ok.. this morning was a slow start.. I just felt like I needed to sit and veg for a little bit after this past week and weekend.. so I sat and ate breakfast .. and just sat some more.
I was completely off on my eats yesterday.. ate some of Cats birthday cake and everything! .. this morning I woke up wanting oatmeal but when I walked into the kitchen and got the left over sugary cereals down for the kids to eat .. I gave in and had a bowl of fruit loops! Fruit Loops are my weakness. Not being allowed any sugary cereal as a child I went to college and literally lived on fruit loops! seriously!.. so I need to throw them out today so they will no longer be a temptation to me. .. the good news is.. it was only ONE bowl! .. I usually eat 4 or 5!.. (crazy huh?)
So.. after a aweful start this morning I got my shoes laced up and headed to the garage.
I did 3 Bs today.. I might be off from last week.. but I really wanted to do 3bs instead of upper today.. since I missed on friday I guess it didnt really matter :)
Leg Ext. 4 sets of 15
Lunges on the Smith 3 sets of 12 (i wanted to do one more but my legs were shaking!!)
lat pull downs 4 sets of 12 and then bent over rows 24
bi curls 4 sets of 12 and then burnouts of 24
Eats are the hard thing for me.. so I will take it one meal at a time today.... but I do feel successful because I got my workout done..
winter starting to show up down here.. a front came through last night .. it was 40 degrees when I got up this morning.. I know thats nothing to some people but I am dreading the cold weather.... I want to know how people get up and go run outside when its cold out? even all bundled up! .. how do they do that? mind over body I guess huh?
ok.. all for now.. have to go gets some reading done to the kids :) .. and drink some protein!
how was your workout?
UPDATE:

UPDATE #2
well.. today went well for the most part.. I had my issues this morning and had a serious sugar withdrawal for about 2 hours but after lunch i started feeling much much better (normal :) .. so I am happy I made it through the day even with my fruit loop bobble :) .. yipee.
and a quote that struck me tonight when i was reading.. and it seems to relate to my "bfl journey"
"I can undertake and persevere even without hope of success" any guesses who said it AND what book i read it from ?
For me.. this quote means "even without the guarantee of success.. I will still try my hardest and not give up.. because what is interesting is that its not all about what you get out of this physically .. its the journey and how it changes you in other ways"
would love to hear your take on the quote :)
blessings
more after my cardio tomorrow :) (I think i might just dance dance dance)

anyway, good job on your undertaking and success! Fruitloops were my acu staple meal too.
William of Orange was a very busy guy, undertaking lots of less-than-hopeful ventures, and persevering throught them. http://wy.essortment.com/whowasprincew_rlbt.htm
