To Overcome

For my nutrition class. wheeeee

Or more correctly stated, the people on facebook.

Maybe I’m just sheltered with my whole tumblr group, but this girl I went to school with (who, mind you, is not thin) shared a picture of a rather large girl in a bathing suite who took a phone pic. This woman was beautiful- she had gorgeous hair and a very pretty face, the only thing “wrong” with her was that she had really big hips. The original post was on a radio station page, and there were more comments about the people being mad than agreeing with them, a lot of people were even calling the station and complaining about it. (good.)

So this girl shares it and adds her own comment of disgust, other people comment on her post about her “being super fine.. jk.” “We screamed in disgust when we saw this,” etc. It made me so freaking upset that people are STILL so ignorant that they would post something like that. But I guess that’s how it is… I commented that I was happy to see that on the original post most of the comments were people being angry about it having been posted, how the person in the picture has feelings, and that I don’t see why people make fun of other people just because they’re not society’s version of “perfection”… and this girl was one of my acquaintances at school so we’ll see what she says. It’s just upsetting how people can be so mean. I wouldn’t be surprised if the person in the picture found out about her picture being shared all over the internet- can you even imagine how crappy that would feel??

Should I do the 30 day shred today or what? I’ve only done it for 2 days in a row, and I want to take like, only one day a week off (preferably not friday)

So. Should I suck it up or is it actually that bad to work out when you’re sore?

Stare into space like a zombie for hours because I’m so dang tired.

Wake up at 6:30 to bring Bill to work, do 30 day shred right away. Take a shower.

Eat breakfast: One yogurt with 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup granola.

Go to work at 10. Eat lunch whenever hungry: Fruit and Nut bar, 1/2 grapefruit with 1 packet stevia.

Snack for the day: leftover grapefruit smoothie

Dinner: Salmon, 1/2 cup black beans, 1 small sweet potato with a pat of butter and 1 tsp of brown sugar.

Evening snack: banana with 1 T peanut butter

Total intake: 1,241 calories

So now I have to be at work at 10… but she said she might let me go early then. Whatever, I guess. There wasn’t much for me to do around here anyway, might as well be making money to sit around. =P

It’s been a good morning so far. It took me a while to wake up, but I got in the 30 Day Shred workout already, took a shower, and am now eating breakfast. I hate doing it at time time, but getting through my workout early in the morning really makes me feel awesome. Now to get some homework and housework done before work at 12:30…

Time to kick some butt. Jillian style.

Today was the first of three days for my Whole Living Detox… and it went pretty well! I didn’t follow the menu exactly, but I ate very well today and feel good, for the most part. I do have a headache, which I always tend to get when I cut back/remove junk food from my diet- I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m addicted to junk food/sugar and my body’s getting mad at me… but I need to get over that in order to live without the addiction.

Anyway, the food on the menu kind of tastes like shit, to be honest. The breakfast smoothie is drinkable, but the lunch I seriously could not even gag down, so I ended up eating an orange instead. I had a banana shortly after because I was feeling hungry again. The coconut trail mix was pretty good, but I had to make my own banana chips and I didn’t cook them long enough, so they’re kind of an unappetizing texture… ummm, the soup was good, except I put waaaay too much spinach and dill into it, which is an easy fix for the next two days considering you add those things each time you eat it. It did make me feel nauseous afterwards, which I’m assuming was because I was swallowing air or something, I dunno. And, as usual, frozen bananas with almonds = the most delicious thing ever.

I ended up cheating a little and had about 4 spoonfuls of leftover salmon, baked beans, and mac and cheese (first two I don’t care so much about, the m&c = :( ) but it was hardly any, way less than I wanted to eat, that’s for sure. haha.

I’m proud of myself because I made Bill an egg, ham, and provolone sammy on an everything bagel and it looked and smelled sooooo good that it took everything in me to resist taking a huge bite out of it.. but I did it!

So day one is over, I’d say successfully. I have two days lefttttt.

I’m on my 3 day Detox, but I need 400 more calories.

Anyone have any ideas on what I could eat to fill up these calories without messing with my detox? I can basically eat whatever I want as long as it’s “easy to digest and all natural.” Suggestions?
