Love 'em and Hate 'em

The most uncomfortable thing to put on and take off. However, without one - cardio = DEATH.

My future BFF, Katy, understands my plight COMPLETELY

I own 3. For someone who works out 5 times a week, I don't think that is enough.

While we are on the subject of not enough...

SOCKS! 

I never seem to have enough white socks. I went about a year or so with like 3 pairs because I just hate them that much. The only thing I hate more than washing (and matching) socks is washing silverware... don't get me started on that.


In other news, I looked more carefully at the updated meal plan. I realized that for the past 3 days I have not been eating frequently enough.

GET IT TOGETHER, GIRL! 

Also, it's hard to eat that many times a day. I have to remember what to eat at each meal... well I have a chart, but I have to look it up. Then I have to make sure I'm eating the proper measurements of proteins and complex carbs etc . It's not rocket science... just takes attention to detail -which is a challenge for "big picture" people like myself.

I will say that I think I that there is no way I will be hungry in 3 hours, but sure enough exactly 3 hours after a meal, hunger strikes. Not just hungry, but borderline RAVENOUS!  This is a dangerous thing, because it makes me want to eat pancakes or taco bell or a Snickers ice cream bar.

Today was my prep day. I not only went to the grocery store, but I also cooked and cut everything up and measured them out into proper portions and put them in baggies. This way I have no excuses.

Even though I spent over $50 at the grocery store, I'm sure I will run out of food in like 2 or 3 days.

I think this weekend I will scour the interwebs for yummy & healthy recipes to make my meals more exciting.
