Day 2: Some rants and raves....

So today is Day 2. Double cardio sessions. I completed my first round this morning and I have to vent about something. So here I am on the treadmill, Ipod in (which I HIGHLY recommend to anyone doing cardio it keeps me entertained), singing to myself, minding my business, when this skinny little thing gets on the treadmill next to me. No offense to my skinny friends, but seriously there are 25 other treadmills empty does she HAVE to pick the one next to me? I am covered in sweat, panting, and beat red. Anyways, she starts walking, and after 10 minutes starts grabbing onto the sides and the front of the machine acting like she is dying. So I peer over to see her speed/incline and she is doing a 2.1 yes 2.1 with no INCLINE! She is BARELY moving! Here I am walking a 2.5 (mind you I am probably 200 pounds bigger than her) with an incline of 3.0 and all I want to do is grab the damn sides but know full well that it wouldn't help me and Brooks would kick my ass. I seriously wanted to punch her in the face. It's little skinny girls like that that make me work even harder, she didn't even break a sweat! She kept glaring at me like I was some monstrousity, but it was motivation for me to keep pushing through cause every time I saw her throw herself on the front of the machine, pretending to die, I pushed harder even though I seriously was in so much pain my legs were on fire. I did a full hour and then relaxed for my 15 minute reward in the hot tub. I still have one more session to go.

My diet has been a bit challenging today, in the fact that I need to consume my calories AND maintain my other levels when I didn't plan ahead. Planning meals is extremely important and I was lazy in doing that for today. I also didn't have any protein defrosted which makes it even more challenging to plan my meals. But I figured out a plan and will be planning my meals for the rest of the week to prevent this from happening again.

I am feeling pretty good, I'm hungry but not starving, I'm a little tired, and very sore, but I got some Ibprofuen and Icy Hot to help with that. :-)

OH and every Tuesday will be weigh-in day. I weighed today, not too shocked by the number on the scale. :-)
