Anyways, so on Friday I had my first work out with Kristy.
Gym time!
She taught me how to use all the gym equipment there and let me tell you I could FEEL everything. Tomorrow, I start getting down to business again at the gym with my official workout routines so it'll be great to see how it goes from there.
Working out was a struggle for my upper body for the most part, my abs next and then the easiest came from my legs. Thank goodness for leg power right? At least I know I've gotten a start somewhere. It really struck me after the work out how I had muscles hurting that I didn't even know were there. I mean - I'm an artist, of course I knew they were there - but really they weren't because I have zero muscles for the most part. I'm going to change this ya hear?
So many notes! If anyone knows how to flip pictures IN blogger, that'd be great.
Anyways, before the work out, I hadn't had time to eat a lot and Kristy urged me to get some tuna in me for the protein needed for the workout. I popped a can and started eating it on my way over. BIG MISTAKE.
For basically the whole weekend, I was absolutely sick ridden with cramps and, TMI, bright orange diarrhea. I searched and searched the web to see what could be wrong with me, especially when I was assaulted by it every twenty minutes on average. I found out that most, if not all of those with my exact symptoms, had eaten a fish called an escolar right before the sickness struck. Escolar have a type of skin, I think, that has an oil in it that people can't digest. They're a real health problem. Now I knew I had that tuna so I wasn't sure but - after some more research, I found that it's VERY COMMON for escolar to be sold fraudulantly under the name of tuna. Can I tell you how MAD I was? I was sick ridden because some moron packaged the wrong fish? UGH! I'm never buying THAT brand again.
Anyways, tomorrow will be a busy day. I have work and then my workout and then it's time to go grocery shopping finally for my new way of eating.
I was going to do it tonight but unfortunately I ran out of time. I'm a little upset that tomorrow's the official start and I'll be late with the program on the food aspect but eh. I can't let that bother me. Usually, I'd say "No, this has to start EXACTLY right or I won't do it" and wait until next Monday but let's face it, I get really creative with procrastination and that needs to stop. So workout tomorrow and grocery shopping tomorrow. SO nervous but I know I can do it.
Speaking of food though, here's my dinner I had tonight -
Potluck!
Me and my roomies do these potlucks together and provide pieces of meals and then we eat and hang out together. SO much fun and the food is ALWAYS amazing. We have the greatest time talking and laughing. We'll still get to do this on my new lifestyle - I'll just have to introduce a few new things to them! ;)
Anyways, it's bed time for me! I'll let you know how tomorrow goes!
