Day 2, Level 2

Day 2 people! It did not suck as bad. However, let me explain. I did not workout with Amy this morning. Instead I took a nap (didn't get much sleep last night - don't ask - Jessica hush it). I worked out tonight, so that may have some impact on the difficulty level - things seem more difficult in the morning to me than at night. That is probably due to the fact that I am a night owl and so not a morning person.

Anyway, I still struggled. It was still hard, but I made it through. I did not die. It just felt a bit easier. I am thinking this may be because I have done the workout 2 times, this was the third, so I knew what was coming. That does make it easier because then I can tell myself that I only have this much more to go. It's a motivation/head game thing.

So, that is about that.

I know I said I was going to start the carb thing this week, but I didn't. I will some day. However, I just read something interesting. I was reading an article about how you can lose weight through exercise alone and that it is more likely that you will keep that weight off and that it will be easier to keep off if you do it that way. Plus it doesn't take as long to lose that way because your metabolism is getting faster, not slowing down as it does when you diet.

Just something to think about.

Oh, and I fell off the wagon big time. I ate McD's. It was lunch; the kids were home; had no food; it was fast and cheap. I told you I suck at diets. No will power when it comes to food. That is why exercise is my best friend.
