Day Five

I woke up this morning with little or no energy I actually wanted to stay in bed all day, hey it is Saturday.  Yes it Saturday the weekend, how am I going to get through the day.  My first step is to actually get out of bed and get some coffee and face the day.

What did I have planned for the day?  Workout and clean up all my Christmas decorations, that explains why I did not want to get out of bed. The gym was fun lots of conversation about the challenge, it's great to talk with everyone find out how they are doing, what they are doing, and what they are doing to cope.  It's nice to know we are all in this together it helps to talk thru ideas about shopping, foods, and recipes!!   Hmm now that I think about it a very different conversation from normal, we usually talk about WAY different things.  I just figured out this challenge is not to improve our health and performance, it's to clean up the conversations at the gym.  With lifts that have names like snatch and jerk plus the demented minds of the veteran crew at P2 that will never happen.

On my way home I went to pick up lunch for the kids, let me tell you there is something about the way fast food smells that make you crave it.  I could not wait to get home being trapped in an enclosed car with Wendy's is more difficult than you think because I could not have " just one French Fry.".

 When I got home I did some research on foodee.com a great site for recipes and decided to run some errands before cleaning up Christmas.  Wegmans was top on my list and it took me about a half hour longer because of all the label reading.  Everything has preservatives in it!!

So now you ask what did I do on my first Saturday night?  Well I can say that it is not a typical Saturday for me.  I cooked dinner (like I said not normal we usually go out or Michael cooks).  I made balsamic pork with broccoli great recipe from the whole 30 foodee.com website.  I also bought raw almonds and macadamia nuts and roasted them myself (thanks Daphne and Matt for the idea). It was so easy and they were awesome!!  I am finishing the night on the couch watching The Dark Knight Rises drinking my sleepy time tea trying to relax so I can get a good nights sleep tonight.

Looking forward to Sunday, I made it through day 5 only 25 to go but who's counting??
