This past week was informative, yet still. Last week I spoke about my growing bucket list. Many of the things on my list can easily be checked off. Several items could have been accomplished already, but I haven't felt comfortable enough in following thru. -- In other words, thats a graceful way of saying I have lacked the confidence to do so! Which is ironic because confidence has always has been a strong quality of mine. This week Bo mentioned that he gets the feeling I don't like rules, I told him I don't like stupid rules. He laughed, but I know its because he understood what I meant!
I also came clean with him earlier this week and told him I don't like to grunt when I am working out. I feel its attention seeking and I already know how bad and tough I am. I don't need any more of that type of attention. He was right when he counseled me telling me this was the time to be bad and tough. When you are working out you do want to work hard. I realized then grunting during training would be inevitable. I didn't grunt per se, but there was definitely some heavy breathing and other sound effects which I would normally try to stifle. --- This is the time and the place to be bad and tough. Yes true, and with that resonating within me I began to feel myself get a little cocky. Which tripped me out, I think with cockiness comes recklessness and those either together or separately
undercut discipline. I dont want to be cocky, I want to be confident. I dont want to be reckless I want to be disciplined. I dont want to be bad and tough. I want to be fit and healthy. --- I also don't think of the Carmel Valley 5k much at all! This process of mine is no longer just focused on the goal that initiated my desperation, I mean my decision, to seek a personal trainer. I signed up for a 5k that is scheduled before the original one. The thought of 'can I run it' never crossed my mind, because I know I can do anything I put my mind to!
This has been an uplifting week, no doubt the World Champion GIANTS had something to do with my positive mind set. I worry about what will happen with them next year, but for now I will enjoy their present success!The number on the scale has not been very impressive to me. But, given my weekend getaway no gain is as good as no loss! A few weeks back Bo said I wasn't sweating enough, although I think its a vision impairment on his part I found myself no longer being satisfied working out on my own unless I'm dripping in sweat! -- and worse- I kinda like it!
Food has been an interesting situation this week. Never would I have thought an 80 calorie yogurt would be a satisfying breakfast, but it is. Adding oatmeal to a smoothie was definitely a game changer for me! --way fulfilling and worth the extra calories. I even bought several green and orange vegetables this week as well as hummus! -- yes, hummus, for reals. Its right next to my goat cheese! --
Good bye Doritos, hello hummus!
