Medical Hiatus

Don't think I've given up or fallen off the wagon (again--LOL). I had a minor medical procedure that has put me out for about two weeks. Even though my two weeks aren't up I'm going to start doing about 15-20 mins on the treadmill starting tomorrow so that i can remain in the habit of moving my body. Wish me well.

doing better

My eating was in line today! Yay me!!! I still need to improve on the fiber. I need to eat more fruits and veggies. I had 2 cups of cabbage today but no fruit. In fact the apples I intended to use for snacks were spoiled because they had been in the fridge too long. I need to make getting fresh produce in as a habit. But tomorrow is a new day and I'll do even better! It is motivating that when I went to the dr today I had lost 2lbs since last week!!! That's motivation in and of itself.

Worked out today:

50 crunches including 2 sets with a 6lb medicine ball
20 minutes of strength training
45 mins treadmill (20 min/mile)

back on track

jillian michael's 30 day shred; I don't want to talk about the poor eating choices. If I can't get this under control in the next few weeks I'm going to let them put some saline back in my band.

uuuggghhh

I ate 10 oreo cookies today! I cannot believe I did that. I still have no willpower when it comes to food. I think that I'm going to eventually have the saline put back in this lapband. (It's currently empty and offering no restriction). Even though my eating was off and I'm feeling a little under the weather, I still did 50 crunches, 20 mins of strength training, and 45 mins on the treadmill.

back from a break

I had gone home for a few days so my eating/working out suffered. The good news is that my mother took me clothing shopping. I cannot believe that I'm 3 dress sizes down since Jan!!! I was so elated to finally be able to shop in departments other than the plus size (usually fuddy duddy) clothing. That in and of itself was enough to get myself back on track. Soooooo....

today was a good day.

Classes began again and I was prepared with my snacks. I packed a bag of a single serving of sun chips (garden salsa), a single serving of raw almonds, and a bag of fresh cherries. I also took along a lean cuisine lunch (cheese lasagna with chicken scallopini) since I had a long day. I think I made pretty good choices. I also came home and prepared my dinner for tomorrow. All I will need to do tomorrow is quickly saute my spinach to go along with the turkey patties and roasted potatoes that I cooked this evening. If push comes to shove and my day runs later than planned tomorrow, I also cooked an extra pattie to take along to lunch with me. I think I'm now planning for myself as if I would plan for a loved one. It's about time I learned to take care of myself at LEAST as well as I take care of others!
