Uh yeah--skipping garlic bread just won't happen for me. Couldn't do it. The smell wafting up from the oven kicked my hind end. As in, I ate a whole piece. I did keep my pasta intake in check.
For lunch today I polished off the leftover salad from last night. I'm using Newman's Light Balsamic dressing. It is really tasty. I also ate a strawberry. I'm going to have to figure out a snack shortly--not wanting more PB today.
I am slowly getting back to where I was on the elliptical. I did 2.7 miles in 30 minutes. I'd love to get ramped back up to 3 miles in 30 minutes. Then when I can do that I'll start throwing some hills into the mix.
I need to work in some strength building--but I really do not like weights. It is soooooooooo boring! I need to figure out some other options.
A friend loaned me Jorge Cruise's book about the 3 hour diet. I started reading it today--but have not gotten very far. I vaguely remember trying to eat every three hours in the past and gaining a ton of weight--ha ha. Of course each was probably like a whole meal as opposed to little meals--there's my portion control issue again I guess.
Exercise makes me feel so good. I feel happier, less moody, more easy-going with my kids, and I know it makes me healthier. So why is it so hard to get motivated to do then? I'm going to brainwash myself into loving it!
Started watching Inception today during my workout--I switched from Crazy Heart. Crazy Heart just wasn't going to cut it for an exercise movie. Hopefully the pace will pick up in Inception a little.
On the menu tonight: Orange chicken, lo mein, and baked egg rolls. There are 190 calories in a single egg roll--boohoo. I guess I'll be eating one egg roll--sans sauce and a tiny bit of orange chicken and noodles. It'll probably still be like 500 million calories. =(
Guess after this week I am going to have to start planning meals better. To end on a positive note--I have definitely lost about a pound and a half. Ten days in, but I am learning slowly about all the changes that have to be made.
