Today's Workout: Cardio 1
I think I need a lesson in self-control... as we were preparing dinner for the kids I was so hungry that I couldn't stop nibbling at the lasagna and garlic bread. I ate a whole piece before dinner!
So I began thinking about it this morning during cardio 1. I didn't prepare dinner last night, which meant I was idle at my crave and crash time. Evenings are the time for me where my cravings are the strongest. From 6 - 8 I need to administer the highest self control. No nibbling. If I feel like putting something in my mouth, it needs to be a glass of water. What's your crave and crash time? Keeping busy during that time will help too, which means I should continue to prepare my own dinner. This way, I know when it will be ready and I keep busy getting to that point.
Okay - the plan is in place!
Cardio 1 is getting easier, although I still am amazed at how much I sweat during the workout. And it's only 20 minutes!
I haven't mentioned why I am doing this blog, aside from saying that I want to have a place to share my experience with the JM program. I have three young boys at home and I am a professional accountant which requires continuing education and updating. I volunteer on the board of a local charity, as well as sit as Treasurer on the school council for my son's school. Look, my point is this - If I can do this program, with good days and not so good days, and still see results, I KNOW that you can do this program too. It's not about being perfect, it's about showing up. I will be using this blog to share my daily experience with you, and I hope it will help keep you motivated to stay on track. Let's just take it a day at a time.
Have a good one folks!
