Today was a good day! I've already done my 15 sit-ups (well, crunches), 7 push ups and 20 second plank. Will probably do it again when I get home. Also went for a walk today with one of the munchkins. Have been eating fairly healthy today (oatmeal, veggies, turkey sandwich, more veggies...and a couple of pieces of dark chocolate). I've decided not to count coffee. If I don't have my coffee, people might spontaneously combust from the lasers that shoot out of my eyes. So, in order to not be angry at myself and save all of humanity, I've decided the 2 tbsp of creamer I put in my coffee just doesn't need to be added in.
I can't help but wonder what the hell I'm doing and if it's going to make any difference. I look at those stupid calorie burning charts and I think "what's the point"? Seriously? I could kill myself for a half an hour and still only burn a couple hundred calories. Did you know that you have to burn 3500 calories to lose ONE pound? Granted, we all burn calories just being alive, so it may not be as unreasonable to think we could burn that much off. Oh, and your fat cells don't multiply. By the time you're a young adult, you have all the fat cells that you'll ever have. Of course, each fat cell can grow to be as big as it wants.
I have this visual of those water bead things growing and growing.
Oh, and whoever dreamed up burpees is a misogynistic bastard. I'm pretty sure he is also responsible for high heels, waxing, and root canals.
...and the phrase, "...sugar-free...and tastes good too!"
