Day 42.

Seriously, the smell coming from my locker today was ridiculous. I have never been offended by an odor from my body before but today, finally, I was.

I'm not sure whether I should be proud or not.

Anyway, Lilly ended up going to school with us. It was an experience. Trying to convince an infant to be quiet while you're discussing Small World by David Lodge isn't the easiest thing in the world. Thankfully she didn't poop in the middle of class OR throw a huge fit. She did fall asleep in Senior Seminar, which made me insanely jealous.

Things didn't go as smooth for Vanessa, apparently. She left class early because Lilly was getting fussy.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm getting enough cardio. Doing the fat burner program on the Hell Machine burns about 460 calories in 33 minutes (28 plus a 5 minute cool down). Then I go and lift. I know that I'm still burning calories and my heart rate is probably still elevated, but I don't know if I'm doing enough.

And I need to re-become more aware of what I'm eating. With Lilly at school today, I bought a thing of Froot Loops to occupy her and she ended up feeding half of the container to me. Granted, they aren't terrible for you, but still. I'm trying to lose weight here.

So, the gym included 5 minutes on the bike while I waited for a Hell Machine to open up, the fat burner program for 28 minutes and then lifting. I think I like lifting. Like, it kind of sucks but I like the way that I feel afterword. Does that make any sense at all?

I suppose that the same thing goes for all of working out. I really, truly, genuinely hate it while I'm doing it. After, though, I get a weird high where I'm like (I'm going to swear here, you've been warned), "FUCK YEAH, I'M AWESOME, I KICKED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT!" Then I move on and it sucks again.

Even doing yoga, when I'm doing the Broken Table or Road Warrior One, the whole time it's, "Fuck you, I fucking hate you." But again, when it's over: "That was nice. I feel goooood."

Anyway, while lifting, I did biceps, triceps, abs and lats. Kind of a simple sounding day, but I did a bunch of machines.

Breakfast:
2 servings of Special K Vanilla Almond with milk (this cereal is losing it's luster for me. It has kind of a funky aftertaste.)
2 pieces of Protein Plus toast with apple butter
1 container of Cherry Yogurt

Snacks:
(all bought for Lilly but munched by me)
Froot Loops
Organic Animal Crackers (very strange tasting, not as sweet as normal ones)

Lunch:
Ham and Turkey on a sun-dried tomato wrap with American Cheese, mustard and lettuce
Sun Chips

Post-workout:
2 servings of Vanilla Protein Shake

Dinner:
1 and 2/3 servings of Rice Krispies with vanilla yogurt and strawberries
(not a whole lot of GOODNESS in there, but it tasted awesome and didn't kill me on calories)

Plenty of water. Good day, overall.

See you tomorrow.
