Entering Body Shred

Hi everyone! Hotel life is going all right. I could get used to having breakfast cooked for me every morning. ;) That makes it hard in a way though, it's so easy to pick the wrong choices OR eat too much. Would it be weird to take my own measuring cups down to where breakfast is served to get the right portion size? Yeah, didn't think so! I'm trying my best to make healthy options. Being stuck in a hotel without knowing if you'll be moved to another hotel or moving to another more permanent, yet still temporary home makes it difficult to really make plans, work out a schedule, and even just liven up your room. Christmas is 15 days away, but I've not done much about it, except bake. A lot. Chocolate and peanut butter fudge, cookies, brownies... the sweets seem endless! I'm really struggling with eating healthy right now. I can't say I would struggle like this as much at home, but I don't know. At home, I can at least go to another room or do something. Here I'm a little stuck.

Current workout is Body Shred! I started yesterday after inquiring in a Jillian Michaels group on Facebook how much space one really needs for it. I thought why not!? I was looking into some BeachBody workouts such as LIIFT4, Core De Force, or even 80 Day Obsession. 80 Day Obsession says you need a 6x6 space. I have about a 4ish by 6ish space. I noticed a lot of the workouts for Beach Body are longer, but have a few minutes where each move is explained. In some moves I'm grateful fo that, but in others I've done it so many times I don't need an explanation. I'm hooking my laptop up to the tv and playing workouts through a flash drive as it's all I have right now, and it's difficult to fast forward. I'm familiar with Jillian so I thought, why not? Body Shred always intimidated me, but I've got the first two days done and tomorrow is the cardio day. So far I enjoy it a LOT. Phew! It's Jillian's classic 3-2-1 style that 30 Day Shred and Ripped In 30 has, but in a group setting like Body Rev. And some of my favorites are back! Kenta, Jamie, Omar (!!) and more! So that's cool. Like I said, only in week 1, just started yesterday. Hopefully I'm not biting off more than I can chew!
