Stg 1 4B

Deadlifts 2/12 65lb
Shoulder dumbbell press 2/12 20lb
wide grip lat pulldown 2/12 50lb
Lunges 2/12 20lbs
rev. crunch 2/10 incl. 3

Increased weight/resistance on everything today. This was a good workout, and all the better since I hadn't been expecting to be able to work out at all this week. I should be able to go in on Thursday also, which is great.

A bit frustrated right now otherwise, but it's just a good indicator of how far I've come (and my family as well) with diet and healthy eating. My mother in law is visiting and staying until the 21st. She's a very unhealthy person, has constant depression, fibromyalgia, etc. With her, most of it is not legitimate, but self-created so she won't be held accountable to adulthood and taking care of herself if that makes sense. Yesterday she slept until 1:30pm. It was horrible. And then when I came home from work she told me she'd taken the day off. "From what?" I asked. She doesn't work or anything. It's strange.

Anyway, my DH had to go to the store and pick up a few things and apparently she used the chance to have him buy food her her. I guess she was not a fan of all the healthy food we keep around the house and wanted her Pepsi, chips, and junk food snacks. And I'm curious to see how long she can hold out before begging him to take her to McDonalds.

It's not that I was offended, per se, but it just made me want to rant a bit because the truth of the matter is, she's on so many medications because of her "health problems" but she puts incredible amounts of absolute GARBAGE into her body. It makes me curious (and I'm sure I'll never find out) what would happen if she was forced to eat a clean diet for 6 months.

I'm sure she'd find her excuses disappearing. I'd love to think positive and hope that maybe this time spent with us would at the very least get her off the junk food habit but she's addicted and I truthfully don't see that happening.

Anyway, it was quite the contrast because it made me think about the fact that we just don't have junk around the house. That makes me proud

I think the closest we have are triscuit crackers.
