Connecting Modern Women and Moms

Today began with tears, I am not going to lie. I have been working my tukas off all week and I got on the scale and NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cardio, Training with Gilles, my F*&%*&%^( food journal, I literally feel like it's all I do and my scale might as well have just flipped me the bird this am. So yes, my tears were tears of irrational frustration and of course, I called Hulya who quickly reassured me that I had nothing to worry about, she would simply delete everything about health and fitness and our blogs from the website as if they never existed and tell everyone I have a new Presidential boyfriend so my information cannot be on the internet! All of this to spare me the embarassment of having to confess that 1. I haven't lost weight and 2. I cried about it. (this is why I love her, but I couldn't let her do it.)
I still went to the gym and with a pep talk from Gilles and a review of my food journal, I feel better about my progress and have some things I can do to improve on below are a few...
1. I have not been eating enough in the am prior to workouts and when I do it's protein and not enough carbs/.fat.
2. I need to eat after a workout and then again within 2 hours because my body is using up the first meal quickly. I have been waiting sometimes 6 hours between my after-workout meal and the next one.
3. I need more sleep.

So the workout was good today, Cardio and playing medicine ball catch with Hulya whilst taking out my frustration that she didn't bring her food journal and I DID and Gilles did not immediately kick her ass. I worked FOREVER on that food journal--and I did it bc I was AFRAID of the consequences of not having it. I think now I slack---KIDDING!
I am in this for the long haul and have decided to throw out my scale, it's like reading beauty magazines...it doesn't tell the whole story and usually makes me feel like crap.
