These past few days have been hard for me and Kathleen. We didn’t realize how dependent we are on sugar and how many products have sugar in them. Yesterday and today have been the hardest days. I have felt so tried and mentally foggy…
Last night I picked up some food at KFC for Kathleen…a grilled chicken breast and green beans. I was trying to be a good friend so I opened the container to get rid of the biscuit that is so tempting. Instead, I sat at a traffic light smelling the biscuit and imagining the taste! I felt so silly sniffing food that I rolled down my window and threw it out as I was getting on the interstate. That has been my lowest moment!
That brings me to today…today has been exhausting! Maybe my body is still in shock from all the exercising and diet changes, but I feel like I could sleep for years. I made it though work this morning and all my classes this afternoon but still had to make it through boot camp with Rachel.
Kathleen assured me the boot camp class wouldn’t be too intense, “similar to the Jillian Michaels DVD” she said….she was mistaken. This boot camp was like Jillian on crack…like kick boxing in hyper speed…it was HARD! But, somehow (through sweat and tears) we finished the class.
After class we talked to Rachael about how rotten we are feeling and she said that is normal for a few days. She told us to be sure we were getting enough calories and suggested we write them down in a journal. Then the best news ever….she told us we could have sweet potatoes! Finally, I feel like I can survive this “lifestyle change”…I know I CAN DO THIS!
