make_your_moveI did manage to drag myself out of bed again this morning
Up at 6am - after a terrible night of downright depressing dreams ... one involving someone/something trying to get into the house and Q not waking up to investigate. The last dream I was giving a eulogy at a funeral ~bleh~ So, after only sleeping in 2 hour spurts, the temptation to stay in bed was strong, but I got up anyway.
Yesterday, I did the first Tae Bo tape. This morning I did the first DVD from "The Firm" (yes, I have an assload of this stuff collected over the years) Only made it through 43 minutes, and didn't get to the Abs portion, but I was sweating quite a bit and my legs and ass are still tingling from the workout. If I'm really motivated I'll try and finish the rest of the DVD this afternoon.
Breakfast was 8oz tomato juice and 1/2 cup of egg beaters. The trip to the market never happened yesterday - so the plan is to shop this morning. My list is extensive, hopefully this will carry me through the rest of the week. Dinner tonight comes from the new South Beach "Quick and Easy" cookbook (no meal takes longer than 30 min. to make). The recipe is "Indian Chicken" - made with light coconut milk, garlic, ginger, curry and cauliflower. Oh, I guess I should eat lunch too ... yesterday was also a Phase 1 "Crab & Avocado Salad" .. it was delicious.
Still haven't had a smoke though. And I'm thinking I need an exercise or "strong" icon or two.

I have a fool proof "stop smoking" plan
Date: 2006-03-14 02:00 pm (UTC)The plan itself is simple, but highly effective: I follow the smoker around for 30 days (even setup shop to live with them). They are allowed to light up as many cigarettes as possible during the 30 days ... but I get to then put them out using a shovel. I guarantee at the end of 30 days, a cigarette will be the LAST thing the person would want.
Now, I would in no way derive any pleasure whacking YOU in the face with a shovel to put out a cigarette (there are others however that would make this scenario VERY satisfying). I'm just informing you there are drastic plans available should one choose to go the extreme route.
I am happy you are rocking and rolling on this on your own ...

Date: 2006-03-16 05:36 pm (UTC)James Woods was the guy who wanted to stop smoking ... when the company caught him smoking, they kidnapped his wife, put her in a cage, and then electrified the floor to make her dance ... warned him of more dire consequences if he continued lighting up ...
This particular episode was part of a trilogy ... had a cat wandering about somehow related to all 3 stories ...

Do you like the Quick and Easy cookbook, or is this the first recipe that you are trying?
It sounds like you are doing great! Keep up the awesome work!!

I wouldn't worry too much about "only" 43 minutes. 20 or 30 minutes a day should be more than sufficient for someone at the beginning of a trainin program.
