Day 2

As I suspected, I lost 2.4 lbs.  I'm happy, but not surprised.  I know tomorrow I'll probably be in the low 203's or even 202.  That's great, but the real test will be when I hit the brick wall and every 0.10 of weight lost will be a struggle.  But, this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Workouts

I began this morning with 10 minutes of yoga.  I would like to say if felt good and mind cleansing, but honestly I struggled from the first stretch.  Part of it was being stiff from sleeping, but the more disappointing part was I'm out of shape and extremely tight.  Every stretch was a chore and I only made it to Warrior 1 before I called it quits.  I didn't want to over-do it and pull something.  Plus it accomplished its goal, to get the blood flowing and wake me up.  I look forward to trying this again tomorrow morning at 6:00am before work.

At noon I began day one of Jillian Michaels Get Ripped in 30.  I did a few of these after I finished Insanity back in February, and this particular exercise was barely useful to me.  However, after being mostly sedentary for the better part of 4 months, I barely made it.  Pushups?  Joke.  Biceps curls whilst lunging...really?  Fast feet?  Nauseous feet.  I could barely reach up to turn off my Xbox one when I was finished.  My tongue couldn't tell if it was sweat or tears that was flowing onto my lips.  But I knew.  Sweat doesn't taste like disappointment and embarrassment.  But I made it!

Eating

Another wonderful omelette.  3 egg whites, mushrooms, black olives, 2 halved cherry tomatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, sliced almonds coated in sea salt and pepper, and seasonings (I used dried basil, crushed red peppers, and salt and pepper on the eggs).   I did have a vodka club soda at the end of the evening, but still clocked in under 1,500 calories.
Summary

Over all I feel a successful day two.  I'm going to try waking up early tomorrow and getting some Yoga in if I'm not too sore, or tired, or cranky, or melancholy, or...
