Day 45 - Woohoo Half Way There!!

1. I can't believe we are half way through our journey. Congratulations to all my fellow Peakers.

2. A giant THANK YOU to Patrick for eliminating yogurt from my diet this week. I heart you!

3. There's nothing like a swift kick to the head to get you to esquiva or querda correctly. Yesterday we were training querda, a Capoeira take down. And for some stupid reason I froze and Ana got me real nice in my left ear. I'm not going to lie, that s**t hurt but, you better believe I learned that move real quick after that. Thanks Ana for not taking it easy on me :)

4. Jeebus, I slept forever today. Went to bed at 12 last night, woke up a 10am, ate breakfast and then went back to bed at 12 and woke up at 5pm. I guess my body needed it.

5. I love egg whites.

6. If I don't have a rockin badonk-a-donk after 160 lunges I give up.

7. Starting to see some more definition and I really don't care if the scale isn't moving.

8. Found out we are having another Capoeira retreat in June. So excited because I know I'll be in great shape for it and bikini weather.

9. Stretching is my best friend.

10. I think I have to break up with dried fruit. It's going to be sad. I hope it doesn't take it too hard.

Day 3

My arch nemesis, Saturday night, strikes again. (Argh...I shake my fist at you) I went to a small party last night. I was able to stay away from the cheese doodles and pizza. However, I did have a fair share of wine. I believe it was about 3 glasses. (definitely half the norm but I still feel a little bit guilty) I can't believe how quickly the alcohol hit me though. Even if I tried to drink what I normally would I don't think I would have been able to since I'm only eating half of my normal diet there just wasn't enough to absorb the drink. Anymore and I probably would have fallen on my face. Well, no, not really but you get the idea.

I'm off to a very slow start today, but that's no different than any other Sunday. I've had a slight headache since about 5pm yesterday. I've been drinking a ton of water and took some Tylenol but it's still there. I know it's because I'm simply not eating enough and am always FREAKING HUNGRY. I am used to eating every 3 hours. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and small snacks in between each. I'm still on that schedule, but this half crap is killing me. I know it will all pay off in the end so I just need to stay strong.

Well I really should get my ass up and do something. I need to de-furify my apartment, my dog is a shedding machine, and I have to get my PCP work out done. I'm sure I'll be feeling much better once I work out.

Hang in there my fellow Peakers together we can get through this!! Here's a little video to keep us inspired.

Day 2

It's Day 2 people and I'm hanging in there.

I was able to stick with it and eat only a half a cup of cereal this morning and then cranked through my PCP work out in about 10 mins. I would however, NOT recommend jumping rope straight after eating cereal. Ugh...I think I could actually hear it swishing around in my belly.

Then it was off to Capoeira class for an hour and a half. I definitely lost steam half way through class. Professor Nagi had us alternate between training 2 on 2 and doing a crap load of push ups. I'm hoping that the combination of Capoeira training and the Peak won't be the death of me.

I was STARVING after class so I made my standard Saturday brunch.

1 Egg 3 egg white omelet with steamed arugula, mushrooms and a tiny bit of parmesan cheese

Morning star sausage

Multi-grain light english muffin

Side salad with arugula, mushrooms, red wine vinegar and pepper.

This is what half of my normal portion looks like. Not too bad.

I'm still kind of hungry though, but I'm definitely feeling better. I don't feel like biting anyone's head off at the moment. :)

Also, here are my day 1 pics. I absolutely HATE them. I can't find my digital camera so I had to take them with my phone. The quality is terrible and they look a bit shady, like I'm sexting some wack job who is into girls who work out. Unclean, unclean. Haha. Oh well I had to get 'em done. I'm going to borrow a friend's real camera next time.
