I was supposed to have worked out yesterday but I had some house cleaning that took over the day, so by the time I went to pick Lance up, I was tired.  We also picked up some milk, creamer, and cookies yesterday.  Yes, Nutty Butter cookies, to which we both had 4 the entire night.  I also noticed that I am up to drinking 60+oz or 2 Nalgene 32 oz containers of water daily.  My body seems to like it; thus, making me a peeing machine.

It’s 9am and I have yet to eat breakfast, besides the two cookies I had.  I will remedy that, and start having water for which I am been craving since yesterday, ½ a gallon of tea apparently didn’t do it.


(No session today)
I did my goal of three workouts this week!!!  It is a lot harder than it seems regardless of one’s schedule. Lance and I went to Publix and got some great food.  I really like Publix, I wish my budget could afford it.

A favorite shirt of mine, is fitting like 2 inches looser around the waist.  Also, we went shoe shopping I picked up 2 pairs of Sketches, Go Walk, on “sale” (buy on get one FREE is a sale, anything else is a scam but I didn’t pay full price).  Anyway, the old shoes are scheduled to be thrown out and I found out that I am down a clothing size from a 12/14 to a snug 10! 


Lance also took me to Guitar Center, we like to hang out there, and for the first time I wasn’t self-conscious as to if anyone was paying attention.  Lance noticed it as well.  He is so proud of me.  (I am painfully shy and pretend to be an extrovert).  So excited!!!

We are making progress.  I am always concentrating on my form when I used to workout, so I am enjoying this slower paced workout routine; it’s personalized for what I need and my goals and I think my chest muscles are becoming firmer and L said that my big and stomach are tightening.  Scary. 

Because I am committed in a new way to my health I am scared that I will start to sabotage myself as I have done in the past.  Embarrassingly, I brought this up to Abui and she has me write down what, where, and how I sabotage myself.  I see them and what solutions I can make:

1.)   I need more healthy (there is that word again) snacks that I don’t have to worry about enjoying (There isn’t a great deal of junk food in our house to begin with usually)
2.)  She wants another Summation, (last time I was supposed to do it, I was not be precise enough)  My precision is now like Cyclops at pool (X-men comic reference)
3.)  Looking up a Caribbean diet and redefining it for myself (It’s what I know)
4.)  Reference Food Chart (Lance, commented on something called the Food Chemical Chart
5.)  Food Chemical Chart

These weeks have seemingly flown by homework wise, because Abui makes the bar so slow that it is achievable and doable.  I do fail periodically, but usually I don’t because I do the easier stuff either the same day of our meetings, after the phone call or hours before, if I forget.


I am still unemployed and so my main tasks are about 1-2hrs cleaning the house (every other day), laundry by hand (if need be to save money), job hunting, working out, meal preparations music practice, songwriting, music (flute, mandolin, guitar, orcarina: think Zelda) playing and repeat.  I am used to using my time wisely because of summer boredom.  I loathe being home everyday and walking helps.  I am certain that if I had a job this would be a great harder because it’s not as easy as I am making it seem now.  Or maybe not, because I don’t like to waste time.
