Wk 5, Day 5 (Fri, 23-Aug-2013)

THOUGHTS:

• Ever since I started with not drinking water throughout my meal, the past couple weeks, I've found myself a lot hungrier and eating more and having more cravings.  I don't know if that's coincidence or what.  I know when I was drinking cold water throughout my meal, my appetite was significantly less, wasn't having any cravings, drinking more water throughout the day.  Ugggh.  I'm not liking my weight is up.
• My hips, abductors, adductors, abs were pretty sore from what I believe is from those leg raises.  Wow, they really got worked.  I wasn't in the mood to do the Body Weight Flow exercises, which really are challenging.  Also, I did not do my shoulder exercises.
• We are getting better gas mileage as we park our SUV under trees in our neighborhood so that it doesn't get the full on sun.  I wished we'd started doing this earlier in the summer as it would've saved us much more money.
• Applied for a part-time job working with kids.  Hopefully that will just compliment what I'm doing and not stress me out.  Hopefully I get the job as that job will help pay for car repairs and a new computer for me, which my husband has agreed to build.

ACTIONS:

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, probiotic, MSM.
• Drank water (a 48 oz QT cup), but since I'm drinking less cold water, not drinking as much as I'd like.
• Got my workout done.
• Used the Acu-Masseur while the kids were in karate to work out trigger points in my calves, quads, hams, IT band, neck, traps, oblique areas.  Ow!!

LIFE TO DOs:

• Did a little grocery shopping at FC after school.
• Took kids to karate.
• Finish Friday's sub con work.  - got almost everything done and sent back.  One job has to finish tomorrow morning.

SLEEP:

• 10:45 pm - 3:00 am (4.25 hrs and some change) - My husband was just going to bed, and he kept shining the flashlight into my eyes and this made me wake up and from 3:00-6:00, I couldn't hardly get back to sleep, so I maybe got a total of 1/2 hr here.  I asked him to not do that ever again.  He's done it often and thinks it's funny, but it isn't. 

FOOD JOURNAL:

Breakfast (7:00 am) -  2 egg sliders made by my daughter. 

Breakfast 2  (8:15 am) - a Bacon Croissant sandwich from JIB.
