I have a Headache!

This morning started off pretty good. We had so much fun today in PE. We ran to Christmas music like "Run, Run, Rudolph". Some classes did "suicides" to it for about 2:30 pacing themselves. The 3 year olds copied me as I danced to "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas". They all think thats what Ms. Cobb wants. It was so funny. I had 2 ULM basketball players come and observe. They said it was very interesting! I was very active all day while I taught. It was too wet to go outside and play Football so we stayed in and did some of the Presidential Testing. I did not feel like going to the gym after work so I went home and worked out. My client canceled and I just didn't feel like answering any questions tonight. Sometimes I wish I could rent the gym for just me so I can get everything done and get out at a reasonable time. I can't stand people who socialize and try to talk to me in the middle of my set , especially ones that ask questions. It's just disrespectful. Please wait until I'm finished. I hope I'm not offending anyone but I don't have time to play. When I workout it's serious business. I usually wear a walkman. When I do that people don't talk AS MUCH. Sometimes that walkman gets in my way. Anyway, I did "THE FIRM" tape. It's called Standing Legs. It's pretty tough. She had me sweating and huffing and puffing within 30 minutes! It requires some dumbbells (3-15 pounds), a step, barbell (optional) and ankle weights. It lasted about 40 minutes. I haven't done that tape ever. I've had it about a year now and tonight was the first time I did it. It's funny how a slight change in routine feels so much harder than when your body is used to your routine. That's why variety is so important. The key to avoiding hitting a plateau is variety. Your body gets used to doing the same thing over and over, muscles are worked and moved in the same old ways, and you become stuck. I believe in shocking my body through exercise and diet. It really works but you have to have a plan and prepare for changes to take place. There are so many people who already know this bit of information yet fail to practice it. Being fit is HARD WORK!! There is no miracle pill! Some days are easier than others and today was one of those "almost didn't do it" days. It's so easy to talk yourself out of working out. You can always think of something else to do but the people who set workout as a high priority are the ones who benefit the most from working out. I have a terrible headache right now. It just came on a little while after supper. It's probably from NO caffeine!! I have not had a Coke today, can you believe it? This was my diet:

Breakfast: 4 egg whites, grits, 1 cup skim milk
Lunch: 1 cup of spaghetti with meat sauce
Snack: 2 cups of red beans and rice
Supper: ham sandwich (wheat bread, 2 dill pickles and light mustard), 1 cup of Sprite.

Remember, I do not eat like this while dieting for a show. I have to slowly change my eating habits because if I don't I get moody and irritable. A Dietician friend of mine told me that diet is very emotional. I know that is so true cause I have experienced it many times. The supplements that I am taking right now are:

Multi-Vitamin and Mineral
Ester C+ (Vit C, Echinacea, Golden Seal Root)

I am drinking lots of Spring water also. I drink water all day long. I think I'm going to have to go take something for this headache. I hate taking medicine even Aspirin. Have you seen the side effects of Aspirin? It's pretty scary and a mile long! Now, they recommend one a day to keep your heart healthy.

LEARNING IS ITS OWN EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD.
