Sunday
I think I have let the overindulgence from last night go. When the baby woke up this morning at 5:00 I was hungry which is funny b/c I’m normally not hungry when I wake up. Hmm, interesting. Anyway, as soon as I fed the baby I ate breakfast myself. Fortunately I love my healthy breakfast (1 c of a high fiber cereal, 1/2 c milk, 2 hb eggs and a small bit of yogurt) so even on Sundays, when I allow myself to eat what I want for supper, I have no problem sticking to the plan in the morning. In fact, except for something like pancakes, I prefer this breakfast over donuts or other breakfast items. Weird, I know.
I watched a strange/funny movie this morning called “Lars and the Real Girl”. If you’re not familiar with it it’s about a guy who lacks social skills and orders a life-like doll over the internet. What makes the movie interesting, however, is how his family and friends give him the support he needs and accept Bianca (his doll) as if she were real. It’s definitely goofy but very heartwarming.
My hubby is still snoozing but we agreed the other day that in order to be able to leave on time for our grad party that I needed to be able to be on the treadmill by 10. That means that he can sleep until about 9:30. He has the ability, like most men, to spend a huge amount of time in the bathroom. I honestly think I can shower, do my hair and put on my make-up in the amount of time it takes him to “drop the kids off at the pool.” I grew up w/3 brothers, had a male roommate in college and work mostly with men now so I have a million euphamisms for that particular bodily function. Oh well, I had better get used to it as I am the only woman in this house.
I have decided to not let this graduation party today get me all flipped out about food. If I’m hungry, I’ll eat the healthiest thing I can find and if I’m not, I won’t. I’ll let you know tomorrow how my plan worked.
Yay, my hubby just came upstairs, he’s up about an hour earlier than I thought he would be. And it looks like the baby is going down for a nap so I’ll be able to workout longer.
I think you have a great breakfast plan! I see a lot of people who barely eat a thing in the mornings and I don’t know how they do it. The past two weeks I have been eating the bulk of my calories in the morning. Don’t ask me why, I just started doing it as I was tired of being extremely hungry come early afternoon, a bad time for me. I’ve ate cereal/skim milk, fruit and later yogurt and fruit and after that a cucumber/cheese sandwich kick I’ve been on this week
plus a hearty lunch and then tapered off in the afternoon and had a very small supper and two weeks in a row I’ve lost 3 lbs and it looks like another 3 or so this week. crazy, huh? I even ate a bowl of cereal, on run nights, before bed! All good food. So I’m real big on fueling up as ya need so you can stay away from the junk. Hope you found something decent to eat at the grad and keep up your great w/o’s also, HUGE ‘WAY TO GO’ on that amazing 5 lbs you lost! Keep it up!
You can do it! You had a great start today with your healthy breakfast, just remember the water.
