So yesterday I struggled with lunch and breakfast. The only thing I did that I wanted to do was Day 1 of my running workout...which wasn't running, oddly enough. BUT, it is a proven exercise plan and it makes sense, so I will follow it to the T for the full 8 weeks. If it doesn't work, you'll be the first to know!
Today, I woke up renewed. My drive, my senses, and most of all, my spirit :) I feel like I can actually do what I intend to do...get in shape and LOSE weight! This is partially due to an article I read yesterday during my "candy bar or soda" debate. A woman in the article was formerly over 300 lbs. She decided to get into shape. She got up every day at 2:30am and went for a jog that eventually helped her lose 100 lbs in 18 months! That's so phenomenal and so motivational, I can't begin to describe how it makes me feel. I am going to do that too. I am going to exercise my butt off, literally!
If you're interested, I found a solution to my problem yesterday: popcorn. I had some microwavable popcorn in my closet and had that for lunch. No a whole bag, just 2 cups or so with about 4 oz of Coke. The almost entire bottle is still sitting on my desk. I'm not even interested in drinking it. :) Dinner was not so great, but not so terrible. It was Dining Divas night out (dinner club with girls from work) and we went to the Greek buffet. There was lots of food, but I stayed away from sweets, bread, potatoes, and fried. I ate shwerma (roasted meat from a skewer) and lots of tabouli (parsley with cracked wheat, tomatoes, and lemon) and drank unsweetened tea. I had birthday cake, but it was medium in portion, so I think I'm okay.

ReplyDeletegood for you!! I ate some candy after breakfast, so it was salad and soup again today for lunch :)
ReplyDeleteno walking yet, but we'll be going to the carnival tonight to walk off some fat :)
Lunch: About 2 cups green salad, 2-4 T cheddar shreds, half a serving of honey mustard dressing and half a serving of ranch dressing, topped with about 2 oz baked/breaded chicken. Water and a handful of cashews, Brazil nuts, and almonds.
ReplyDeleteCould have been a little healthier, but it's not too bad!
