If it were easy.....

….. then everyone would do it.  That’s what I have to keep telling myself.  There are days when I hop out of the bed, ready to go…can’t wait to get to the gym.  Then there are days like today, when I have to drag myself there.  I’m always glad that I do though.  Got through my workout, even though I don’t feel like I put enough into it.  I gave about 85%, I’d say.  I usually try to give it all I have. 

I’m afraid I’m getting bored with it.  Since I went and worked out with the free weights, I just dread doing those circuits on the machines.  I have to make myself do a lot of the exercises.  But I do make myself.

I’m also having trouble getting all of my calories in.  It’s hard to find high calorie, low fat foods.  I ate and ate and ate yesterday until I literally felt bad, trying to get in those cals, but still didn’t hit my goal.  I feel like I’m stuffing myself!  So, somehow I have to find a way to work in some different foods.  I’ve heard people say that they just can’t get enough calories in for the day and I really never believed them.  But now I see why!  When you eat healthier, it’s just hard to eat that much. Plus, when I’m on a 12 hour shift, it’s really hard to stop and eat.  I literally did not sit down today except for a short lunch break.

Tomorrow is another day, though and hopefully I’ll have a better drive.  It’s strictly a cardio day, which isn’t too hard at all.  I mean, I sweat like a pig and feel like I’m going to vomit when I get through with the HIIT on the elliptical, but it’s certainly doable. 

If there are any suggestions on some high calorie, low fat foods, I’d be happy to hear some!

Ending note — Congratulations to my friend Coley on her >5 lb weight loss!  WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!   I’m proud of ya girl!
