Joanna 2-4-10

There are just some days when my kids make me nuts. I love them, I really do - but somedays I just need them to stop talking!!!!!

Today's workout kicked my fanny. I feel like I say that every day.....I guess that's a good thing. There was a point when I was doing jumping squats when I had to ask Leslie if I my feet were even leaving the ground - I felt like I had NO momentum. The next time we came around to that exercise (we were doing circuts) she said, "Ok Joanna - strength + speed = POWER". I just burst out laughing. The idea of making my exhausted legs do anything at all - especially something resembling "strength" or "power" was comical. It was either laugh or cry..... :)

I'm really dragging today all around. Just didn't feel like I got off to the best start. I started out really hungry and haven't been able to curb my appetite either. And I'm not just hungry for cottage cheese and carrots.....I'm craving naughty stuff. I keep telling myself Saturday is coming - but I'm still longing for bad food. I had to give in and make some homemade oven baked fries (which technically were still legal) and they helped....but I hope I can stop being so darn hungry. (I did only make one potato worth and I had it with cottage cheese). I honestly don't feel like this very often - so when I do it makes me a little nuts. Here's hoping I can stick to some kind of a plan the rest of the day.

Food:

1. Adkins protein shake
2. baked fries with cottage cheese
3. spinach and turkey wrap w/ side of carrots
4. apple & jerky
5. ???
6. protein bar

I'm grateful for days when my hubby helps around the house. I realize how grateful I am for those days when an off day happens and he doesn't do the things he normally helps with. Like today - my dishes are piling up in my sink because the clean dishes in the dishwasher haven't been emptied. Anyway - I'm focusing on being grateful for the help he does generally give me.
