End of Week Ni-Ban..

Hanging in there, really tried to push it this week but got pretty burnt out. Played an hour of Futsal on Wednesday and did the workouts w/the skips; felt rough but did it. On Thursday, I played basketball for nearly 2 hours and I was absolutely spent and I couldn't do the workout or the skips, so I switched it to the jump-rope day because of all the cardio. Anyway, still felt like a fail...After that, the workouts have been a bit of a struggle, but am getting through them. I think one thing that will help is just posting that I did the workout that day. That way it will help me going forward so I will do that from now on. So today, the workout is completed, I did 'Day 12's' workout(bball day) and 800 skips instead of 700.

I have tried a couple times to go out but it just gets stressful having to go through the high-school peer pressure again when the fact is I would love nothing more to grab a few beers or rip into a pizza, curry, buffalo wings or some karage with my friends. Funny enough, I think most of the peer-pressure is put on by me, wanting to join in but knowing I can't. Today I ate out twice and I tried to stick to the diet as best as possible and with breakfast I did that with a 2 egg & vegetable omelet, a greek salad(dipping my fork in dressing,) and toast with no butter... For lunch I did as well, making grilled fish(a bit of lemon & soy sauce) with rice and ate a tomato. For dinner I cheated a little(as I am sure the salt content is high), as I had korean BBQ, with the best intentions, though I will admit to crushing two rice bowls of babimbap for carbs, kimchee, a bunch of meat and bit of grilled vegetables with a lot of tea on the side. Anyway, I definitely thought a lot more about the food, but at the same time I knew I was veering off the diet.

Looking forward to cooking all day tomorrow as I have thought up some new ideas.
