I hate salad

I have to confess that I HATE salads, however it seems as if they are the dieters wonder food! My husband asked me if he wanted me to pick up anything from the store, and I told him anything healthy BUT salad!

The reason for this post is that, my room mate who cares nothing for losing weight makes all this wonderful fattening food! She is the most awesome cook next to my friends brother. So I get stuck sometimes foraging for something I can eat. Salad seems easy…. I just can’t choke another one down…. *sigh*

Not eating enough?

So yesterday evening I was going over my diet plan while putting together my meals for today, and it occurred to me maybe I’m not eating enough on this plan. Then again I really don’t want to eat anymore! So I guess it’s enough.

I went to the gym and met with my personal trainer yesterday. We got all done, and he says how do you feel? No clever come back, I just said “Tired.” I was, and then I forced myself to go do the tread mill and did 30 minutes there again. By the time I got home I was exhausted. I think I like the mid point of the work out the best, where the muscles aren’t completely expended, but they are warmed up and working. At the end lately I just want to take a nap! I asked if I needed to jog, because I don’t think I can yet, and he told me I shouldn’t ever have to jog. I don’t know if 30 minutes walking every night is enough! Maybe my goals are all crazy or something…. I feel at some point I will have to run.

 Funny, I keep feeling for muscles! I don’t know why, I know I shouldn’t really have any yet, I’ve only been to three training sessions. Though I have begun to work out on my own at home as well. I am trying to take things slow. I have a bad habit of going balls to the wall and then getting sore and quitting. I *want* to stick with this. I AM committed to this!

I found it interesting that when I noticed how much weight he was putting on the machines that I bothered to notice it was around 50lbs. Odd, I thought I would be weaker than that. I really haven’t worked my muscles consistently in eight years.
