May the 4th Be with Me

Four days into May and so far, I'm doing well. I had a nice long sleep last night - woke up this morning and *almost* had melted reduced fat cheese on toast for breakfast, but then changed my mind when I saw the portobello mushrooms in the fridge and made myself some melted cheese on mushrooms with a little greek yogurt on top.

They weren't as tasty as I thought they would be - maybe they needed a little salsa? Maybe a poached egg on top? Something...

Then, I managed to fit in a 1.5 hour walk around my lovely city. It was such a beautiful day in Vancouver today - I even wore my sun glasses and no sweater! It's like summer has arrived.

Then I got home and I was lazing around. I impulsively decided to give the 30 Day Shread another go. In case you don't remember, for the first time ever, I gave the 30 Day Shread (which is only 20 minutes) a try last month and not only did I almost die, I could barely move for days afterwards! It was shameful!

After doing this monster video (on facking level one) again today, my whole body was shaking for a good hour afterwards, so I took a shower and am now praying that I am able to move when I wake up tomorrow.

While I was doing the video with my 8 pound weights, I realized - hey, this is what 8 pounds feels like.
I lifted the weight over and over agin trying to imagine caring that weight around with me everywhere I go - I lost 9 lbs last month - one pound more than that weight! It's hard to feel the different that a mere nine pounds makes on your body. Feeling that 8 pound weight - I'm more determined now to lose another 8 pounds, and another, and another, until i'm finally at a healthy weight!
