Day 48

TIP OF THE DAY: An organized pantry and refrigerator lends itself to mindful eating. Being able to easily find what you are looking for will help keep you focused and make better choices.

Keep a running inventory of healthy staples. Always store them in the same area so you will know what to replenish on your next trip to the grocery store.

I saw what Myra said on yesterdays blog post and realized that the most easiest thing to do is have an excuse. If you don't want to do something you will ALWAYS find a reason NOT to do it and if you really WANT to do something, you will always find a way TO do it. So today I came home and before I even sat on the couch and got comfy for the night, I went strait to the treadmill and did it for 10 minutes. What I did was I would walk for 1 minute and then jog for 30 seconds. That had my sweating and out of breath. But I am SO glad that I got on there because it made me feel so good!! :)

Well on to how I did food wise for the day;

BREAKFAST:
1 English Muffin-2 points
1 Tbs. Peanut butter-2 points
1 granola bar-2 points

LUNCH:
1 healthy choice sweet sesame chicken-7 points

WORKOUT:
Treadmill for 10 minutes-ADD 1 point

SNACK:
1 Cheese Stick-2 points

DINNER:
1 Veggie foot long sub-10 points

DESSERT:
6oz Vanilla Bean Ice Cream-3 points
Large handful Sunflower Seeds-2 points (guessing here)

Total points:30 out of 31 points for the day. But after the 10 minute treadmill the TRUE points value is 29 out of 31 points for the day!

I drank 6 glasses of water today! Granted I went to the bathroom many times today at work. I sure am glade we did not have a whole lot going on :)

I was so made that I forgot my pedometer at home today. I had it right by my keys and I did not grab it when I left. Today at work a co worker showed me that she puts her pedometer on her shoe. I think I am going to try it. and if for some reason it falls off, it was only $5 so I could go get another one. She said that she finds that it works MUCH better there because on her hip it was not reading well. Same problem I'm having. :) So lets see how many steps I get in tomorrow with it on my shoe.

TGIF!!! Have a great one.
