I am in healthy weight range on the BMI chart now. My weight was 154.8 this morning. That puts me just barely, BARELY into a healthy BMI with 24.9 since 25 is considered in healthy range. I know I am not done yet though. With this blubber around my waist, I have at least ten more pounds to go if not 15. But whatever. This was a nice little treat this morning.
My muscles are not hurting yet. ***Ok, I take that back. My muscles are getting sore now. So I guess tomorrow I will just repeat what I did yesterday.
I had to do some SERIOUS self talk to stay out of the ’seeds last night. Sheesh. I was preoccupied by sunflower seeds ALL EVENING. I caught myself hearing myself say “how about just a bite, just one handful…JUST ONE ‘SEED?”. Geez. Fortunately I was able to fight it off. My calories had been low, so I had the half of a piece of grilled chicken that was in the fridge for a snack. I did not NEED to add more food after that. Sometimes I feel like I am being chased by a little army of sunflower seeds.
***Just got back from the track. Walked .4, ran 2 miles (23:30), then .6 walking to finish up. Not sure when I will ever be compelled to shoot for that third mile running. Oh well. RIght now I am feeling tired and hungry and as mentioned, my muscles are getting sore. It’s a good feeling. Although I am thinking about tiny2b and her running and boot camp and I am feeling like a wimp.
I took a look at my calories and decided to try this recipe for chocolate mousse that was in Prevention magazine this month. I haven’t had dessert, other than some mango italian ice for like ever. So anyway, it is silken tofu, vanilla and almond extracts, melted chocolate chips and greek style yogurt. So while we were out today, I picked up the stuff for that and hopefully what will turn out to be a good book, and two magazines about heart healthy cooking. So I came home and made dinner and whipped up this mousse stuff. And it is ok. I just have gone so long without rich chocolately stuff that it was WAY too rich and WAY too chocolately. I wasn’t wild about the saturated fat content (due to the chocolate, of course). So I didn’t even finish my serving of it. But for what it was, I am sure it was probably a good recipe. The kids loved it.
