate a small apple and a cheese stick, and grabbed my water bottle.

I was ready by 5:25.

My friend N picked me up and while I was awake and ready for the class, she was CRABBY and I found out she is NOT a morning person. :)

We arrived to the class without incident, and after riding the elevator to the 39th floor, we walked the final 2 floors up (no elevator access to the gym).

We threw our things in the cubbies, and headed out to the floor to stretch.

I really haven’t stretched in ages, so it felt good to feel the pull at my hammies. :)

Anyway, the instructor apologized for not doing out body assessments today, her printer was on the fritz.

So we went right into a full 50 minutes workout.

You already know what happened 5 minutes in.

I used my inhaler 2 times during class, this exercise-induced asthma crap is really kicking my butt. I hate that I have a hard time getting a full breath. I hope it will get better as I lose some weight (though from past experiences, I know it probably won’t. I will be optimistic though). I will call the doctor this week and get an appointment to check out my lung functions.

Anyway, after 50 minutes of getting my but kicked, I apologized to the instructor for leaving class to throw up, and asked if she had any hints for next time regarding NOT throwing up. She asked what I ate before class, and said I would really have to test what my body would be able to handle before a workout- maybe nothing, maybe just a hard boiled egg white. I think the apple was WAAAAY to hard on my poor tummy. When I got home, I had a kiwi fruit, and a strawberry banana protein smoothie. MMMMMMM. I think i will have leftover chicken and rice for lunch. Not sure what I will make for dinner*.

Tomorrow is Bootcamp day 2( I will be going 3 days a week). I think I am going to ask miz fit what she eats before an early morning workout and go from there.What do you eat before working out?? After??

Even though it was not my finest morning, I am so excited to be doing this bootcamp again. It gets me up, dressed and out the door early so I can start my day.

*I was one of the crazy ladies out at 4 AM on Black Friday and was able to score a 5.5 qt Crock pot for cheap at Target. I have used it 3 times and I am in love. If you have any goodhealthy crock pot recipes, please share!! :)
