Thanksgiving Aftermath...

Today was Day 1 of burning off Thanksgiving.

 Kitchen is stocked for the week, workouts planned, and Monday morning was a bitch like usual. 

 My clothes felt tight. My skin is full of blemishes. My energy is in the toilet.

 To sum it up, I feel like a bloated round little troll. 

Every time I look in the mirror, I cringe. 

But today wasn't about how I felt. Today was about getting back on track. Today was about getting back to feeling good inside and out. 

I felt better as the day went on. I had coffee then greek yogurt, protein shake, and sunflower seeds. I made it my mission to drank as much water as possible. I peed like a champ. Lunch was ground turkey, veggies, and rice with taco seasoning, lime juice and cilantro. Satisfied, but not stuffed like a turkey. More water and with every pee, I hoped the bloat was going down. Snack was carrots and slices of pepper jack cheese. More water. 

I had some granola about 30 mins before going to class. There was a moment where I wanted to skip out and just sit on the couch, but no, today was about getting back on track. I'm glad I went. Once I got there, I just had to follow directions. It felt good to be back. 

The funny thing? Your mind picks up right where you left off and forgets that your body just took a week off. So yeah I was focused on completing reps, burning calories, and ignoring how I felt. Well I hit that point.... I was doing rows and  then I had to throw up.....

and then I finished my workout :)

For dinner I had Italian sausage with cheddar cheese, broccoli and cauliflower. Finishing up the last of my water. Today was a good day. Today was an "I'm back!" day. 

I'm going to go enjoy the last hour before bedtime.

And tomorrow is a new day.
