This week I had a total Ah-Ha moment! (brought to my attention by my best g friend). I am a total control freak! I have no desire to control other people. In fact, I spend all of my time attempting to control myself and my environment. I think since I have stopped working, I feel a little bit lost. I'm not so sure about my place in the world anymore. I was really good at my job, and I loved it! I miss my colleagues and all of my kiddos so much. I think that I have transferred that into my now jobless life by giving myself a rigid schedule of cleaning, eating, and exercising! Holy Crap! I don't know if this is healthy! I spend my days now cleaning, making lists, exercising, and eating a very planned out clean diet. As my good friends know well, don't mess with my schedule or I get a little crazy! As soon as the kids come home from school I feel purpose again and the importance of myself and my to do list diminishes. I get to focus on them again. I am going to work on not being so rigid and inflexible (is that a word?). I might even stop making lists about what list to conquer first!
Workout Schedule:
This is my last week of the Jaime Eason 30 Day Knockout! Yea. I am sooo excited to be done. I loved the workout don't get me wrong. I see totally awesome results in the overall tone of my muscles. I just loose motivation and drive when I do the same routines for an extended period of time. I did learn that deadlifts are my butt's best friend! O.K., so after my confession above, this won't surprise you. I have already planned, printed off, and put in page protectors in my workout binder.........my workouts for the next 12 weeks! I really am disturbed aren't I? I am going to try a 12 week workout that I found at bodybuilding.com. It is called 12 Week LiveFit Trainer by Jaime Eason. It looks really intense, but I am really excited to start next week. It is supposed to get you totally competition ready in just 12 weeks. The diet is included too. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-easons-livefit-phase-1.html?page=2 I will keep you posted on my results and progress. By the way, I will absolutely not be entering into any competitions! Walking across a stage in a bikini and heels? My worst nightmare!
Noodle Let Down:
So my Miracle Noodles finally got here. I was so excited at the prospect of calorie free noodles, however, Miracle Noodles, not such a miracle after all. The texture is really weird and they are super stinky! Not just a slight odor, I mean Smelly Cat smelly! I ordered a bunch, so I guess I will have to eat them. I am totally not a waster, so I will have to make the best of them. I did see some tofu noodles at Sprouts yesterday, so I will try those when my Miracles have all disappeared.
