can be difficult, but I know it's the key to success in most everything. Eating is the worse for me. I simply like food too much, but I'm trying to log WHEN I eat, WHAT I eat, and how full I am after. Supposedly you are supposed to log something about your emotions connected with eating, but I rarely go "gosh I'm mad" and over or under eat, boredom is probably the only thing but I can replace that with reading or doing my nails (DID SHE SAY THAT? yes SHE did).
Anyway I've been consistent with working out..usually have been...since 1986 or so. Yesterday I did Classical Stretch/Essentrics Prechoreographed Workout No. 2. There is a HUGE difference in the quality of Miranda's televised workouts and the ones she has made for trainers. No there are TWO huge differences. First there are a lot more pointers so as a teacher of Essentrics you have tons of imagery and pointers for your clients. Second, the quality of lightening, sound track, etc. sucks. But the workouts are SO tough (if you do any hour long Essentrics program in my opinion at 110% all would be this way) it doesn't matter..you learn so much!
Today I should be attending TaeKwonDo so I just did about 45-50 minutes of workouts. I did two episodes from season 6, episode 609 Shoulder and Stress Relief. This is an all standing workout and really REALLY great if you have any problems with upper back or shoulder tension. I followed up with episode 612 Sculpt Your Legs which I love because it does the side lying floor series with elongation and when doing baby stretches and hamstrings--Miranda says move your leg around like a chicken wing you're about to cut off at the joint. She cracks me up.
But food is my enemy. I have decided the best thing is to keep it out of the house. I find while I love Kit Kats and Lay's BBQ Potato Chip...I don't love them enough to drive for them LOL. Fortunately the kids are not the kind of children who will "have" to have junk or bitch and moan--and my husband is all for it (of course he has lost 50 pounds in the last what four months so why would he?). Yogurt and fruit for sweets, as well as carrots, but damn baby carrots suck--tasteless even with salad dressing so real carrots. Pretzels will be my go to for salt though and I'm totally able to control quantities. No more junk diet sodas either...the real thing or nothing. The stuff in diet crap has scarred me since 1990 anyway.
