Feeling all kinds of bloated today
Yesterday was my free day and trust me I took every advantage of it I could. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted all day long, I started with two chocolate chip via tops, some zucchini bread and an apple for breakfast. I don't remember what I had but I know I snacked my way through Sam's while we were shopping there. For lunch I had some brown rice and two and a half chicken enchiladas and finished it off with the cup cake I had been thinking about all week. I also finished the frosting off of my wife's cup cake and my daughters cup cake as well. For dinner I had pasta and meatballs, a salad and something like 5 cookies to finish it off. I went to bed feeling quote full and pretty uncomfortable. When I woke up this morning I was not all that hungry but had to eat since I am on the last day of week 2! I ate some whole wheat eggos and hard boiled eggs now it is almost time for my second meal. After breakfast I waited about a half hour and went for my 20 minute run, this time I pushed myself a little harder than the last run and almost made it around my neighborhood 4 times before the twenty minutes were up. I really got the workout I shot for this morning doing that. I am starting to feel a little more like myself but I think it is going to take the rest of the day to really get there. I have to make a few changes to my menu today since when I planned it I didn't plan of finishing the leftover enchiladas yesterday and forgot that we were leaving the house for a family adventure. Not a huge deal since I already have planned what I am going to do to still get my six meals in today. it is almost time for my next meal and I don't know that I feel up to eating it yet but I have to so I will start making it soon. In the body for life book Bill says he wants us to have the free day so that our bodies know there is always food available so that it does not go into starvation mode and to remind us how we felt when we were not eating right and exercising like he has us do in his program. I can tell you I feel like I used to when I was overweight today and I don't like it one bit. I am looking forward to the week moving forward so I can get back to the high energy Justin I am used to feeling like and not this bloated uncomfortable Justin that I feel like now. If I learned one thing from yesterday it is that I don't feel worried that I will slip back into my old habits and put the 115 pounds that I have lost this year back on. In order to do that I will have to feel like I did at the end of yesterday and the first part of today a lot more often than I would care to. Tomorrow is my next upper body workout and I have added more weight to a lot of the exercises again and plan to really push myself, come back in the morning and see how it went. I am hoping for some big results.
