Slow, Sore & Sour... Oh and Smaller

        I did NOT want to do the stairs again today, but of course I did. With probably 40min left, my back was getting very sore. I kept stopping to stretch but it wasn't helping much. I started contemplating getting off; "my back was just too sore and I didn't want to over do it." However, I think I was looking for a reason to quit. Knowing I probably shouldn't I kept going.
       Not long after, I hit a wall and went to get off... Of course my luck would have it that my line of view fell upon R_ P. running like a mad woman. Oh what an inspiration. She's training for the Boston marathon! "If she could do it, I could too... Or die trying haha."
       Soon thereafter, there was only 15min left. Then 10min. Then 5... I couldn't give in with so little left.
Finally I finished!
I am now paying with a very sore back... oh well, it will be worth it... Just don't over do.

I found out last night why my emotions are all over the place... Well, not all over mostly just down. I was correct; the steroids for the bronchitis are screwing with my hormones. No wonder I have been munchie and soo 'done'! I can't wait for it to be done.

Oh the day before yesterday I noticed my forearms are smaller/narrower! And a few days before that, as I rubbed my eyes, it felt smaller on either side of them & I think I feel my cheek bones better. It's crazy where you find weight coming off. So cool.

Food
Breakfast: 1Tbs almond butter, 10g carb slice of bread, 27g carb banana, 2 scoops protein shake
Snack: 1c frozen raspberries, 2 scoops protein shake
            I was so hungry shortly after. I think I needed more.
Lunch: 1 small gala apple, buffalo sauce, 30g carb pasta, 8g protein chicken
            Hungry again.
Snack: 5oz tuna, 1 Tbs mayo, 1 green onion, very small handful of craisins, mustard 1 large GH honey whole wheat dinner roll
             Not hungry, yeah.
Dinner: homemade oriental chicken soup, 5oz chicken, bok choy, mushrooms, onions, bamboo shoots
Snack: plan on having 1 Tbs pb & 2 scoop protein shake

Workout
1 hr stairmaster Fat Burner level 4

Danny's Darkside Minion Thank You Card

There is a shirt, that I think is so funny...

   

Based on this quote (another idea for a title that fell thru) and their minions... Emily made a thank you card for Danny. So cute! 

 Note: the fat sleeping minion on the Darkside and the healthy fit minion on Danny's side. Also those are Jedi Knights in the brown robes.

Danny loved it.

Sick, Sweet & Style

I got sick what seems like a month ago. It went away but the cough came back. i finally found out yesterday that I have bronchitis but I'm still kickin' it. I have still been doing the stairmaster like crazy (well compared to what I use to do). I usually pay with coughing for quite some time after but it's worth it. I've been able to do 1hr at a time!!!! Woohoo! I start and stop a lot (like 30sec or 1min stops) but I get it done. Friday, I even burned 1500+ calories! Sweet deal

Fears we need to over come... Many people over weight are scared to go to the gym because they think they are "too fat". The gym is medicine for those of us who are not perfect. Just as church is a place for sinners and not saints haha (if that makes sense). We are ALL working to become better.
If you spend any amount of time in the gym you realize how many overweight people DO go. I love looking for those members who are over weight but are there everyday. It inspires ME!! The days I go at 12:30 I am always looking for the Nutty Professor. This man looks just like the Nutty Professor played by Eddie Murphy. He makes me smile everytime I see him. He is ALWAYS there on the same treadmill every day. It makes me proud inside. He is an inspiration.
Something I struggled with originally was not having cute gym clothes or even clothes that match, haha... One day (at the end of this challenge) I will be skinny enough I feel like I can spend the money to buy cute matching workout clothes. haha

Today, I went to yoga again. I forgot how much I love it. It's been about 6 months since last time I went. I usually have Danny Monday mornings. Then I did stairs for 1hr again!! Level 4 Woohoo!!1
