Protein Shake

Just a couple quick thoughts. I ate ok. I didn't go to the gym (still a little sore and tired from the past couple of days). I have boot camp for the next two days anyways. I was just hungry, so I decided to go with Marcol's suggestion on Beck's blog about the snacks under 250 calories. I could easily consume 250 calories on just about anything, but I decided to do something of substance. I don't know if I still made it under the 250 calories, but I feel better. 6 oz milk, fit & trim yogurt (frozen), 1 scoop whey protein. Some berries or a banana would have made it even better. I think I'm going to start having one of these after my workouts from now on.

Tonight I tried on a swimsuit that I've had since before I had kids. It fits. No control panel, but I would say it's OK. Certainly not hot, but ok. This is good enough for now. Good news is that I can still still that thigh definition that I mentioned the other day. Bad news is that my thoughts were still floating between confidence and disgust the whole time. How does this happen? Grrr... I still have a long way to go. No, I'm not posting any pictures.

I am going to start biking soon. That should yield some dramatic improvements to my inner thighs. I remember when I was younger, I used the bike at the gym every day for about 10 - 20 minutes. It only took about a month for me to see huge differences. I'm not expecting the same results as quickly this time, but still. The gym has free spinning classes. Plus, my friend and I are supposed to start riding bikes together on weekends now. I have to get my bike fixed up first, but this should be a good way to incorporate some real physical activity into my daily life. I would like to get to a point where the gym is just a supplement to my active lifestyle. That might be a little difficult year round in Michigan, but I can always try different things.

I'm starting a new earlier schedule at work tomorrow, so I have to get to bed now. Good night!
