Good Morning, happy Sunday. Today was my first weigh in and I lost 2 pounds!
I am soooo excited.
My mom is visiting from out of town this week for 8 days so I am concerned cause I won't be able to go to the gym as much this week and we will be eating in restaurants for dinner. She comes Wednesday and stays a week. I am planning to work extra hard today through the time she gets here.
Congrats on the 2 pounds! Just have a plan for when your Mom is here, enjoy yourself and if you slip get back on the wagon as soon as things get back to normal!
Rose I am so sorry that the knee is giving you continued problems. Is it time to get it checked out yet?
for not being able to run right now.
Hope you see a loss tomorrow Lindsay! I know you have worked hard this week.
My self diagnosis is the knee thing is itb syndrome. And honestly from everything I have read the first course is rest and ice and stretching, then physical therapy and then steroids. I feel like it was definitely healing and I just ran too soon, so I'm going to give it another week. I don't see the point yet in spending a boatload of money for them to tell me to rest, ice and stretch. It is really frustrating, but what can you do? This is the universe's way of telling me I need to work on my patience a little more.
QOTD: I like grilled chicken, tomato, cucumber, mushrooms, red onion and a low-cal or ff ranch.
I love cucumbers! And ranch dressing!
Tracey--glad you are feeling better!
It was DH birthday dinner last night and I overdid it, but not horribly. I swear I just eat and eat and eat. We went to Kobe Steaks a Japanese Hibachi place and wow do they cook with butter. I didn't get the fried rice, yay me..but after I ate the clear soup, salad, broccoli, onions, muchrooms, shrimp and petit filet, I thought I am stuffed. Saw my steamed rice and downed it. Yeah, i need to remember I dont' HAVE to clean my plate. the good news is knowing I was going out I didn't eat much during the day. Also had a small scoop of ice cream and 2 beers..yeah, I know can I stop at 1? Sheesh. On another good note for the day, we went to the movies and I didn't eat any popcorn, which is a miracle for me as I love my movie popcorn.
I need to get some good exercise in today, my heel is bothering me so guess I will do bike in the basement and some core work.
Happy Sunday everyone! I am missing that hour of sleep.
Julie--I like salsa too! I put it on lots of things! Sorry about the heel.
I must say, resting my knee is helping my heel!
As for the night out. I used to eat more when I had alcohol. Now I just don't eat. Not sure which is worse. I think the issue here is, were you ok with how last night went or did you feel out of control with the eating? If you were ok with it, then tell yourself it was one night, you enjoyed yourself and move on. If you felt out of control, then think about what you could do different next time. Maybe you decide you want the two beers, but the rice is not worth any calories so you don't have them bring you any. Maybe you have them box half your food immediately. I have used both of these strategies. Maybe the beer isn't worth it. Have them close your check out. I've done this before too. Then I won't order anything else. I've also moved the bread basket out of arm's reach and out of my line of sight. Willpower does not always work but planning and strategies often do. It will get easier.
Speaking of nights out...we had fun with our friends last night. I probably did not eat enough and probably did have a little too much to drink, but that's ok. I had veggie kabobs with black beans. The black beans made me nervous because I'm just not convince they didn't have gluten in them. (The server did not speak English very well.) I kept moving my food to Mike's plate. He told me this morning--you ate nothing. Oh well. I had fun.
I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. We finished up our taxes, finally and just finished watching the cats beat the gators! Mike is very happy!
A girl could only hope right. My mom has offered to get them new sneaks so thats why we are going again today. After that it is home to spring clean. My house is a mess and its giving me anxiety. I also need to get to the store so we have some healthy food to choose from. Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I am hoping to finally report some good news to Tracey.
) is to leave on a Tuesday, have Wed-Fri in the parks, do the Princess 5k Sat morning then go straight to the cruise ship for a 7 day cruise. Any input on how crazy this is can begin now!
