Day 30!! - Can it be?

I can't believe it's been 30 days since I started this blog. Time flies when you are having fun, as the saying goes. And overall, it really has been fun. I enjoy it much more knowing that others are seeing it as opposed to the first few days when no one was out there and I was talking to myself! So happy one-month anniversary to me!
Today started out...interesting. When I got up I was so focused on getting to my workout (I missed it after all!) I forgot to have my protein shake, which, after the all fruit day, is VERY necessary. I learned this the hard way during my first set of muscle rounds when I tried to do lunges and nearly passed out after the only the first two sets. And I mean the mini-sets, so 8 reps per leg and I was TOAST! Light headed, dizzy, nauseous, weak, all of it. AAAAHHHHH. So I pushed through (with much longer rest times than listed but I just literally couldn't go any quicker) and did half of the workout. I was supposed to do 3 rounds of quads and I did 1-1/2, then I was supposed to do 2 each of hams and calves and I did 1. It was all I could do to just get through that much, but because I had already started my workout, I couldn't go up and eat something and then exercise later because I didn't have the time. And I really wanted to get a good workout in after skipping those other days. So I guess it was probably a combination of not working out for 4 days and what I will now dub "Fruit Day Hangover". It sucked big time. I was really disappointed because the muscles weren't exhausted, it was my whole body, if that makes sense. I know it will to all of you. So Note to Self: Remember the protein first thing!! I'm sure I won't forget again after that experience. But I think I still got a halfway decent workout because now, 16 hrs later, I am feeling a little soreness in the legs so I must have gotten some muscle breakdown. Good deal.
The rest of the day was uneventful, on low fat so I that is always the easiest part of this program for me because I already pretty much do eat low fat as long as I cook for myself and don't eat out all the time. I get myself into trouble when I am lazy. Between that, emotional eating, eating past full, or just plain eating when I am not hungry is what got me to where I was in the first place. Not really the type of food itself, just the quantity and timing. So when I concentrate on it, these days are not that tough at all because I like most healthy food and I do already have whole grains, vegetables, and lean protein on hand.
So that's the story of today. I'll post my pics tomorrow because it is getting late but I do also want to just throw out there that due to popular demand (okay, like 2 people, but still) I am going to be doing a series of posts specifically on MS and my experiences with it as a female. I want to be careful not to tread on Nick's territory as he deserves every dollar he earns on that e-book because it is really a great program, but I think a little more info should be out there specifically regarding the "woman's perspective", without giving too much away. I also do not want to appear in any way as an expert on the subject. Although fitness is a long time interest of mine, this will only be my opinions and should not be substituted for medical or professional advice of any kind, of course. Okay, disclaimer over, I'll talk to you all soon!
