P90X - Day 35

Week 5, Day 7

Workout:
None.

Today I went shopping. I had several errands to run. A t-shirt I bought at the GAP last week had a hole in it, so I wanted to return that.

Plus, I'm really tired of my "media storage" situation. I have too many CDs for the space that I have. Throw in the few VHS tapes (yes, I still have a few that haven't gotten replaced), and the DVDs, the stacks look a mess ... and topple sometimes. That's what happened with the CDs this week. While loading up the CD changer "magazine" this week with "new" music, I accidentally knocked a couple CDs behind the shelf system. So, I decided to reorganize them all so there weren't these high stacks on top. I now have about 100 CDs that don't have a home. And, I still have to empty the one shelf system so I can move it and retrieve the runaway CD cases.

So, I decided a trip to IKEA was in order. They have cool, cheap stuff that sometimes looks really nice. The problem is, that I've been using these little baby-bookshelves for media storage. There's wasted space and there's space further up the wall that could be utilized that isn't. I'm thinking that if I can find something that is made for CDs (and DVDs) I could store more in less space.

I found these totally cool cabinets that I bought. They were only $100 a piece (I bought 2 ... should keep me going for a little while). So, by the time I got home from all my errand running, I actually wanted to take a nap, but instead put together one of the cabinets.

So ... again I've managed to find something else to do instead of exercise!!

There's a new Challenge going on. Discipline is all it takes! Workout for the next 23 days (no missed workouts). And, cut out all "food porn".

"Food Porn" being:

1. No dairy
2. No soda
3. No fried foods
4. No simple carbs/white anything
5. No fatty/processed meats

There's not really much here that would be required of me. I've mostly cut out sodas--would be easy to cut them out completely for a little over 3 weeks. I'm trying to cut out the simple carbs/"white" food already. I'm vegetarian, so the fatty/processed meats isn't a problem, either!! I don't eat a lot of fried food ... but by telling myself I can't have any, I'm going to start craving something fried!! The only thing that would be difficult for me is the dairy ... not that I drink a lot of milk (I'm already trying to switch toward soy/rice/almond milks), but I would miss the cheese mostly. And, the rare ice cream.

But, I think it would be good for me. So, I'm going to do it.

Unfortunately, I only now found out about it (I've been a little absent). So, I'm going to miss "day 1" of the challenge. But, the 23 days was really 24, so I'll be doing it for 23 days.

Goals:

1. Core Synergistics.
   
2. Drink 6 bottles of water.
3. Write down everything I eat.
4. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
