Ok, already I'm tired of the double workout schedule.
It wouldn't be so bad if I could do the workouts one after the other, but this doing one in the morning and one in the evening business sucks. That's two showers a day, at least. If {C} decides to fully potty train, then it's probably more. Also, by the end of the day, my motivation is 0. :-P Yeah, yesterday was awesome with the running, but when the BYU game is on in the background, in overtime, and Brandon is yelling loud enough to wake the dead, or even {E}, I don't really want to go to the corner and do a workout in the periphery. Just sayin.
BUT! Good news! I did, in fact, fix my heart rate monitor. Yay! I had it all put together several times, and I couldn't get the start/stop button to work, (which is kind of an essential button), and after 20 minutes, Brandon remembered a piece we had taken off when we started the endeavor. And now it is fixed!
So cheers to fixing my watch and doing total body cardio this morning!
I also ate food today...so...that was good, too. I made an egg/egg white omelet with spinach and parmesan, topped with homemade salsa and grape tomatoes for lunch. That was the high light of my day food-wise. That and I snuck a few sips of Brandon's Dirty Pepsi. *Shhh! Don't tell!* It was glorious.
And then I had an awful dip in my menu (catastrophe music blaring in the background, something symphonic). I made my simple, awesome chicken enchiladas, quick and easy, and they turned out kinda yucky. I don't know if the corn tortillas were just on the edge of decency, or maybe my shredded chicken was on its way out, but they just weren't up to par :-(
After sneaking some of Brandon's "STUPID BYU!!!! WHY ARE YOU LOSING???!!!!" treats, I decided I should do my pilates workout as scheduled. I did manage to get Brandon to take a couple pictures before overtime started, so, that was a major accomplishment :-) He must really love me.
After I finished the workout, it was FINALLY time for my Shakeology.
Can I tell you a secret? I have not particularly enjoyed this month's flavor. Greenberry was great, I have tasted the chocolate and vegan chocolate, and I prefer the taste of the vegan chocolate. But Brandon prefers fruit flavors to chocolate most days, and since I share my Shakeo with him, for the time being, I figured "Hey, maybe the vegan Tropical Strawberry will be better than the regular Strawberry flavor." Not so. At first it strongly reminded me of a pepto bismol mix with cough syrup. Not pleasant. I've developed a tolerance for it now, but I've still tried to find the right mix-ins so I might actually enjoy it. Today, I found a winner. Hallelujah!
May I present Tropical Strawberry, mixed with one small banana and ~4 Tbsp of Nesquik. Also included: a few ice cubes and about 16 oz of very cold water.
I would also like to point out, that had I a different personality, I could have tried it once, talked to customer service, and switched this bag for a different flavor with the greatest of ease, free of charge. Or, once I finished it, I could have sent it back for a full refund. Beachbody is a wonderful company. 100% guaranteed.
Having said that, the nutrition is way worth the struggle of drinking the "not my favorite" flavor I chose. This stuff makes me feel amazing. I am so much healthier, I can FEEL the difference. You just have to try it for yourself, though, cuz this one is MINE.
Shakeology schpill done. Tomorrow: Upper Fix and Cardio Fix (I think.) See ya tomorrow!
