Helllooooo! So before I get started blogging about my weight loss journey, I must say, YUCK to having to go back to work tomorrow. This past 18 days off , even with pain in the ass children has been lovely. Ok, so I woke up this morning and felt a little smaller, I know it is only day 3, but you know that feeling you get when you have stayed on your diet and exercised a couple days, and you JUST begin to feel that inner sense of well being? I didn't have time for a big breakfast cause of church, so I just had some yogurt and a cup of coffee. My church does a big breakfast after mass, and as I walked through the line, I almost forgot I was dieting. I almost grabbed a pastry, when I remembered I was tryng to eat healthier. So I just settled for some grits and a pancake. (I had to share with the baby) I even had water instead of th sugary oj substitute they have and milk. I came home and made a boars head turkey sandwich on light bread then made turkey kielbasa and potato wedges for the fam, I had a few bites. I guess here comes my mess up for the day, I made blueberry muffins because the box was there, and we have no sweets in the house except fat free pudding and skinny cow treats...lol Well, I ate 2 muffins and had a third later after dinner...hello 12 points!!
So, I learned something today, ok, I already knew, but I reminded myself of somthing.... I can't have yummy fattening treats around or I will eat them AND I need to keep fresh fruits, and veggies on hand to snack on, not to mention drinking more water.
I napped for about 15 minutes then got my Shred on. I SO did not want to!! My muscles all hurt, and I was tired and snacky, but I went into Just Do It mode. I reiterate jumping rope in place and jumping jacks SUCK when you are pushing 300.
Dinner was AWESOME, I made something new!! I don't know what to call it, it was like chicken parmagiana made with ground chicken meat. So, it tasted like a flattened meatball. The beauty is no egg, no breadcrumbs, no frying in a cup of oil, and it was scrumptious!!! meatagiana, chickenflatparm???
So there ya go, third day of exercise and eating better complete. Yes, just eating better, not full fledged dieting at tis point. I have never embraced LIFESTYLE CHANGE, so I am really trying to now. I'm trying to improve calories and fat on my favorite dishes, eat more fruits and veggies, cut out soda and alot of sweets, and make better choices. This may mean I will still have a little pizza, or a muffin (or 3), but I am trying. So score for not eating alot at the church buffet, score for a light lunch, score for an improved dinner recipe, and score for exercising!!! Booooooo for 3 muffins and italian bread with dinner. We shall see if oing bac to work helps or hurts my efforts!
