Ok, so here is the situation. Yesterday we had a pot luck at work, and I ate like crap. This is the first time sense April 16th that I have eaten anything "bad" and I'm back on track today. However I did beat myself up about it a bit and I felt crappy after eating the cookie (only one but it was big, and SO good) and the brownie bite (size of a flat mini muffin). But then I went to the book store last night and the kids went with me. I decided to take them out to ice cream at ColdStone and got myself one too. I got the Oreo cream ice cream with a brownie mix in (yum-o) only ate half of it. But today I was back on track with my protein shake for breakfast and my spinach salad for lunch and for dinner I had brown rice with a little butter and asiago cheese on it (really good and filling). So I'm not feeling too bad about yesterday anymore. What really helped was talking to my Friend about it. Like she said, it maters that I stay persistent. Falling off the wagon (as I called it) every now and then isn't going to hurt. Today I really wanted another cookie but ate my orange instead and felt good about that choice.
On to other things....
The new shoes are great, I'm still getting shin splints but they are a little better. I did ice them after my run tonight and that was amazing. Instant relief, why didn't I listen to you sooner Jan and Sheri? I did start on week 2 of the couch to 5k today and did better than I thought. I really don't think I'm going to be able to run 3 miles anytime soon or even at the end of the 9 weeks. BUT this is good exercise for me and it is good to have a reference while I'm doing it. AND I am improving, but I know it will be much slower than someone who is in better shape. I have to keep reminding myself that I am really fat and that is a lot of weight to be jogging around.
Speaking of weight..... the loss continues. So far the count is 13 pounds, yep that puts me at 267 for my weigh in today. I'm not positive what I started out at but I'm guessing it was close to 280, I have been fluxing between 280 and 285 for the past year so I'm going with a start of 280.
So over all I think I'm making good progress. I'm deffently making better choices with what I eat and how much I eat. and I have been staying constant with the exercise and that is a big deal for me. I'm pround of myself and am excited for the feature.
So that is it for now. See you soon!
P.S. Matt is still running, and trying to eat healthier too! Go Matt Go!!

ReplyDeleteThat's great... glad to hear you just hopped right back on the wagon after coldstone, etc. Good for you for not letting the one day sabotage your overall efforts! Food is hard because we all still have to eat and it is EVERYWHERE and it is hard to undo old relationships. Keep up the great work and all of your efforts you running rock star you!
