Weekend Update

Hello! I'm back. Yes, I've been MIA for a few days. Let's take it back a few days...

March 10: I didn't work out. I was exhausted and came home from work and just vegged out. It was worth it. I truly needed it. So, my calorie count was zero.

March 11: I, again, didn't work out. I had planned not to work out this day. I intended to do it Saturday. I went up to see my brother and nephew Friday for dinner. It took an hour to get up to meet them and then an hour home. Needless to say, it was a big of a long drive and my motivation was lacking when I got home. I knew it would be that way.

March 12: I had planned to get up early this morning and knock out both Friday and Saturday's workouts. As it turned out, I was - again - too tired. So, I slept in for a while...until about 9. By that time, I had to get up and get ready for the day as I was meeting friends. No work out, no make up work out.

Today was a rest day so I wasn't terribly worried about. With the weather changing like it is around here - cold, warm, back and forth - my head pounds with pressure headaches. Today was no different. I am hoping that the weather can just pick a temperature and stay there...or at least pick a season!

Tomorrow is the just the fit test...or that's all that I am supposed to do. I am going to (as of now) plan to do that but also tack on the work out from Friday - Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. At least I'll feel better about missing the weekend work outs.

On another note, I am toying with knocking carbs out of my diet for lent to see how things go. I know I'll see a huge weight loss, but I am more interested in seeing how my body feels and if I can actually work around the carbs. I have been doing some reading and learned that there is the potential that carbs are more addictive than cocaine. Because of this addiction, our metabolism is having havoc wreaked on it. I'm wondering if a change in my diet might also help me sleep a bit better or at least give me more energy throughout the day. Let me also just tell you that I am - self admittedly - a carb junkie. I love: bread, pasta, rice, bagels. I am pretty good about not overindulging too often. But I am anxious to see if cutting them out will help. I think I will toy with the idea for another week or so and see how I feel then.

Hope you had a great weekend!
