Technology...Friend or Foe?

This laptop issue is so annoying.  Technology is so handy as long as it keeps working!  My laptop crashed right after I signed up to do Revolt.  Since all the workout videos are streamed off the website, this has caused me some irritation.  The first day, I used my hubby's Acer notebook, but the video was streaming all choppy because he doesn't run windows but instead this is his hacking computer that he runs some weird operating system.  He managed to download the video for me but only has one thumb drive that his OS reads... I lost it... or I think the kids did... I swear I put in on top of the tower speaker in our living room, but alas, it is gone.  Hubby said I should have put it in my pocket and guarded it with my LIFE.  Oops.  So the next day we managed to get his computer to read an external hard drive that has all our kids movies and kinda lives in our TV.  But for some reason that did not work today....

Today... oh my.  When my alarm went off at 5am, I must have shut it off instead of hitting snooze, as I usually do at least once or twice before I'm capable of managing more movement.  But somehow I woke up at 6:30.  I tried downloading the vid but was messing something up.  I realized I should just go eat breakfast, send the big lils to school and do my workout after. 

Then I realized, why am I fighting with this obscure OS??  I'll just go use the office computer that I blog on!  So after some mistakes and coaching and finally a take over from hubby, I got both todays' lower body sculpt and an upper body sculpt for Friday downloaded and put on my external hard drive!  Finally did my workout at 10am, yippee! ... er umm... now I say yippee... earlier it was "when's this gonna end?"  I couldn't do a full 30 sec of wall sits for the last 2 reps, I truly fall over while attempting reverse lunges and one leg dead lifts and my forward lunges are slow and shaky.... my squats are improving though :)   Had my protein shake... num num and carried on with my day.  My wee lil'est one is napping so at last I am blogging while drinking the best part of my week... my Berry Smoothie!!!!!

Report on yesterday.  I was a little confused as to whether or not to have 2 slices of bread with my breakfast since they are really really thin slices of sprouted grain bread.  I decided that in order to use all 4 egg whites (which on Sunday RAN all over my pan) I should use 2.  Otherwise, I followed the diet perfectly until I had to run to the city in the evening.  Standby McDonald's supper for my kidlets and I since I managed to quickly eat my soup before I left I planned to have a side salad.  I chose wrong.  I got the side Caesar and it was heaped with parm  and chunks of bacon.  I thought...well...its only a little cheat.  I hardly used any of the horrifically high cal dressing but then of course I ate a few of someone's fries and a bite of a burger.... truly it was only a bite... I just wanted to TASTE it!  Ugh... I lack will power.  So this morning I was up a half pound 179.5... thankfully I wasn't back to the 180's but I was thoroughly disappointed that a few lil cheats could make such a HUGE difference! 

Back to today... I made my egg in basket with ONE piece of sprouted grain bread and just poured a lot of the egg white all over the bread.  I'm otherwise sticking to my diet perfectly today and I will NOT cheat.  I'm looking forward to my rest day tomorrow because although I didn't complete ALL the workout perfectly today, my legs are just sore!!!  Hard to stand up and walk at times!  I hope that I eventually get to a point where I am in shape and these exercises are not so difficult and painful!

On the home front... My dearest cousin (might as well be sister) is getting married on Saturday and I have a busy week of helping decorate, joining in on a beauty day, rehearsal and of course the wedding itself!  I'm looking forward to my mani/pedi and spray tan!
