Turbulence Training workout A

I have to say that I find TT's workout A easier than B. Each workout requires the entire body including all of the tiny balancing muscles that I never knew I had so they're each equally challenging. Maybe it's because B seems to focus on legs and lower body which are by far my weakest muscles or maybe it's all my imagination. Either way I enjoyed last night's workout (A) much more than two nights ago. I failed in the eating department yesterday. I don't know why but I ate a handful of marshmallows. BAD, bad,bad!! I haven't ate marshmallows in years, I know I don't love them. It's because I'm "dieting" that I craved them. I kicked my own butt on the rowing machine after strength training to make up for it. When I was supposed to be giving an 8 out of 10 (per TT) I gave 10 out of 10. Tough and I didn't want to do it but I feel good for doing it. Just starting each workout is a challenge for me. I wish I were a gym rat, someone who enjoyed working out, a person who could be pumped and looking forward to pumping iron but I'm so not that person. I know that nothing comes easy and that anything worth having i.e.: a few shed lbs by our 10TH anniversary and a bathing suit body by summer is worth putting in all the effort. The tricky part is staying focused and keeping those things in mind when temptations arise. A month ago I would have taken my "failure" to the extreme. I would have stopped working out, ate whatever I wanted all day long and then felt horrible about myself for giving up for an entire week. That's not the case. I'm sticking with this...... for the first time! It feels good.
Well, it's off for some cleaning while Douglas and Daniel are out playing.
