A bad Saturday and getting serious in the gym

Well literally if its a food that I shouldn't eat - today I ate it.  I don't know what got into me today except that my body was dying for foods that don't agree with my new lifestyle ALL DAY.  I started off okay, had my egg white and veggie omelette and went to step class.  From there it went downhill.  I had my leftover homemade broccoli soup for lunch but its really not a great choice for me - there is cheese and milk in it and its just too rich for me now.  Combined with that I also had some whole wheat crackers and cheese - another two no no's.  I then proceeded to not have an afternoon snack.  Tom went out tonight and Avah was at a birthday party so I popped into the oven mini pizzas and french fries for Jack and I.  I did make a side salad for me with chicken in it so at least I got some greens and protein but cripes - what was I thinking?  Now Im guzzling water trying to undo some of the damage.  Already thinking about tomorrow and how I can redeem myself - egg white omelette again, lots of veggies and protein at lunch and supper.  Little or no dairy and grains.  And possibly even a visit to the gym even though I usually take Sundays off - if not a gym visit then hopefully the weather is good and we can get a long walk in with the dog.  Holy smokes.

On a positive note - I spent a lot of time yesterday reading my new Oxygen magazine and going over old issues and combining that with some programs I have from Rita - I made 3 new weight programs for myself.  Starting Monday I'm going on a 6 week intense gym program - 6 days/week - 3 days weights, 2 days step class and 1 day pilates reformer but working even harder than before and really trying to tone up.  A lady that i see in the gym some times but don't really know very well stopped me at the event on Thursday night to say that she is amazed by my transformation and how much more sculpted my arms and legs are looking.  That really motivated me.  Coach Rita is leaving the country this week for a month so I won't have her to lean on at all so I need to really get myself motivated and going on my own.  I spoke with another girl at the gym who is a fitness model like Rita and she is going to help me with some new programs and ideas to really get as fit as I can.  Its nice to have another persons opinions and ideas to mix in with Ritas and my own.  I'm excited for all of this to happen.

So, not a great day in the world of Sarah - now as my weight has stabilized its not even the worry that I might gain a pound or two - its the feeling of "wow, I really let myself and my body down today, what was I thinking?"  My body likes to feel full and satisfied with clean foods now and not the crap that I ate at supper tonight.  I only have this one really fabulous and healthy body and I want to keep it this way and eating pizza and fries is not the way.  I feel bloated, heavy, tired, really thirsty - prob from the overload of sodium that I just consumed.  Damn!!!
