Today I got up and decided I was going to have some eggs.....with my FAT FREE butter and a little shredded cheese. Was feeling great......then my sister wooped my butt into shape.

She introduced me to some "circuit training" as she called it. 10 minutes of walking.....followed by some weight exercises....followed by 10 minutes of walking......more weight exercises....and then finally 10 more minutes of walking.....(and then cool down exercises)

I never realized how much this breaks up the work out. It really make all of it go faster(in a weird way)....instead doing 3 different sets of reps all together you can take breaks by walking....and getting the heart rate up and down like that is good....(or so i been told)

So we made PULLED PORK today.....did it in a slow cooker...mmmmmm....NOT....

Didnt care for it much....for some reason i felt guilty eating it....it wasnt BAD for me.....but it just seemed not right....besides....I like chicken and beef better.

My theme for todays journal is GETS HARDER BY THE MINUTE.....why?

Every freaking minute i do on that treadmill is sooooo hard for me. I didnt realize how bad I really am until i started trying to do a steady 30 minutes on the treadmill each day.....it's like my body says i need it but my legs cant keep up. It is what has in the past made me quit......but not anymore...

Im pushing myself as much as i can. Im trying to at least do 30minutes a day......

NO MORE EXCUSES....

Today I parked in the back of the parking lot on purpose.....that was a change...

I bought new shoes today as well.....new balance......my $20 walmart shoes were not cutting it on the treadmill. (soon i shouldnt need wide width anymore)

My journals are very random....not always grammatically correct or spell checked....but i try to mention important ports of my day.

OK...Next subject.......

COOKBOOKS

I went to Target today as well as walmart. I know these places are not the best sources for cookbooks but i am sooooooo frustruated with the selections i find anywhere.

I am a really picky eater. I like really simple meals. I dont like all the BS on my food and basically if there was a good way to describe my pickyness it would be like a 5yr old with a dab of adult every once in awhile. Please tell me Im not the only one here...

I try and force myself to eat better foods and different foods...but i was raised on junk...

Example of whats in my kitchen (BEFORE BAND)

Ravioli (toasted and baked)

Pizza

Chicken Nuggets (these will never make it out of my fridge)

Spaghetti

Meatballs

Mac & Cheese

Ramen Noodles

Burgers (pre-cooked for microwave)

Cheese (just about every kind)

Mayo (miricle whip light)

Hot Dogs

This is just a sample.....and now ive replaced alot with the following:

Yogart

Tuna

Fat Free Butter

Skim Milk

Grapes

Apples

Turkey

Chicken breasts

pork chops

BAKED Lay's

grean beans

peas

potatoes

Heres my point.....i need more ideas geared toward the picky eater. I will try things that are not so complex.....really simple meals...like easy quick to make things.....that SHAKE N BAKE I made the other night is a good exaple....very simple and 20 min to make. Easy. Simple. Tastes good. Doesnt have a lot of junk on it.

Every cookbook I open up has some weird dish made with all kinds of what i call "nasty" food.

HELP!!!!

Ok im going to bed ...enough of my rants and raves...thanks to anyone who had enough patiance to read my post.

Im pushing forward........keep it up guys!!!
