Day 10- I'm TIRED

I might be using this blog post to put off working out for today -_-

Energy & Motivation:

Today I woke up and then went back to sleep.
After I finally pulled myself out of bed I went downstairs to have breakfast. 

That is as far as I have gotten and it is now 10:00 AM
I have no motivation to do the video today. Maybe the no rest day is starting to catch up to me. 
So as I procrastinate I am going to tell you a bit about the supplements portion of what I am doing.

Supplements: Shakeology? Other protein powders? Add a pre-workout drink?

I started to debate whether to do Shakeology with this 21 day fix or not. Last week prob around Day 4 I did some research. People were getting great results with it. So I thought Why not? 

When I went to order it........  $129.99 for a 30 day supply. WHATTTTTTT??? 

I am not made of money. That's $4.33 a pop, $5.45 if you do the packets instead of the bag.
Since I started this diet my grocery budget went from like $60.00 a week to like $120.00 a week. 

I cannot find a way to justify that much money even if it is a meal replacement.

But then I thought what if it is a miracle, in powder form, so I bought 3 packets on ebay. 1 Choco, 1 Vanilla, 1 Strawberry. That ran me about $25. So I tried it. Gross. Just gross.

So back to the internet I went...
I found another protein powder called FitMiss Delight

http://www.esupplements.com/products/fitmiss-delight

At $27.95  for a 30 day supply (2lbs) it was looking better and better. ($0.93
It is designed specifically for women.
I am not a nutritionist but I did my best to evaluate all of the ingredients. (Thanks Google!)
Then I did a side by side comparison with Shakeology and found:

FitMiss:
0.5G more fat
35mgs more cholesterol
Shakeology:8G more sugar
10mg more sodium
But it does have more extracts and vitamins. (Do I need them if I take a multi vitamin?)
 
So I mean there are trade offs and benefits to both of them.

I figure with having to add things to make Shakeology taste better I will be adding to the sugar, fat, and cholesterol content per shake.

Flavor (IMO)- Fitmiss Vanilla Chai tastes 200 times better than Shakeology on its own.

Pre-workout or a thermogenic?
I have been debating on whether or not to get a pre-workout supplement. I have found Athena Intense which has a great review on www.bestpreworkoutforwomen.com

It sells for $39.99 for a 30 day supply.
I think I need something to help me kick off working out. For example: TODAY. :) I know once i start working out i'll be energized but it's the whole starting thing that I don't want to do today. Maybe it has something to do with that subway that I ate yesterday?

I tried a Thermogenic on Day 5  (GNC Raw Refine). It kicked my intensity up 500% during the workout like I killed it! But afterwards I kept feeling light headed and I couldn't get my pulse down for like 20-30 minutes after the workout. I'm not sure if it was the Thermogenic or the fact that I worked out harder than I had since starting the fix?

I tried it again on Day 8 and I don't think it did anything for me. Like nothing no extra sweat no extra energy. I'm not to sure what to think. Does anyone reading this use a pre-workout or a thermogenic?

8 Hours later

********CHEATERALERT********

I feel like such a failure right now.... I still haven't worked out and as I type I am eating a Krispy Cream Doughnut. 

I swear I keep trying to tell myself to stop..... but I am just not listening to the skinny me inside my head. It is just soooo goooodddddd. It's all my sisters fault (see how I place blame.) I haven't majorly cheated at all on this diet but today has just been that day where everything I am working for seems too far away and this one doughnut wont hurt me.

Back to how this is my sisters fault lol- Now I don't think I would have eaten said doughnut if she hadn't gone to the store and bought them. To add extra temptation she ate one IN FRONT OF ME... How dare she!! (mock insult) 

Thats not all-
She also bought potato puffs and chicken tenders. They were Alexia brand so not as unhealthy as normal ones but not 21 day fix approved none-the less. But they did taste magical.

I still have not worked out today ....procrastination at its finest (YAY ME)
I am going to bet I wont end up actually working out today so I am just going to decide right now that this is a rest day for me. It will be the only one I get. I will also double up for the next 3 days to make up for it. (1 for the doughnut, One for the Alexia food, and One for the workout I didn't do today)
