Fantastic Friday
Yesterday was a great day. I felt like I was running around a lot. I didn't get as much done as I wanted but it wa still a good day.
I started off the day with a legs, shoulders, and triceps workout with a personal trainer. My legs felt pretty burnt out so I did a 25 minute elliptical workout instead of the treadmill. Post gym, I stopped at the grocery to pick up ingredients for green smoothies (http://greenlitebites.com/2011/02/02/our-new-favorite-green-smoothie/). Little victory: I did not invade the chip aisle or Protein bars.
I'm really trying to stick to Not Eating in the Car.
Smoothie was a success, then I ran to Target. The pink bag I wanted was on sale! Plus I picked up a tank top for our trip to LA and another running skirt. I chatted with my sister too.
The husband and I got lunch on the patio of mexican restaurant. I ordered the lunch portion of the vegetarian fajitas and water. I went a little nuts on the chips but pushed away my meal when done. (I didn't eat everything on my plate just because it was There!)
Straightened the house a little bit, picked a few weeds, zipped over the yoga. It was a heated intermediate class. I felt strong in my poses. The core stuff I've been doing in the gym is paying off. It was good to sweat. It felt good to be doing something good for my body and mind.
The husband and I wrapped up the day by walking to the frozen custard stand (a little over 2 miles total) I debated between Birthday Cake frozen custard and Chocolate Covered Pretzel frozen yogurt. The custard was only 30 calories more and I love Birthday Cake!
Chips and beer and ice cream can add up real fast. But I've been steady lately. We went out to lunch, but I kept that in mind with what I was eating the rest of the day. It felt good to be in control yesterday and trust myself to make choices. I'm taking a deep breathe and getting this compulsive eating thing under control. I ask myself if I'm bored or thirsty or actually hungry. Even when I'm super hungry, I take a step back and assess "What will I decide to eat" instead of just eating whatever I can get my hands on. I feel good today.
weight: 128 & 125.4. my scale needs new batteries. My tight jeans don't feel as tight.
