Notice how some days your plans just go kablooie? Yesterday was one of those. I was following my plan and had a very filling sandwich for lunch.........then my beloved came home with a gordita which of course I had to eat. So I planned, since those were all my points for the day, to not eat the rest of the day (believe me, I was VERY full). We went out to do our early voting and check out a place he has to go today. And on the way home, he whimpered for a special barbeque place we love so of course I agreed to go. My concession was that I got a green salad -- but the rest was not such a great choice. Chopped beef, corn on the cob dipped in butter (eek, but great heh heh), and, um, peach cobbler (tiny amount, I swear, and he ate half). And all my plans for exercising went out the window since it was dark when we got home -- but I did do some exercises while on the couch (seriously, it gets my heart pumping to flail my legs around!)!
Not surprisingly, the scale this morning screamed a little bit, and today I'm playing catch up to prepare for my weigh in tomorrow evening. Just a protein shake this morning and so far planning a large salad with some tuna on it for a late lunch this afternoon. Then tonight work in the garden after strong walk with the dogs!!
Wish me luck!
My beloved sweet husband brought me a Taco Bell Gordita when he returned from taking one of our dogs to physical therapy. The bad news of course is that I ate the whole thing (6 pts!); the good news is that I journaled it (meaning I've reached my points for the day at 3 in the afternoon!). Tiny steps...............
I did somewhat better than I planned this weekend! Loads of physical work and play! Saturday I took my mom to the mall -- she walks slowly but really enjoys it, so that was like 3 hours of slow walking. Then I did some very hard work in the garden and walked the dogs. Sunday was a long walk for the dogs (we walk at a fast pace -- the dogs are trotting fast) then more very hard work in the garden. Lots of bending, lifting, stretching, walking. Then an evening walk with the dogs. Monday morning did an 8 mile bike ride with my sister-in-law after long walk with dogs (long being about 1.2 miles). Then helped my mom with some things around her apartment (sweating since she keeps it warm hahaha). Then I dug up and moved a 6' tree in our front yard. That was TOUGH and it felt just great physically and spiritually when I was done!
Foodwise, I actually journaled every day!! I'm thrilled! And that made me make some healthy choices (like getting a salad at Burger King with my mom)! And this morning, I feel energized and my weight is lower than Friday morning!
Have GREAT hopes for my weigh in on Thursday if I can keep this up!
How was your whole weekend???
