What a week it has been so far, and not a good one in my book as far as eating and exercising has gone. On Sunday I made country fried steak, fried okra, green beans, rice and gravy made with the pan drippings. Yeah, granted that is a lot of food and a lot of fried food, but I haven't made this since I started this journey over a year ago and I know that having it just once isn't going to kill my "diet" or weight loss. But then Monday rolls around....I hit the gym like I normally do, did a pretty good cardio workout and did my legs...good so far, right? Then I went to my therapy appointment and afterwards I was hungry for lunch...I should have just drove home and had lunch there, but no I stop at Chick-fil-a. I got the chicken strip salad, that alone isn't that bad but I used to much dressing and I had a coke instead of the water I should have had. But I could have just finished the day out well with a good healthy dinner, but did I? Nope, we called in Outback take-out...where I got a house salad and an order of cheese fries of my own and proceeded to eat almost all of it, ugh....what in the world was I thinking? But I let that go as well...but I came into a dilemma with Tuesday and getting my workout in. I had a meeting/class from 8:45 to 2:00 and I knew that I wasn't going to be able to go in the evening since I had a PTA meeting where my daughter was performing with her class...so I thought I would get up at 4:30 and hit the gym at 5 when it opens, yeah...that didn't pan out...but my husband didn't have to leave until after 7 since he had an appointment so I decided to at least get a run in, was shooting for about 45-50 mins, but only ended with 30 total with a cool down...all the crap that I had eaten really messed up my stomach, err! But at least I got something in, right? And the meeting was providing lunch of subway so I knew that I was okay there, then came dinner and I went overboard again...McDonald's: Big Mac, fries and a Coke...err!!! So yeah I'm showing a gain on the scale but the week isn't over yet and I'm back on my regular schedule with the gym and dinner is already planned and had my usual breakfast, so the week won't be a total loss...just gotta push forward. I am making a promise to myself that the rest of this week will be great...I will not go overboard on my eating and I will kick butt at the gym as I usually do....today has been great so far and I will continue to make it great!!!
I'm hopefully back on track...today was a great day. I didn't go crazy with eating so much I felt like crap...not that I ate the best considering I had a bag of peanut m&m's. Those plus Reece's peanut butter cups are my weakness. Thank god the last bag is gone and I'm not going to buy any more any time soon. Plus I got in all 5 miles that I had planned today. They weren't my fastest miles but I was only working on distance today. And for once I never thought of stopping before the 5 miles were done. Though about a half mile left I slowed down to walk a few seconds and my legs felt a bit numb, its been a long while since I have ran that long. But I think after this coming Wednesday I won't be running in the afternoons anymore. The warm weather was taking its toll on me. For me a perfect running day is when its a bit cloudy and about 55-60 degrees out. I'm also thinking about just doing the circuit training class on Tuesday and Thursday without any ext...
