Single Digits

And then there were 9.

Today has been a hard day for this ol girl. It almost seemed as if the universe was sending people into my path to offend me. Could be the depleting stages, could be the exhaustion, could be the lack of variety in my diet but today people just sucked.

In other news, I forgot to post that yesterday and today for my warm up at the gym I banged out 6 underhand pull ups from a dead hang. While this isn't that uber exciting of a number for a serious fitness chick-- at this point in my game I am excited about it. It makes me realize that once I have more food and energy I will be at my goal of 10 underhand shortly. I really just want to master the pull up in a weird obsessive sort of a way.

Did I tell you that I have been spending a lot of time reading books? Yeah, so I read to keep my mind occupied and away from food. I also read to get caught up in someone else's life so I don't have to focus on how hectic mine is this week. So, I have read, literally, like 6 love stories in the past two weeks. I know, it's a little weird. I don't intend on stopping until the show-- then I probably wont read again for a month or two.

I got coupons in the mail today and I was going to throw them away, because we never eat out. But I accidently opened them and they were coupons for Carl's Junior. Now, never in a million years would I normally want a cheeseburger and french fries. But today. Those coupons had my mouth watering. I decided to save the coupons next to my girl scout cookies, and my trail mix because next weekend-- I think I might just eat at Carl's Junior.

My game plan is this. Friday after the show I am going to eat a few cookies, a bit of trail mix and then have my tacos, chips and salsa and diet coke. I know I will probably feel sick but I am going to try to just eat a bit of everything so that I can feel satisfied. Saturday I am going to eat whatever I want again, including and probably not limited to more cookies, trail mix and probably that bacon cheeseburger and french fries. Sunday I will clean up the food and still have a treat if I want but I intend on being back on my beginning meal plan Monday. I feel like I can indulge in sugar treat on Saturday nights with a cheat meal from then on after-- just like I expect from my clients and that will be sufficient. I really hope to make this transition as healthy and in control as possible... so this is my plan.

What else? Stairs are going fine, tomorrow is my last leg workout-- and I work out every day until Thursday next week, nothing Thursday or Friday. So my official count down to the end of these long hours of cardio are on. I am worried my cardio will increase again next week-- but it's ok if it does because it is only 3 days so I can make it.

I called and scheduled a massage for Friday morning, even though I really shouldn't spend the money on it. But I did it anyway and I am going to go and enjoy it because a. I am exhausted b. I am exhuasted c. I can't eat and d. I just need something to look forward to before Tuesday when I get my nails done.

Can't wait for this week to just be over. Husband has the crazy training on Friday and we are both pretty nervous about it. I am ready for next week. BRING ON NEXT WEEK!!!
