Day 9 - Back on Track (kind of)

I am thankful that I had a good AM.

-Myoplex vanilla pre-made shake. I like those things. They taste good and are quick.
-Apple/Almonds
-1/2 Myoplex bar
-part of a strawberry/banana smoothie that Kam made.

My PM, which is my hardest time anyway, was not quite as successful.

I don't feel like telling, but I will.

Meatballs and gummy bears.

Protein and carbs right?

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

On another note, I must say that I have not had a pop in over a week. Now that is an amazing stat, because I love pop a little more than I love cheese. And you know how I feel about cheese. It is truly a freeing feeling not to be craving pop all day. Thank you God for that. And I did my intense 20 minute run, which I have decided an innocent observer might get a kick out of. I really do try to reach my "high point" like B. Phillips instructs, but I think I must look pretty funny doing it. My legs are sore from yesterday's workout, but I CAN walk this time without screaming in pain.

Thanks for checking on me. I really appreciate it.

Tomorrow is another day!

Day 6 (Otherwise Entitled I Love Cheese)

I really, really love cheese.

Nearly any kind. Among my favorites?

Swiss, Sharp Cheddar, Gruyeres, Feta and Gouda.

I like it in many forms:

sliced, in crumbles, queso, and string cheese.

I like cheese flavored popcorn and ESPECIALLY Nacho Cheese Doritos.

I even like that horrible squeeze cheese that comes out in smooth yet shaky lines.

I hadn't reflected much on my love for cheese until today, day 6. But wow, I do LOVE cheese.

Cheese is not a real big part of BFL. I read that if you want to have some cheese, you should microwave it for a few seconds and pat it with a paper towel to rid it of some of it's fat content.

I haven't done that.

But I did eat some cheese tonight.

At the end of another stellar day, eating wise, (which you have to understand is simply miraculous for me and my wild cravings)....

...I ate cheese.

Cheddar flavored Chex Mix with big heaps of Cheese-It Squeeze Cheese on top.

Not exactly what Bill Phillips was thinking about when he wrote the book.

Why didn't I just wait until tomorrow, the official free day?

To tell you the truth, I don't know what to expect tomorrow! How will I handle my freedom?

Eat more cheese?

I did have a good cardio today. It is still hard to get over the fact that I need to exercise with intensity for 20 minutes and that's it!

But that's what I did. It was much harder running on the trail than on the elliptical like I have been doing. But I did the interval thing and think it was probably a better workout than the elliptical. I felt it more, definitely.

I'm keepin' on keepin' on... I'm not giving up!

Cheese cravings and all.
