When you are feeling sad or stressed--or any emotional eating cue--pick up the phone or text a TRUE friend (someone who you know will offer support) Be your own best friend and give emotional eating the cold shoulder!
Today I did 2 things that I am so proud of my self for:
1. I worked out for a total of 50 minutes!!! Yes 5-0!! I did the Wii Fit. I spent 12 minutes doing yoga, 16 minutes doing aerobics, and 22 minutes doing balance. Yesterday Scott bought me this Biggest Loser mini book thing that had some workouts and recipes in there. I did not do all of the workouts but I did some;
I did 1 set of 10 overhead pullovers with a 4 pound weight
1 set of 10 chest flies,
I used the edge of the couch because I don't have the ball. 1 set of 10 vertical leg crunches,
I TRIED to do the plank but I am no where near able to do that move yet :( But I am working at it!
2. Scott and I signed up for a 5k!!! We are doing the 5K benefiting Crohn's disease on May 8th at 8:00 AM at the Riverwalk, 100 North Island Ave. in Batavia. If you are interested go to http://www.foxriver5k.org for more info!!
OK now on to what I ate;
BREAKFAST:
3/4 cup Special K Cereal with skim milk-3 points
LUNCH:
1 chicken breast-3 points
1 cup corn-2 points
SNACK:
1 cup yogurt-2 points
3 Strawberries-0 points
DINNER:
1 foot long veggie sub from Subway-10 points
WORKOUT:
Everything together I would say I gained 2 points?
DESSERT:
6 oz Skinny Cow Ice cream-3 points
1 string cheese-2 points
Total points: 25 out of 30 points for the day. But with the workout the TRUE total is 23 out of 30 points for the day. I know I need to eat more points....
I did not do that great with the water, I only drank about 4-5 cups, I lost count today.
I forgot to put on my pedometer today, but all I did was clean the house and workout since I was off, so I know I did not get many steps in.
Well that's all for now! Have a good Friday!
Great exercises. Next time we get together I will tell you about my new personal trainer. The exercises are very similar and the program is very doable.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the food items (except for string cheese. Just exactly what is that? I cannot imagine that it has any nutritional value). During lent, one of the women from church brough oreo cookies and she said they were lenten. I looked at the ingredients and indeed there is NO REAL FOOD ITEM in oreo cooking...all chemical sounding names. Even though I could eat them during fast, I thought, "Why do I want to ingest a bunch of chemicals?" Yuk. Look at the ingredients on the package of all food items. Amazing what you might discover.
