I Thought My Ass Was Going to Fall Off!

So it looks like my gym schedule is Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.  Today we worked on stretching and strengthening my lower body.  We used resistance bands quite a lot and I am telling you I can sure feel it!

There was one exercise that was particularly evil.  It is called the clam shell exercise and I did not think I was going to be able to complete 3 sets of 10.  I got through it but it was tough.  Start watching the video at 49 seconds.

A lot of the exercises that my trainer wanted me to do tonight were aimed at working my hips, butt and thighs but because my stomach muscles are so week it ended up really working those muscles as well.  It was a really good work out - my muscles are tired tonight.

For my meals today I once again ate nothing but sandwiches.  So far, restricting my carbs to a Fibre 1 bar on days that I don't work out and then pigging out on bread on my workout days is really curbing any cravings that I might have had.  Instead of having to tell myself that I can never eat pasta or bread now I just have to tell myself I can't eat it today but I can have it tomorrow.

I guess I will have to see how this will effect my weight loss goals in the long run but if it works that would be totally awesome because I love bread and pasta.  I am noticing though that I am starting to get sick of sandwiches :)  I can't wait for tomorrow to have my Mexican Spaghetti Squash and I still have to finish a serving of Zucchini Alfredo.
