Catching Up...

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!  Wow, it has been long over a week since I last posted...and SO much has gone on since then.  From having to travel to be in my cousin's wedding, to being overwhelmed at work, to the ups and downs of love, I've been all over the place.  One thing that has remained constant has been my daily boot camp program! 

I've grown to look forward to training with my group of morning go-getters!!  I just finished up my second full week of the boot camp program.  2 weeks down, 4 to go!!  I must admit though...I ate really really bad this entire week.  All of my bad eating was driven off of pure emotion.  I had a couple of "down" days...and I cannot believe how I let those less than stellar emotional days send me to the McDonald's drive thru!! 

I almost felt like someone addicted to a bad drug...sitting in the drive thru salivating at the mouth, shaking and all.  I tore into those salty, crispy french fries...ravaging the contents of my bag, as if I hadn't eaten in ages!  It was unbelievable...licking my fingers and everything!  I was in a bad bad bad head space...and I'm glad I made it over.

As I start my third week of boot camp tomorrow I remain positive and motivated.  I purchased some new running shoes this weekend - Asics Gel Nimbus.

My others had no shock absorbency and the lack of support was causing my feet to hurt terribly during my work out.  When I tried them on, it was almost like walking on clouds!  I could tell an immediate difference compared to the way my other sneakers felt.  I cant wait to test them out tomorrow morning!

I stocked my fridge a day or so ago with plenty of fresh fruit, veggies, and lean proteins. Oh - I've also been turned on to some protein shakes by EAS - Myoplex. They are rather tasty and a perfect snack during the day.  My lunch has already been packed for tomorrow, complete with fruits and veggies to snack on during the day.  I will have to pay special attention to getting in my 5 to 6 small meals each day...and drinking at least 100 ounces of water daily.

Alrighty, let's get it!!
