It's not that I am boring or regimented. But, okay... I could tend that way. Just because I take a morning break everyday and typically have a banana. At around 10:30 AM. Because my tummy tells me so! Nah, I am not regimented (shyly hides behind hand and peaks out). Today provided back to back meetings where I needed to be focused and out of the office. 10:30 came and went and no half a banana, after half of my breakfast. I missed it, but you know? I think it was psychological more than anything. By the time I finally got to my banana in the safety of my car, half was just fine. Whew. No worries. Besides, I think I am totally enjoying my bananas even more knowing they are a luxury of calories and sugar I won't be able to afford later.
Day two exercises
Included some nifty lunges. Made it just fine and with good form and knees felt great, but the last set started tickling me a bit. Yeah, tickling!? Causing internal laughing. As in, "giggle", your going to totally feel that walking down the stairs in the morning. My thighs will be a little weak and jelly like. I will smile.
Still laughing, but most important, it feels really good to focus on a muscle group and feel it move and stretch. I find when I concentrate specifically on the exercise and muscles involved, I enjoy the workout so much more. I love the feeling of muscles moving and being torn down a bit to build them back up again. Awesome!
You will say goodbye to many foods in the next few weeks but bananas won't be one of them. Good work with the lunges.
