Ah yes, the big meal day is over (along with my parents visit), so it was time to get back down to business. I was at 123.5 today so I’m pretty much where I started (like always ugh), but Jeremy has agreed to participate in a pre-Christmas bootcamp of sorts, which will likely mean paying for a few months at the community gym ($20 each a month). Its a 3 month minimum, which sort of sucks as it will be swamped come January, but I think the gym is the only way I can get him to really workout with me regularly. Plus I wanted to start seriously training, well at least be able to use the weight machines that I obviously can’t replicate at home. Probably take a few classes too and use the Stairmaster and stuff (as I only have the elliptical and treadmill here).

I’ve really just gotten so used to the same workouts and need a change up to increase my motivation. I’m breaking out some of my Cathe’s too. I’m going to whittle them down by doing them this month and see which ones I need to sell on the Ya ya swap. This will mostly be just the ones that are all high impact step. I can’t stomach it, but I will do them each one more time to see which ones to keep. They will kick my arse of course too.

I also have a crapload of protein powder. There are 8 cans or so in my pantry that I will probably start using more for training, as they are full meal replacement shakes, probably best to do in lieu of a nightly snack, and add some fiber powder to them (the only thing they are lacking.

My mom is in some business thing where she gets monthly 6-pack cans of the Optimal powder (30 scoops per can.) She keeps sending me extra boxes so I have tons of chocolate and french vanilla protein powder/meal replacement shakes, but there is NO WAY I can go through it. I have at least 4 or 5 boxes of the stuff (24-30 cans). If anyone wants some, I could ship them to you (just pay for shipping and paypal fees so I’m not out anything). Let me know. First dibs are here or else they will probably be sold on the swap.

I want to find a good training food plan to follow. I need a good excuse NOT to indulge in all the holiday excess over the next month before we go back to Minnesota to visit family (another huge reason to get my butt in gear… when people haven’t seen you for a year or two, they definitely can tell if you got fatter or not.) The only real problem is to figure out the answer when asked, “What are you training for?”… uh… just to have a sexy bod? That sounds kind of lame.
