I do apologize for being late in getting this written. Yesterday was such a busy day. I had a busy morning but I did get my breakfast in on time and my snack before I had to head out to train with Larissa. I just love her to death. She is so good and motivates me so much. Yesterday my lower back was bothering me (probably from my big rear-end) and she told me that we needed to strengthen my lower back muscle so we worked on that for a bit. She had me lean against one of those big balls against a wall and hold 10 lb weights in each hand and then I did just normal squats. She then removed the ball and had me bend slowly over and slowly drop the weights down to my feet and then slowly come up. It sounds really easy but it wasn't after about the 10th rep but it sure felt good to my back. We did some upper body weights and then we stretched and then I went home.
I got home and drank my protein shake and started getting ready for my consultation at My Fit Foods. I was real excited about that. I could tell by my Body Bugg that I wasn't doing something right because my total fats were over 70 grams and one day my sodium was too high. My protein had been really high as well. There must be more to this than just picking out 3 meals and a snack. I ate lunch before I went and was awesome. It was grilled shrimp with dirty rice and it had a couple sticks of asparagus on the top of it. It was spicy and oh so good!
I got down to My Fit Foods and had to wait for Daniel as he was finishing up with another couple who had signed up for a 21 day challenge. When he finally got through we discussed so many things. What I had been eating over the last few weeks and he told me that he wasn't a Dr. and he wasn't going to yell at me but it was important that I tell him the truth so he could better know how to guide me to get the best benefit of the 21 Day Challenge. He had a small book that we went through that had so much information in it. Some of the things it talked about was drinking coffee and why it is important to give it up and I'm telling you when I read what it said I looked at him and said "I'm Done!" It totally grossed me out and made me wonder if drinking coffee was one of the reasons why I wasn't losing weight very well I can tell you this, we are going t find out. We also went over sugar substitutes and what they do to our bodies and that was pretty gross as well. They had a article that they did on their Facebook page about diet sodas and all that was bad for our bodies and metabolism. They went on to tell that the did their own experiment with a can of Diet Sprite. It took 40 bottles of their perfectly pH balanced water to bring that can of Diet Sprite into balance. Does that gross you out or what? I do plan to copy what they said about the coffee probably in tomorrow's blog. This is all so new and interesting to me and I want to share it!
We finished up and we loaded up my car with bottles, supplements and food and they sent me on my way. My brain and body were tired by the time I got home and got the food unloaded in the refrigerator. Mark got home and we had dinner and then I went over with him all that I had learned and he was surprised by all the information that they had given me. He then went out to the refrigerator and sorted out the meals and days for the two of us and brought today's food in and put it in the refrigerator in the house. He went to bed and I wasn't far behind.!
Stay tuned! There is lots of information to share!!!
I'm so glad that I have made my way back! It feel so good!!!!
