I sent time outside of the house today, took a nap, ran errands and spent time with good firends for dinner.
What I ate:
Breakfast:
- cottage cheese
- water
- 13 high fiber crackers
- blackberries and raspberries (2 servings of fruit)
Lunch was at Whole Foods for lunch, ate from the salad bar:
- BIG water
- double service of dry steamed broccoli with lemon and pepper only (2 servings of veggies)
- serving of cooked carrots (1 serving of veggies)
- 1/2 the serving spoon of mac and cheese (about 4 forkfuls)
- 1 large thin slice fresh smoked turkey breast that was TO DIE FOR. They had just brought it out of the the smoker and carved it in front of my eyes. So good.
Snack:
- greek yogurt (lots of protein)
- water
Dinner:
- Lou Malnotti’s pizza (2 pieces from a small pizza)
- One 12 oz diet coke
- 12 oz hot tea
- water
What I liked about today:
- spent time with friends and really enjoyed myself, without dwelling on the fact that “bad” food was going to be part of the night. Yes, I ate pizza, yes, I drank soda. But the PROUD OF ME moment is that I only ate 2 slices when I would have normally eaten 6. I had only one 12 oz soda – normally it would have been 4 or 5. I ate slowly, enjoyed the moment with my friends and savored the pizza I had. It was a very good night.
- While I didn’t formally workout (AGAIN!) today, I did get in 5100 steps. That is 1/2 way to my goal of 10,000 steps a day. I have to remember that slow and steady wins the race. I can and will work my way up to 10,000.
What was kind of a set back today:
- The whole no formal workout thing bummed me out. I know I will get there. I feel like I need to get a handle on my eating first (which I seem to be doing pretty well so far. My goal is to get 6000 steps tomorrow. I know I can do it.
How did you do?
