day 169 (day 1 / week 25)

Today is an exciting day and so this excitement followed me into the exercise room. I am a little sore today from yesterday's walk and then doing level 3 of The Shred (mainly my feet/ankles), so today I just did level 3 and no walk. I might do level 1 or 2 later. We'll see. I don't really like level 2... do you guys think it's punking out if I just go from level 1 to 3, like I did, or must I do level 2 also? lol. I really like level 3. really, really like it :). I don't remember why I don't like level 2, so maybe I should do it today, and remember why... lol. Maybe I won't dislike it anymore! lol

My mom is going to drop off the grill that I scrubbed not too long ago for my hubby's father's day present today! So exciting! I looked at it the other day and the outside looks horrible due to sun exposure. It looks 15 years old from the outside, but the inside is beautimus! I am going to use some furniture spray on it (cause it's greasy), and maybe it will give it all 1 color, instead the sun bleached look. Either way I am excited. My hubby already knows about it, so he won't be surprised, but I can't wait to see his reaction on the inside of the grill...he has seen it before and even had a convo on how much buildup was on it.

Tomorrow I think I am going to go buy some bbq paint for him, so we can paint the inside (it's a dull aluminum right now--still with some dark spots under the elements), and that can be his prezzy, since he already knows about the grill. It'll be a 2 parter--kind of like my exercise lol. I mentioned it here, so that means that I have to follow through and go and.... j/k! That's what I have to do w/ a 2 parter exercise though...lol (so sad).

I didn't eat enough yesterday but I was so full! I have been training myself to eat low calorie foods, so when I have to pack it in on my high exercise days, it's so hard! Last night by like 8pm I was realizing that I needed to get in another 300-400 calories for the day, and I was like "cereal--no that's only 180 calories at most" "fruit--no that's like 80 calories at most, id have to eat the entire container (chopped watermelon, canteloupe and honeydew)!" Then I remembered my ice cream. My sweet sweet ice cream. *drool* It's sugar free, so my eating it only bothers my hubby lol. I had enough fat and carbs left for the day that it wouldn't make a difference if I had any so I served up almost a full cup of it. I ate one bite, got distracted, put it in the freezer to harden up a little bit, and totally forgot about it! So I didn't eat enough. Oh well, such is life. I can have it for breakfast now! No? lol

Make it count! Do some sumo jumps. You can pretend to be a frog, and get exercise in at the same time. *ribbit* (silly rabbit! Frogs don't eat ice cream!).

I can do this. I am a star.
