Today marks 1 whole month that I've been working on getting fit. In some ways it seems to have passed quickly and in other ways it feels like I started so long ago. But 33 days is impressive, even for me. I'm proud of what I have accomplished up until this point. I feel better, look a little better and am mentally in a much better place than I was 3 months ago. I am less angry and less resentful of my metabolism. I've learned better self-control too. There are obviously still moments where boredom gets the best of me, or where temptation in a social setting proves stronger than my willpower. But considering I've only changed my ways a month ago, I'd say I'm off to a really good start. Tomorrow is spin class again, I'm excited but also hoping that I prove stronger than monday's class. It's harder to feel like I've accomplished something if I feel like I'm not working as hard as I could be.
I ate well today, glad I'm back on track. It's definitely harder to reboot after a weekend of less than healthy eating. Sugary foods definitely drive my body to crave more sugary foods. I really had to work hard today to control myself, especially since I was at work for 8 straight hours by myself. There were blueberry muffins in the drawer and I didn't eat them! Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
-1 packet cinnamon roll oatmeal (made with water of course)
*I ran out of the house this morning and forgot breakfast. We keep packets of oatmeal at work so I just snagged one of those out of necessity.
Snack:
-1 peach greek yogurt
*so good!
Lunch:
-1 veggie burger on whole grain sandwich flat with red pepper spread and spinach
Snack:
-1 pudding cup
Snack:
-1 can of split pea ham soup (healthy choice)
*not sure if I should count this as snack or as "dinner part 1"...I was at work and hungry but I don't think was enough for dinner, especially since I ate this at 5pm which is early for dinner.
Dinner:
-1 cup of beef stew
-1 cup of salad with romaine lettuce, onions, olive oil & vinegar
I was in a huge rush this morning and since I hadn't cooked last night I planned on grabbing a can of soup and a frozen pizza from trader joe's that I had hiding in the freezer. Well apparently it wasn't hiding well enough because a sister who will remain nameless took it and ate it. I literally have been writing my name on all the food I buy because if no one claims it someone will eat it. I was so incredibly angry at her for it but what was I going to do. I hate feeling rushed and trying to put food together in a hurry. To avoid that same situation tomorrow I cooked tonight. Glad that's over and done with. Looking forward to more gym adventures tomorrow! 1 month down, who knows how many more to go!
