I had a feeling today was the day which is why I made myself get right last night. I didn't lose any weight this morning, in fact I was up 1/2 lb. I know daily weight gains and loss's are normal and I'm not upset at all. I'm still down 3 1/2 lbs and that is great! I'm working from home today which means food is more readily available so I have to be very mindful of staying out of the kitchen unless it is time for a planned meal/snack. Today is also a rest day at the gym which means I'm only eating 11 blocks, NO MORE! My legs are super sore from the workout yesterday and I know that I"m probably retaining water in my sore muscles so I'm dedicated to a nice walk with the dogs, plenty of water and a stretching/mobility session! I actually can't wait to work on some of this soreness in hopes of feeling better tomorrow! The one thing I'm nervous about is that we are eating out with friends today. My diet consists of so much measuring that I'm nervous to eat without knowing exactly the measurements. However I know that I need to stick to lean protein, tons of veggies and I should be fine!
8:53 - Well I managed to keep myself busy enough that I didn't have time to blog throughout the day. I am feeling pretty good about what I ate today and didn't eat, most importantly. We went out to dinner and I ordered a salad that actually was pretty good and fairly close to a 3 block meal. I might have eaten a little too much protein but didn't touch the chips and salsa at the table which is a huge achievement in my book! I also didn't drink any alcohol tonight, although a nice glass of red wine sounded mighty nice. I'm saving that for my cheat day as well. Once my weight is where I want it I might add back in a few cheats like a glass of wine here and there on non cheat days, but for now I think it's best to stay as much on plan as possible (at least I say that now). We'll see what the scale brings tomorrow, but even if it doesn't move at all I'm okay with that because like I said earlier, I'm still down 3 1/2 and as much as I want to see a loss tomorrow I'm not going to let that ruin my motivation to stay on track.
I have NOT got up early to run in the morning yet. I did run the dogs on Monday evening and since my toe and hip have been bothering me decided not to run the rest of the week to see if some rest would help. However, Po has turned in to a running dog, its crazy! He used to be so lazy and would refuse to run. Now he sits by the front door and looks at me then looks at his leash like, come on mom, take me on a run! It makes me feel so bad when I don't run that I am making a promise to him (I know, lame I'm making promises to my dog!) that we will run tomorrow morning BEFORE work. Ugh, which means it's time for me to go to bed. Good night everyone, here's to 5 days of staying on track in 2011!
