So....
Day 3 of the diet finished in the positive again! I got home last night late (more about that later) so my schedule was thrown a little off that I had in my head for a workout. However, I still stuck to the plan I had doing ab, arms, legs and butt pilates work out even if it was later than I anticipated. One thing I did learn though is that when I'm using the Pilates exercise balls, Bailey thinks that it is "time to play with my ball too"!! Poor Bailey, I ended up having to put her in her crate for a little while because she wouldn't leave me alone. I do have to say I am very surprised that I am not more sore than I am from the pilates...of course there still is tomorrow lol!
Day 4
Today, I woke up early again to working out on the elliptical first thing, which I think is really giving me that burst of energy during the day and I really am enjoying it! I'm beginning to understand that this is really about changing your lifestyle completely. Hopefully, tonight it won't rain and we will be able to take a bike ride! Taking a bike ride at night is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day, especially riding along the lake. Today, I was craving something sugary so for the first time all week I got a Diet Coke (which yes, is allowed on the diet) and it worked in solving my craving. Yes, I am still drinking water like crazy!!
I digress to yesterday's crazy drive home from work..... you know it's going to be a long drive home from work when you're pretty much blocked in by people who obviously did not take driver's ed for parallel parking. And yes, the craziness just snow balls from there, but the icing on the cake is when you're getting ready to turn onto the main highway to get home and the traffic is sitting at a STAND STILL, yes north of Apopka in the middle of nowhere traffic is nuts!! I make the wrong turn and get even more tangled up in traffic only to have the residents of the seedy side of town pointing to a side road gesturing for me to take this road to get out of traffic.
At first I hesitate as I think "I have no clue where this road goes or this area at all" then I get reassurance (or blind courage) in that 4 cars just go by me and automatically make this right turn to nowhere...so I decide it has to be better than sitting for heaven knows how long in traffic. Well, this road led to nowhere without a doubt but in following my fellow commuters I made my way around the crazy accident that had the highway closed down. Later, we found out that a SUV ran into the rear of a bus that was stopped at a bus stop. Honestly, this does not surprise me as the city bus' do not have very bright flashers showing they are stopped and I have watched several cars swerve at the last minute to avoid the stopped bus'. One would think that there would either be a pull off of the busy highway for the bus stop or at the least the bus would have more visible flashers..... but then again who knows whether the driver was even paying attention.
Hubby and I both got home from work late because of that but bless his heart he worked outside and got all of the yard work done for the week! Yay!!! We will have an easy upcoming weekend! :-) And, Bailey finally decided that the wool blanket from Yellowstone is not worth her attention anymore LOL....
