Day 263... How to survive the movies!

Today Ben and I went and saw Dark Knight Rises again... so much cooler in Imax! I knew that I would have a hard time avoiding the concession stand so I packed my purse with edamame, 1.5 liters of water and gum. I was able to avoid the sweets and popcorn. It also helped that I was watching a really good movie. :)

This morning I made the mistake of sleeping in. Once I got up I hit the garage and did my upper body workout. I pushed myself but I don't think that I pushed myself hard enough. I could have done 20 reps of each exercise but I kept it to 12 because shoulder presses really push me to my limit... I'm a weakling and I know it. After upper body I went to the gym for cardio. I had to cut my cardio down to 45 minutes so that I could be home in time to shower, take Ava to Nana and Papa's and be home in time to pick Ben up for the movie. It was kind of nice to only go 45 minutes but tomorrow I'm back to 65 minutes and I'm looking forward to it. I updated my playlist on my iPod getting rid of all Black Eye Peas songs and added 10 new songs. I'm hoping that will help my workout pass quicker.

Besides the edamame I've had an apple, some cheddar cheese, almonds and pickles. I've also had a spoonful of peanut butter. I'm now waiting on Ben to make the asparagus which I will have 3 turkey cheese rollups since we are out of chicken. Water intake is still low today only had 2.5 liters. I don't know why it is so hard to get in more water lately before I was sitting at 6 liters of water a day.

I was so angry this morning... pissed off is the better term! Not only was I not one bit sore I've also gained 2.6 lbs in 9 days. Why is this happening? I should be losing weight. I was starting to get frustrated but now I have taken that frustration and turned it into motivation. I'm using it as a motivator to not overeat, to do my workouts and push myself. I hope this new motivation will stick with me and I will be able to complete my goal!

Let the lbs melt!!!
