Well here I am. I survived one day on CORE. And maybe, just maybe, I’m becoming more of a believer! (:

Here’s my deliemma… EATING OUT. As I mentioned yesterday, I am a picky eater. Don’t like many vegetables… don’t like onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc… so. How do I eat out and stay on plan? Pizza is deadly for me (although I did maintain control last night!)… fast food (usually Taco Bell) is tough… cause even if I bought one of their “bowls” I hardly like anything on it.. talk about no flavor… Hmmm… pondering this one… maybe I should just EAT AT HOME! but that’s not very feasable for my lifestyle….

Here’s my food so far…

Also I have decided to take one set of “bricks” out of my step during Step Aerobics to see how my knees react. Lunges REALLY hurt and I’ve noticed stepping up is also painful. Someone suggested that the two sets of bricks might have something to do with it, so I’m trying to see if this helps. Also I am stepping up the number of times per week that I do “Group Power” my weight lifting class, and cutting one cardio out. I feel like my knees need to be strengthened and a little less “stressed”… hopefully this helps!

Goal (Week Jan 27 - Feb 1 )				Sun	Mon	Tues	Wed	Thurs	Fri	Sat
Cardio totaling 3 hours each week						60
50 crunches (daily)					x	x
50 obliques (daily)					x	x
Group Power 2+ times/week					x
Other (dancing w/ baby etc.)						5
if daily goals accomplished

C an anyone really do this??

O n plan means no carbs???

R eally miss my freedom

E www! I’m too picky of an eater for this!!!

Ok… maybe that was a bit extreme… I’ve been dreading starting on CORE because I am such a picky eater and I have been afraid that I will miss the foods I love, like bean burritos. I know I have the extra 35 flex points but I usually save those for a night out to dinner or special treat. Now I need to divide them up over my whole week so I have a few flexies each day. Sounds tough!

However… TODAY WASN’T TOO BAD!!! (I know, big shocker!) I have eaten OP and used 4 flex points… an old friend came to town and we went to pizza. Great way to end my first day ): w/ 6 more FP’s… but at least I ate in moderatioin!… and I feel great!
