Week 1: Day 4
Why am I so tired? Is it because I am cutting calories and my body is trying to get used to it? Could it be because I’ve stopped taking a huge glass of tea with me in the morning to have some caffine? Whatever it is, my body better start getting used to it. I was so tired today, I was walking into things at work. I don’t know what I accomplished at work after lunch. I know my eyes were open staring at my computer screen, but I don’t think I actually did anything. Of course it could also be because I’ve stayed up late every night this week. My husband brought home Guitar Hero III the other night. He is absolutely stunned that I am better than he is. I think it’s great. He’s such a gamer, so it’s nice to be able to beat him at his own…. well… game.
Eating today was okay. I had to go out to lunch today, but I still made healthy choices. Then we went out to eat for dinner, but I still made healthy choices.
Breakfast - orange
Lunch - fire roasted vegetable soup; salad with lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, sprouts, raisins, sunflower seeds, cucumbers, croutons, and mozzarella cheese with sweet and sour french dressing (that was really the only downfall)
Snack - plum
Dinner - once again, we headed to Sweet Tomatoes. I had a replica of the salad I had last night except I put balsamic vinegar and some olive oil on it. Then of course came the tomato soup and the stupid grilled cheese foccacia. Oh, and some low fat ice cream (I shared it with the baby) and a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie.
Uh, and I guess I should mention the stuff I ate before dinner. I ate 1/2 a peice of cheese. I chewed up the other half and then spit it out. I also chewed up a piece of carmel Easter candy, but I spit that out too. Gross, I know. I could see how it could become a habit though. Most of the time I just want the taste… by chewing it up, I get the taste and then by spitting it out, I don’t get the fat or calories.
But to redeem myself, I did exercise again tonight. YAY! This is day 4… a record. My 5 year old did it with me as well… or tried. It was so cute. The baby even tried. But it is good to see because it makes me think that I am instilling good habits in them.
