The S#!* that Lauren says...

It's been a couple days since I last checked in. I have now accomplished almost a full week of this fitness transformation. It has been a crazy week! I have had the blessing of my great workout partner, Whitney, to join me along the way. Here is a breakdown of the past couple days:

Sunday- since I last wrote on Sunday, I was lazy and thought it would be a great idea to prep meals as I go versus all at once. BAD IDEA. Every day has been a struggle to get everything prepped and ate on time (oddly enough). I blame it on being too sore, but preparing meals is definitely the way to go.

Monday-This was my first day doing my conditioning workout without Robert. Let's face it, I was a sally. I introduced the regiment to Whit and we did it together. While I don't feel like I got that great of a workout compared to with Robert. Whitney corrected me on my squats, when in reality, I just couldn't get low because it hurt! Don't worry, she felt it on Wednesday...

Tuesday- Oh, man...this day was a doozy! I had an emergency that got my nerves all worked up, which affected my workout. I did about 35 minutes on the elliptical and felt like I was about to pass out or puke. I tried to walk it out-literally- on the treadmill, but it didn't work! Wah Wah...I was pissed! On the funny side, I am not supposed to eat apples with skin on them, so instead I chose to act like a child and bite out of the center of each slice around the skin...it was hilarious.

Wednesday- I got my Beats by Dre! I am so excited to use them today for Cardio! The nasty taste of chicken is still messing with me...so I am mixing all my food together. If you saw it, you'd be disgusted! Haha, it's great. But, whatever works, right? I met again with Whit to do conditioning again. It was much better! I am a little sore today...but, it feels awesome. I spent the remainder of the night cooking my Steak (I cheated and put a LITTLE salt on it...I mean, come on!) and running around for my last minute costume items. It all paid off!
 


So that brings us up until today! Today is Halloween! I am so excited to celebrate with my co-workers, but I have a date with the gym tonight. I am going to knock out my cardio and hopefully have some time to spend with my friends and family tonight. Can't wait to give you updates...and maybe we will get more pics later this week. Until then, here are a few things you've probably heard come from my mouth the past couple days:
  • But the chicken is so chicken-y 
  • Who knew that a cup full of almonds was so much! I am almond' out!
  • Those donuts look really good!
  • That almond tasted like ant poison...not like I know what that tastes like, but you know what I mean!
  • I'm still not looking forward to eggs
  • What the hell do you put on steak if you don't have salt?!
  • Is that a milkshake you're drinking Lauren? Heck yea, a Muscle Milk Milkshake...same thing...not really.
  • You can't have any of my nuts, they're portioned out
  • We deserve a trip to Hawaii after this competition
  • I am just living the dream
  • This isn't that good, I promise you that.
