There is always a new day!

So, I posted everything that I was feeling and thought that would also help boost me to the top. It did in more than one way. I had a great breakfast and great lunch yesterday. But then I went to the movies. BTW don't see Where are the Morgans? or something like that. Not that great.

Yesterday was my last day of Christmas break and Jarrett had the day off. We relaxed around the house and then ventured out to the movies. We had already set a plan earlier in the day, but just like two silly people we broke the plan. We went to the movie around 4:30. Just about the time I am getting hungry. Needless to say we shared a small popcorn and drink. But wait! You might be thinking not that bad.

So, we came home and made dinner. We made whole wheat cheese tortellini with pesto sauce, garlic cheese toast, and steamed vegetables. I thought all in all not so bad. And it really isn't, but then I pulled out the WW points tracker and boy oh boy. According to that I went over 20 points. Now I am not really doing WW, but thought I would attempt to journal and if I am doing that then why not just write the points. So, I thought okay, now I have a better grasp.

Then today starts. Well, we(ladies from work) always go out to eat on work days or staff development days. I brought a healthy lunch just in case. So, I had a great breakfast again. Then they wanted to go to Razoos. Do I say, "Oh, I am watching what I eat, then give my frozen meal to the waiter?" So, I went along. I thought hmm coke; yes. Now food. What do I get? Should I get the chopped salad with blakened chicken or the cheeseburger? Now if you know Razoos then you know it is a cajun place, thus I was trying to make a descent choice. Everything is pretty much fried there and if it isn't it is pretty darn close to just as healthy as being fried. So, what did I get? You guessed it, the cheeseburger. Now, I said yesterday I have to work on my mind and this is the start. It was a half pound burger and I am sure I could have eaten a lot of it and all the fries. Instead I gobbled all the fries and ate only half the burger. So I had a quarter pounder with fries. Not soo great, but could have been a lot worse. I sure did miss out on some fried catfish.

Tonight I start my bootcamp. I haven't exercised that much in about five weeks. I was going three nights a week. Over the course of five weeks I have exercised four times. And those times it took the encouragement from my workout buddy that I used to workout with to push me. I am sure I will be dripping sweat and beat after tonight is over. After all I have been up since 4:30 with the hair dryer ghost.

  1. You have to explain the hair-dryer ghost. It's a great story now that we are a few hours away from it. But when it was happening it was very creepy.

    And I'll second what you said about lunch. Could have been worse. Plus we have a healthy dinner planned so you have some wiggle room.

  2. Yes the lunch could have been worse and I'm glad you are thinking through the eating situations. That's the tough part for me. The unintentional (or sometimes intentional) peer pressure is a definite source of weakness for me.

    Keep on taking steps toward your goal!
