Friday was going to be my Free Day this week. But I think that my habits are forming quickly, because although there were MANY temptations available to me (donuts and muffins at school, free italian ice, pizza night at home, etc.) I really struggled with breaking down and indulging. I couldn't even bear the thought of skipping my gym time. So instead, I went and did a upper body weights session, followed by a 200 calorie protein shake and a killer ab workout. Then around 3pm I had a boiled egg. OK, so it's my free day and so far I am under 300 calories at 3pm. :o
I met a friend for dinner at Carrabas. Started with a glass of red wine, and a Caesar salad. Ordered the Chicken Bryan, which is grilled chicken with sun-dried tomotoes and goat cheese, and a small side of whole wheat spaghetti. The chicken was great, the pasta was gross. WHAT? Since when did I lose my appetite for pasta!?!? But I pushed it aside and instead had a few slices of the bread on the table. When I got home, I didn't feel like I had been too "bad!" So I snacked on the half-eaten chicken tender in Sydney's to-go box, and the 1/4 cup of plain jane penne. UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!! It was almost instant that I felt SICK! Processed carbs are obviously becoming a bad thing....who knew just 5 days in that my body could form such a strong opinion! So I vowed to hit the cardio hard this morning, and will end today with a p90X dvd, just for kicks and grins.
This getting fit thing is getting addictive..................
Hey ya'll! Welcome to the reboot of my blog. My short story is this: I love food, wine, and desserts- and I love to work out. It's all about balance. I lost 30 pounds over 5 years ago and I have kept it off. I love to inspire others to strive for a healthy lifestyle while still having balance and enjoying life.
