Friday… What a nice day. Today I went to the park with Stef, we walked two miles on the trail (with hills, no less). We were both pretty achy from last night’s workout with Bob, followed by our 35 minute walk… so I didn’t want to push it too much. Tonight I ended up doing a 15 minute workout on my arms anyway – it was the one part of my body that DOESN’T hurt right now!
Nutrition: Today went pretty well. I had a bit of a chocoholic moment mid-afternoon, but otherwise, awesome! Dinner tonight was rice, steamed veggies (cabbage, brussel sprouts, carrots and broccoli) and grilled chicken. Strawberries for dessert again! Yum!
Plus, after dinner I portioned all my grains (rice & pasta basically) into correct portion sizes (Dear Inventor of Ziploc bags, I love you!). And I portioned my dry snacks. Can you say PROGRESS?
Something I didn’t mention yet in this blog: weigh-in days. I will weigh-in on Tuesdays every week, and post the weight change (Hopefully only a downward slope!)
Also, I’m a fan of Biggest Loser – and the finale is this week! That show has inspired me so much this year, I’m sad to see it go! I feel healthier just watching it (just go with this logic…)
Today I did some more mental cleaning, which – after doing this blog consistently – I am realizing that my mental health is just as important as eating, sleeping, and exercising. So I did laundry, cleaned house, gardened, etc. I even *gasp* started on homework. Whoa.
Sorry for the short blog post tonight, I’m beat! Thanks for reading & keep up the awesome comments! It’s super helpful!!
Amanda, you are doing so good with portioning out your foods. It sure does help when you reach for something to eat. You're controlling your quantities which is so important on your journey. Eventually, this will become automatic. Don't beat yourself up for the little chocoholic moment. We all have those moments but it's ok. I didn't know this coming Tue is the finale of TBL. I thought we had 2 more weeks. I haven't missed a show. However, this season hasn't been near as good as previous ones. I'm looking forward to your weigh in on Tue and pray it is going down. But it has to be. Look at all you're doing!! You go girl!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Love,
ReplyDeleteYou're doing wonderful! I caught up to date with your blogs and I couldn't be more proud of you. You never cease to amaze me. I love you and keep going! Love, Mom
Sharon, we do have two more weeks! Yay! I haven't watched before, so I didn't know how they broke it down after the final four!
