Day 5
Once again, I walked with Reese. I’m so sore, and she’s telling me she’s taking it easy on me. My legs feel like JELLO for goodness sake! I feel awesome though. Like I’m really accomplishing something.
I found half a 12-pk of Diet Coke in my home today. I thought I had drank it all. I opened one and drank about half of it, and realized it doesn’t taste good anymore, so I dumped it out and refilled my water bottle. Food-wise, I’ve done pretty good. I did slip a little bit yesterday. I made cheezy stuffed pizza bread for the kids, and ate entirely too much. That totally set my entire day back, but I walked with Reese for the first time that day.
Today on the other hand I did awesome! I had 2 scrambled egg whites with one slice of american cheese and chipotle tabascco, along with 2 slices of toast. I made a sammie out of it. I got so involved with housework today that I forgot to eat lunch. For dinner I made home-made chicken noodle soup. I had 2 bowls of that with a couple of rolls, and more walking.
I think I said it the other day, but I’ve been feeling fab. Tons more energy. I’ll be weighing myself on Monday to see how I’m doing. I would be happy with losing a pound at this point.
TBL Season Premiere {and how my day went}
Sitting here watching the season premiere of the Biggest Loser, I feel a lump coming up in my throat and tears welling up in my eyes. I’d be bawling, but my boyfriend would make fun of me. {He’s sitting there eating a Butterfinger, btw} Anyway, I hear their stories and watch them weigh in for the first time, and my heart absolutely breaks for them. But I also relate to them too. I’m scared for them, but I’m thrilled for them too. This is the start of a new life. Its an opportunity I wish I had.
I’m glad this new season is starting now, just as we are starting our new venture. Sure its one of those reality shows, but its one with meaning. These people learn how to save themselves from themselves. You see a life changing transformation happening right before your eyes from week to week. It is so inspiring. Not only that, but you can learn a lot about healthier eating and exercise.
I had an OK day today. I woke up late and with a bad migraine. I grabbed a protein shake on the way out the door this morning and was fine with that. I felt nauseous most of the morning because of the headache, but the tylenol started to kick in around noon. Thank God! A friend at work asked me to go to lunch with her. It was mexican. Eek! I didn’t do that bad though… I had some grilled chicken, rice, and a few chips and salsa. I plugged it all into the weight watchers point tracker, afraid that I had overspent my daily budget. I was pleased to find that I still had enough points left for dinner. I wasn’t very hungry this evening though. I had a white turkey frank {no bun} and actually still have a couple of WW points left.
I don’t feel great about what I ate today, but I’m glad I didn’t really overdo it with the mexican food. It wasn’t the best choice, but tomorrow is a new day.
