friday 5.30.08 / 3:13pm (boot camp day 12 / LUNCH)

today has been a good day. FULL, but great. im pretty exhausted from a lack of sleep but unfortunately i have quite a bit to do. once i wash my hair i will be able to chill a bit before getting out for the evening. anywho...here's lunch:

LUNCH: almond crusted river trout (leftover from last nights dinner at pappadeaux), steamed broccoli, salad (with brianna's blush wine vinaigrette dressing) with water.

i almost messed up. i was going to take 2 bites of the infamous reese's peanut butter cup cheesecake (also left over from pappadeaux)...BUT i put my willpower to work and REFUSED. i remembered that i have my fat free and no sugar added popsicles in the freezer. YAYYYYYY! so i ate a strawberry popsicle instead. it really took the edge off.

well thats it for me for now. later!

friday 5.30.08 / 11:30am (boot camp day 12 / breakfast)

today was tough because i didnt get much sleep last night. that made getting up for boot camp difficult...okay IMPOSSIBLE. i didnt get up!! so i tossed and turned and tossed and turned, finally falling asleep. THEN i had a horrible dream which woke me up. so does anyone agree that maybe i wasnt comfortable missing boot camp, even though i was a zombie? uhhh, yea.

thankfully sandi has an 8:30am class at a park even closer to my house...so i went. and i swear she had to be smoking something this morning because that workout was CRAZY!!!!!!!!! oh my god. but the good news is this - i hung in there. i actually saw today that i was able to complete exercises that i was not able to complete when i started. there were certain ab exercises where, in the beginning, i literally could not do ONE. well, today i did many. i was like a kid...inside i was screaming "im doing it mommy!!!" lol. THAT was inspiration in and of itself. and what if i hadnt gotten on up to go, i would have missed learning of my progress and more importantly, being able to use my very own testimony as my motivation to keep going.

afterward i went to wal mart, randalls and the bank...lolligagging as usual. i had to say to myself, "jordyn what are you doing!? you are tired...go home and eat breakfast so you can rest!" so i did...eventually.

BREAKFAST: scrambled eggs with spinach (cooked in olive oil and sea salt), 1/2 whole wheat english muffin, red cherries, pineapples, small bowl of special k cinnamon pecan cereal in silk vanilla soy milk and 4 oz. orange juice

WEDNESDAY 5.28.08 / 8:05am (update, boot camp day 10 & breakfast)

okay so im behind on the blog. this weekend was not just a holiday, but it was the closing weekend of my show (which means there were 4 shows and the cast party) AND i had a get together to attend for my high school after sunday afternoon's show. yesterday, well come on...it was the holiday!

so im not gonna update my weekend meals in detail but let me say this...i was OFF the wagon. i didnt fall off, i carefully climbed off of it and enjoyed myself - lol. weekend indulgences:

friday - cast party (small portion of spinach pasta and 2 1/2 drinks). friday wasnt so bad because i didnt eat dinner since i knew i was going to the party (which also means i ate well after 10pm because we were not done at the theatre until about 10:30.

saturday - no breakfast because i was worn out from the night before. lunch - lubys. i did well with baked fish, cabbage, pinto beans and a wheat roll. BUTTTT...i had the most scrumptious piece of german chocolate cake. YUMMMMMY! and i had some good ole sweet tea (this is texas, remember?)

sunday - only a banana for breakfast because i was worn out from the night before (yes seems like i just said that...oh i did, on saturday). no lunch. i had to rush and get ready to go to the get together so i planned to eat there. there i had 12 boiled shrimp and a drink (hurricane). yep, broke my fish diet because there was nothing on the menu for me to order. thats why when eating healthy you have to plan.

monday - cereal (ezekial 4:9 cinnamon raisin). cabbage, green beans, mashed potatoes. okay this is the kicker - hung out with my sis and some friends at chili's - cajun chicken sandwich (only ate 1/4 of it), fries....and dessert - molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. YEAHHHH! i felt yuckie after eating the sandwich...i guess because i was not used to that kind of food anymore. i splurged and was happy to do it. i needed to feel human for a minute - lol. at least i drank water.

so TODAY - let me make a statement here. I AM TIRED OF THIS!!!! anyone who knows me knows i am HONEST, almost to a fault sometimes. i am especially honest about where i am with things, people and situations. im just tired of waking up on m/w/f...im tired of grocery shopping...im tired of eating healthy. i think im just in a general funk because i have so much to do but i needed to get that out.

with that said - i got up at 5:10am and took my pitiful self to boot camp - LOL! it was a little much today because of the long weekend but i hung in there far better than i expected i would. i dont even feel like recalling the exercises. forgive me, but i am doing well just to be back on here. i will do better after today, i promise. ive just got to find my enthusiasm again.

a good friend and i are planning to really go all out the next few weeks. fruit, veggies and water only. i suppose that is somewhat of a cleanse. i will add my veggie caps back into my diet. 3 weeks is a long time so i will rethink that or restructure the diet. i just want to get all i can out of my boot camp experience. i have some physical goals that i would like to reach so i need to get a bit radical. i will update once i decide exactly what the diet will look like.

so i went to the grocery store after boot camp. i notice that i stroll through the store like i have all day. the staff probably think im homeless and i am using the store as my dwelling. so anyway, while there i got a small hint of a second wind on this thing. it felt good to be filtering through produce, picking up the healthy things i like and reading labels. so i just may be able to do this. well i didnt like the whopping $40 i spent but i did get fruit and veggies to last me through the remainder of the week, so thats really not bad.

BREAKFAST - bowl of cereal in vanilla soymilk (special k, cinnamon pecan - and i added some sunmaid raisins) with a banana and water.
