So my candy consumption has reduced… not substantially but I’ve gotten better. Instead of 2 packs of each candy – I had one. (Trust me – this is progress for me!) There is an empty desk next to mine at work where ALL of the Halloween candy for my team has been placed. ANY time I get up from my desk I have to walk by it – a bowl of truffles, another bowl of chocolate candies, another bowl of candy-candies (rockets, gummies etc).
It’s madness, I tell ya!
For breakfast today I just had a blueberry muffin that my manager brought into work for the team. I didn’t really have a chance to snack after that due to a long meeting at work and oodles of work to do after the meeting. Also, I had to leave work for 2hrs to do class #3 of 5 of my in-car drivers training.
For lunch I had some leftover Shepherd’s pie which was AMAZING! What is it with beef dishes always tasting better on day 2?
When I got home I only had a few minutes before I needed to head out and meet up with Angie to go to the gym for a Fit Mix class.
We seriously have NO food in our place – haven’t gotten groceries in forever, so all I could muster up for my pre-workout grub was a small bowl of raisin bran cereal.
Let me tell you folks… Fit Mix is NO JOKE! We thought we were signing up for more of a Fit Form class but nuh uh. Not so much. This gave our Booty Camp workouts a run for their money! It was high intensity 95% of the class. Lunges, squats, football drills, planks, the list seriously goes on. I was DRIPPING with sweat, my muscles were shaking, I felt the heat coming off my body. It was quite intense! My head is still a little discombobulated!
This was my first workout SINCE Booty Camp (terrible, I know eh?) so I was not in the best shape to go into such a high intensity class but I’M GLAD I DID! Just stepping into the gym made me miss it (I haven’t been to the gym in over a year…) so hopefully this kickstarts my gym motivation! If this doesn’t, I know I have the Halibloggers to rely on for motivation!
I got a wonderful comment from Angie today saying how she thinks I look beautiful the way I am… but like anyone else, I have crazy insecurities. To me, my belly + arse need a LOT of work… they are my least favorite areas – specifically my belly… I’m also wishing I could tone my arms some.
(Seriously – these girls are FREAKING wonderful!)
After class, Angie & I headed to Sobeys where I picked up some post-workout grub.
I grabbed some pre-hard boiled & peeled eggs (honestly – it looks and sounds gross but these suckers are SO good and SO convenient!)
I had half of this package of sushi – DBF got the rest.
Soon I will be snacking on this wonderful fruit dish:
Angie was SO kind to give me a couple of her POM coupons she received. I picked up two POM beverages – a peach POM drink & Blueberry POM drink.
I was a dumbass and forgot my water SOMEWHERE (I still can’t find it) so as SOON as I got into my car I popped open the Peach Pom drink and started chugging away.
Here’s a pic of me at home enjoying this amazing drink (still sweating my arse off)!
Next up on the gym voyage is Fit Ride at Nubodys (spin class). I am SO excited but a little scared at the same time. I am remembering a blog post from eons ago from a fellow bloggie that talked about her first spin class.
I know my head – and I KNOW I’ll be going through some of the same terror in my head at some point during the class. I am always terrified of vomiting while I work out (I RARELY if EVER puke – from drinking or otherwise) so I just don’t look forward to something like that. I think I’d be totally humiliated! I also know how paranoid I can get and how I can psych myself out. Hopefully this does not happen tomorrow… we will see!
