I hate TOM.
If it isn‘t for the stupid bloating (how did my lost lbs find their way back?), stupid cramps, stupid exhaustion, and stupid carb cravings…it is the ridiculousness that I’m not having anymore kids, so who needs it? Yeah, I know the whole hormone thing. My mom gets a horrified look when I say I can’t wait until menopause. Anyway…can you guess where I am in my month? Isn’t there a bodyfat when that goes away? I’ve just been so hungry yesterday and today and I don’t WANT a protein…unless a bowl of peanut butter and choclate counts? No. Ok fine.
Did I ever mention I love lifting weights? I love the feeling of strength, even at my lowest weights. I like the looks I get when I can curl a 50lb barbell. That rocks. I love knowing I have not had one unauthorized thing pass my lips for 8 whole days. I stared at a Jolly Rancher sucker for a long time today. Then I gulped my water and put it back. Victory. I’ve been looking at a lot of pictures of comps and man am I ready to take this on. A few people where I work know about it and actually didn’t laugh me off the planet, so that was nice.
Now, I must go cook some chicken. I’m actually ok with the chicken. I’m a little burnt on broccoli, but I didn’t really love it to begin with. As someone once said, you can bet all my competitiors are happily eating their chicken and broccoli. So, off I go. Until tomorrow…

How about broccoli slaw instead of plain old broccoli. I love it!!! You find it in the produce section with the bagged lettuce. I mix it with my chicken or turkey breast and a TBSP of LF italian dressing. Yummy!!!!!!
BTW…..I hate TOM too!
