Curse my weak arms (Day 5 of 90)

I couldn't do a pull up to save my life. Really. If I was hanging off the edge of a skyscraper, I would definitely be sidewalk pizza. *SPLAT!* I think that's bad. I think it's probably a good idea for a person to be able to lift their own body weight. You never know when you'll find yourself hanging somewhere. Hey, it could happen! And if it ever does, I want to be able to pull my own body up and save myself. I do not want to be dangling helplessly, watching my fingers popping off one by one right before I'm quickly introduced to the ground.

Plus, let's be honest, it's just hot for a girl to be able to do a few pull ups.

So, today was day five and I did the Legs & Back DVD. I had to use resistance bands instead of doing legit pull ups, but I've got my eye on that pull up bar and someday I WILL be able to do an unassisted pull up. Today I used my AbMat to do my sit ups and it was much better than the other day without it! I find that I'm much more stable and this way it doesn't hurt my back. Awesome!

Still struggling with the nutrition plan. The recipes are tasty and the portions are large, but every recipe requires way too much time. If I had a chef on staff, it'd be great. But the reality is that I don't have the time to prepare three or four complex menu items for lunch and dinner everyday.

I need to come up with a different nutrition plan.

Kenpo tomorrow! Day 6, I'm comin' to get ya!
