Ya! It's Friday and the beginning of a three day weekend. At least for me. Wanted to talk briefly about another of my motivators. I have a wall calendar that whenever I do some exercise (beyond normal stuff) I mark the calendar. For example every Sat I have written PT for personal trainer. The rest of the week if I went to the gym, I mark "gym" on the calendar. It's quite exhilarating to look at the calendar towards the end of the month and see all the days marked gym or PT. Also to see if there is a pattern to the days not marked gym or something else exercise wise. When it gets nicer I will start marking the days I go for a bike ride. Alright here's the story of my day according to the food:
Breakfast: Egg sandwich with banana and 20oz of cold water.
Snack: Greek yogurt w/almonds
Lunch: Today a bit different. I didn't go to Subway as I normally do. Instead I brought from home a turkey burger and prepared a burger on a skinny bun with peanut butter, tomato, and avocado. I also had a serving of the Pop chips.
Snack: Nothing except a small win in that there was an open bag of Cheetos on the lunchroom table and I passed on eating any. Small victories work well. I did crack open a green tea drink that is approved by Men's Health as a healthy choice.
Dinner: I had a can of soup from Trader Joe's. It was split pea and was 100 cal per serving with a serving and a half total in the can. I had the entire can plus a serving of a cauliflower and broccoli mix of prepared foods from Trader Joe's. I also finished off half a bottle of red wine and had a 100 cal bag of popcorn. I just realized that the bottle of wine was opened the night before and I hadn't included it in my list. I wasn't trying to cheat I just forgot as I did the list this morning.
No workout today but tomorrow is my time with L. I look forward to what she has planned.
