Day 5

This morning Mike made my breakfast of egg whites and turkey bacon--very high in protein. I ate lunch at NERCC today but only finished half of it, so that's portion control. I had a protein bar this afternoon. Then Mike had dinner waiting for me when I got home from work, a shrimp stir fry--so yummy and healthy, and what a wonderful man! I didn't eat dinner right away, but I did my fitness routine for the night: Legs & Back X and Ab Ripper X. It is a combo workout, like the arms and shoulders with the abs. I was able to do both and keep up till the end of both. Very proud of myself! Mike is too. He told me to mention that he's already lost 4 pounds in the 5 days we've been "bringing it."
I have to admit that I had a little problem tonight. I began the Legs & Back X with terrible pain in my feet. My toes and balls have such pain that it brought me to tears. I openly howled in pain and sat down during the fitness routine. Mike comforted me, let me cry, then I began the routine again and babied my feet. But, as you know, I finished. I've been having problems with my toes and feet (both) since day one. I can't remember if I've mentioned it yet. But, they hurt!! It's so weird. It's not that the feet and toes are fatigued or that I've pulled a muscle in my feet (is that even possible?), it begins with the very first exercises. It's frustrating!!
