Good day today. I think (I hope) I'm back on track. Worked out first thing in the morning--not as early as I'd have liked, but still, as long as it's the first thing, it helps set the tone for the rest of the day--and it did. The mornign workout was all cardio (30 mins treadmill, 15 mins bike). Went to an evenign workout too (45 mins upper body weights). Points have been on track and consisting of all good stuff--proteins, fibers, veggies, and minimal carbs. Water's been close to 3L so far.
Started my track-sheet (one with an overview of food and workouts, and another one that's specific to the time, intensity, type etc. of workouts). I can already tell it's going to be great help tracking these things!
Other than that, I almost had a blow-out with my sister who was complainign I'm being too difficult to plan anything with--or even talk to! And I hung up the phone on her. Then realized how stress is making me act---yes, I'm super-stressed with so many deadlines to meet by June 30th! Anyhow, I realized I should be a better sister than that. I could have just as calmly explained to her to politely leave me alone (LOL!), instead of getting into an unnecessary shouting match with her. Ah, family!! She's a good kid though, and I need to be a better older sister. So, yeah, I did email and explain to her what's stressing me out and that I'll resurface and deal with complications AFTER the 30th. Haven't heard back from her--I supppse she truly IS leaving me alone!! It's interesting how calm, mature, and polite I can be to everyone else--and yet, with my one and only family member in this country, I can be so belligerent and regress to our teenage ways!!!
Ok, enough of rambling. Not much else to report. Hopefully I've started my system, and things will be back on track. I KNOW the amount of horrible feeling I've had from this weekend's splurge and bloating, that I don't want to feel like that again---no food is worth THAT!! So, with that lesson in mind, I hope to continue my healthy progress...and if I should get derailed, I know I have some awesome friends here who'll remind and rescue me! :)
Here's the breakdown of food and points:
Brunch: fiber one cereal and light soy milk (1.5)
smoked Almonds and couple of cashews (4) (a little on the salty side, but I've bought plain ones this evening, so I'll stay away from the salty ones tomorrow onward)
coffee with cream (1.5)
post-workout: protein mix with soy milk (3)
Dinner: Tofu stir fry with mixed bell peppers, brocolli, spinach, mushrooms (and sauce: black soy sauce, vegi oyster sauce, chilli sauce, and some oil) (3), with couple of almonds (3)
Total points: 16 (low, but I didn't keep track of the almonds too well, so it could be a little higher, or today could be a low-point day to make up for the last couple of days' high point ones).
Well, I'm glad many of my buddies are doing well---let the successes continue!! And let there positivity all around!
ok, manana :)
