Yet...
Today was harder than the first two days. Coming out of work, literally EVERYONE on the platform waiting for the streetcar was smoking. I craved a cigarette sooo bad! So to restrain myself I immediately called a friend, and she kindly talked me out of buying, borrowing or stealing cigarettes from the people there. But it wasn't easy. I admit that.
Diet went very well today, as stated, restraining my self from eating everything I can get a hold of; not so much a problem.
But then; Excercise time! I waited 'till I had the house all to myself, knowing I would be panting and sighing like a deer in a bearclamp. It's just not a sound that should be shared. :)
So I started off pretty happy. Headphones on. Feeling pretty good about myself.
But after 60 second plank #4
I was becoming more and more troubled
To the point where the I didn't care if I was excercising next to, or in the kitty litter box, I just wanted it to be over!
*On a different note; if this is what I look like while doing 60 second planks, I do NOT want to know what face I make while in labour. EVER.*
So after round 3 I needed motivation. I had to reward myself for each round. Before this challenge I would have rewarded myself with food. Or a cigarette. Or both. But that was no good now.
So this shows how debilitating this whole process is, because I actually 'rewarded' myself by....stacking coasters. A coaster for each round. 5 coasters meant I was done.
See? Only two more to go!
So then I only needed two more rounds. Facebooking on my handheld with other derby girls while trying to get air after another plank really really helped a lot.
After the last plank I was exhausted.
Guess what song was playing on my I-pod?
Do it again....by QOTSA...
I am supersticious, but...
HELL NO!
Ok, well, maybe tomorrow then.
For today, I made my stack!
