24 Days Out Till Show
So, I actually had done my cardio and lifted yesterday. I procrastinated for about an hour before I actually got around to the lifting. It seems to be getting better. I’ve been thinking about what’s up with the procrastination and I can only come up with two reasons: 1) My body’s gone to hell since I had surgery and it’s definitely not the same, or reacts the same it used and 2) any pain I incur due to working out (i.e. shoulder tendinitis, pulling something, etc.). Once I get passed number one, I’ll be fine with number two. After all, even though I’m in pain in my shoulders, I still attend my muay thai training, because I just absolutely love the sport. I’d actually like to consider a match, however, I suck at sparring. Mostly due to not knowing how and the fact that I’m afraid to get hurt. Not hit, but hurt. I hate pain.
My nutrition was a bit better, although I have done my last "splurging" on jello and had like a teaspoon, or less, of pb to which I felt guilty. So, no more. Just one serving of Jello and protein for my last meal. Maybe I’ll mix the protein with cocoa powder. Make it chocolatier.

Came up with a new recipe for those interested in something new. This may sound kind of "eh", but it’s actually pretty tasty, specifically frozen.
Jell-0 & Pudding
1 box Vanilla pudding, sugar-free, fat-free
1 box Jell-O flavor of choice, I used raspberry, my fave
Prepare Jell-O according to speed set directions. Be sure to allow the Jell-O to get really thick, even if you have to stick it in the fridge for a while. You don’t want it set, just thickened. Then prepare pudding according to directions. If dairy is allowed in your diet, knock yourself out and use fat-free milk. In this case, I used water. Yes, not as tasty, but effective for cravings. Allow that to set, or thicken up. Once both are thickened, mix pudding with Jell-o, but do not mix thoroughly. Allow for swirl in there, like a swirling for a marble cake. Either put in ramekins, or small dishes and set in fridge, or put them in popsicle molds (good ones do exist, you may have to get them through Tupperware) and set in freezer. Enjoy!
So, as I said, I had like the fridge version and a popsicle. Popsicle style was WAY better. I’m assuming the pudding isn’t that great to have, seeing as how I’m cutting carbs down to 2 a day for 5 days. This is for cravings, so I’ll use it for that and probably prepare regular Jell-o to have more of.
Gotta start drinking Redi-Cat around 2 PM today for my CT Scan later at 8 PM. Have to drink half at two and the other have 90 min before. So not looking forward to it. It smells citrucy and my sister and I tasted (has a nurse practitioner, it’s only fair she tastes it). It’s pre-mixed. She said it tasted like an orange creamsicle. I didn’t believe her, so I tasted it. It does, but with a super strong orange tang in the back of your tongue. I put it in the fridge so that it would be a bit more tolerable.
Gotta go. Peace out.
