Day 28

Coming clean...
It snowed like crazy here yesterday. I woke up a little earlier to shovel my back steps and a porch so that Chewie wouldn't break her leg going out in the morning. Here are some snow pics.
Chewie in the snow, AM.
The yard in the PM.

I was so sluggish at work. I even fell asleep at my desk for about 2 minutes. I as awaken by that startling head nod that happens when you fall asleep sitting up. I wanted to make it to Capoeira that night but by the time I got home from work all I wanted to do was curl up on the couch and watch a good movie as the snow fell outside. So that's exactly what I did. Instead of going to class or doing my PCP work out, I put on my PJs. I ate my PCP dinner and then I curled up on the couch with Chewie and my indulgence. A giant bowl of air popped popcorn with a little spray butter on it. Once the bowl was gone I still felt like I didn't do my indulgence any justice so I had a piece of a whole wheat baguette with some sugar-free strawberry jelly and a little more spray butter. I know it probably sounds lame to you but I liked it. I never made it through the movie. I passed out at 8:30. I woke up this morning still feeling like I could have slept another 6 hours, but I had to go to work. I'm feeling a little better but still in a pissy mood. I saw Patrick's email with the new portions and I am not happy about it. Even smaller than last week. I'm really really worried that my Capoeira training will have to take a back seat if I have to stick with these new exercises. There is no way my body will be able to handle both. I'm feeling very conflicted right now and rethinking if this program is even worth it.

Why the hell did I decide to sign up for this????

Day 1

Hello people of the internets,

The day I have been excited for and kind of dreading is finally here. It's day one of my 90, that's right I said 90, day Peak Condition Project. For the next 90 days I will be following a diet and exercise regime that is designed to help me become a TOTAL ASS KICKIN HOTTIE.

I am also required to record my progress via blog posts and weekly photos. Stay tuned for my day 1 photo. I'll add that tonight.

My first week's challenge is to eat only half of what I normally eat. Hmm...does that mean I can eat half a bacon cheeseburger or half a large fry. Ooh... maybe 1 slice of pizza instead of 2. Already, trying to cheat the system. No, really though, I never eat that stuff. I will try to stick to my normal routine of oatmeal or an egg white omelet for breakfast, salad or soup for lunch and chicken or fish for dinner with some sort of veggies on the side.

I have a feeling I will be STARVING!!! I don't do hungry well. In fact I don't get hungry I get HANGRY. It's an angry hunger that forces me to bite the heads off the people around me. Oh wait, but if I stick to the script then I can only bite off half a head at a time. Interesting.

Any way, I'm sure over the next 90 days I will be constantly asking myself, "Why the hell did I sign up for this?"

Currently my answers are:

• To see if I can actually do it
• To push myself out of my comfort zone
• To feel healthier from the inside out
• To shed a couple useless pounds (obviously)
• And the biggest reason simply is, TO KICK SOME ASS!

Let's get this party started bitches!

ps. I want to give a big shout out to Emily, aka Pingo, for inspiring me to do this. She's a totally toughie now. Check out her results here.
