Some things that amaze me.....

I know I know! I'm behind.  But I've been working hard.  On Thursday I did day 8 of shred as promised and on Friday (crazy day) I walked AND shredded.  As amazing as I feel when I do back to back work-outs, I've decided that I like it better when I take a break in between work-outs....on my double w/o days.  Overall I'm feeling great and I'm noticing the most difference in my abs and arms.
Now I'd like to point out some things that amaze me that I've discovered lately.
1.) I'm amazed at my lack of appetite.  Don't get me wrong....I DO get hungry.  But I'm getting fuller faster.  Example:  Last night I ordered this INSANELY loaded with calories and fat sandwich.  It was a Monte Cristo.....hadn't had one in a VERY long time.  There was a time when I could eat the whole thing....and of course, feel like doggie doo afterwards.  Much to my surprise, when my food arrived (the Monte Cristo with a side of slaw) my gut instantly turned it away....before it even touched my mouth.  Even though it "sounded" good....it's not what my body wanted.  I only ate one piece (it was cut into 4) along with the slaw and the pickle.
2.) Second thing I'm amazed at, and this kind of links into reason #1, is the fact that I'm totally craving different things now.  If anyone has any interesting feedback in regards to this I sure would like to know. 
3.) Third.....I'm amazed at how well I'm feeling.  No aches, pains, headaches, sleeping problems...in fact, I'm sleeping better than I ever have. At this point I can't imagine resorting back to any other sort of life-style.  Before I always found excuses to not work as hard.....excuses like, too much school work, too much house work, oh it's the holidays, it's cold out....blah blah blah....NO MORE.  =)
Today is my last day of shredding on level 2.  And I'm gonna do it.....RIGHT NOW.
