Day 9 - 8:54pm

today was a good day. work out? NO. did i plan to? YES...but didnt happen. i did have my second colonic this morning - yay! however this time was more uncomfortable than the last. there was more "release" and with that comes discomfort of a couple of kinds. not painful though, just the discomfort that comes along with getting familiar with the process. i did feel good afterward. i go back for my third, and final one in this particular package, on thursday.

i weighed myself before i had the colonic and found that in the last 7 days i gained 3 pounds. yep, i was a whopping 108.5. dont get me wrong i am not one who is obsessed with the numbers of a scale, its just that i know that my desire to shed the fat and get down to muscle toning would definitely indicate a drop in numbers (since i am not seeking to bulk up with muscle, which would definitely cause an increase). however, i do have to take into consideration that the last time i weighed i had just come off of a cleanse and then a fast, so that was not a "realistic" and "real time" weight. with that in mind i am still below my norm which is 112. thank god...lol. PLUS i knew i would gain weight because i have been eating regular meals with snacks (although i am on fish for 30 days). the good thing this time is that i have been eating nothing but healthy food!

i had dinner with a middle/high school classmate who remembers me from my days of gymnastics, volleyball, cheerleading, band and majorette. he talked badly about my inability to work out like a champ. says i have some major mental blocks. while i did argue with him :) ... he is right... my blocks to abs and commitment ARE major. and because i am super competitive, our little debate has fueled me. im sure i will be hearing his words as i am struggling through tomorrow's workout :~( ... but i will see if it takes me to another level of commitment.

i didnt take pics of any of my meals today. breakfast and lunch were the usual - lol. i FORGOT to take one at dinner and i wish i would have because the presentation of my meal at the restaurant was phenomenal, not to mention it was most pleasing to my palate.

i did not nearly come close to having enough water today (bad me). and then i had sweet tea for dinner. and no there is nothing wrong with splurging every now and then but come on yall im so new on the boat that i dont have the right to s-p-l-u-r-g-e! once i achieve my results, splurgeville here i come ;~) but until then its called STRICT DIET. i could even be a little more strict until i see some cuts in the abs or that my arms look like the arms i knew most of my life. i'll see about that on tomorrow when i take a look at the meals i have planned for the rest of the week. i will scrutinize it and make the adjustments. what fun >-(

MEALS:

BREAKFAST: kashi blueberry waffle w honey and a banana

LUNCH: salad w balsamic vinaigrette dressing, water

SNACK: banana

DINNER: pappadeaux - almond crusted trout (topped with tomato and crab in a little brown sauce), butternut squash, fresh green beans and sweet tea (after all this is TEXAS)

i also attempted to make some zucchini bread this afternoon. didnt come out totally right...was not as firm as i wanted...not as cake-like." when i went back to see what i could have done wrong i realized where the recipe called for 1c of crushed pineapple, i used 1 can! thats the difference between 8 oz and 20 oz!!!!!!!!!!! uhh yea that would certainly make it more "liquidy" than normal!!!! BUT it tastes GREAT. just a little more bread pudding like if you will. and has more pineapple taste that it ordinarily would. normally you would not taste the pineapple while they would add a certain consistency and hint of flavor to the bread.
