Week 2 - re-do

Well, since I completely bonked last week I've decided to start week two all over again, and survived the second day so far. I must say, Pure Cardio is - by far - the hardest DVD out of the series. I mean, 15 minutes of ongoing high intensity cardio with no breaks?! Sheesh! It exhausts me but I still feel SO GOOD after :) (Re-reading that last sentence sounds pretty absurd considering I've completed so many marathons and triathlons. After all, 15 minutes of cardio seems like small potatoes in comparison, but I gotta say, the intensity in long-distance running is nothing like I get from this workout). Still, my diet is my worst enemy. I made some turkey chili last night and, although it's somewhat healthy, it leaves me feeling bloated and too full. We had a mexican buffet provided by the hospital for lunch today, and that wasn't exactly a smart choice either (topped off with three cookies - not good). Again, I feel that if I'm going to put this much work into this program I need to make more of an effort to control my cravings and food intake. I have always had such a hard time saying "no" to food when it's right in front of me. Especially when it's free and bad for me :/ I know I'm going to sound like a lot of my patient's here but, "Can't I just get a pill for that?"
