The last week has been a disaster. I've come home tired, the weather has been rainy and unconducive to walking and my eating has poorer than usual with lots of snacks and too much cheese. Breakfast has been pretty reasonable: a smoothie and sometimes a boiled egg or a bowl of cereal with skim milk. Lunch is maybe a little too big and has been mostly cold cut and cheese sandwiches and sometimes salad. I need to switch from frozen yogurt to regular yogurt and get more fruits and veggies in. Supper - we haven't eaten anything that exciting - which has led to evening snacking on things like cereal and crackers and cheese. I know that I could be making worse choices. We've kept our meat down, but what we are eating isn't low fat and is full of chemicals.
Today though, I tried out 2 work out DVDs I haven't done before (but have had, still in plastic wrap, for over two years). The first I lasted about 10 minutes before boredom kicked in, but the second, Crunches' Belly, Butt and Thigh Boot Camp was actually kind of fun. Not as good as having a real instructor and real music, but I'd do it again, and I feel like I worked hard. I also did my 15 minute abs video and some stretching. I am really really missing the pool and my bike.
We expect the Gazelle to get here from Sears on Monday or Tuesday, so hopefully that gives another option for exercising when I'm not feeling creative - and the barge order is coming (tomorrow - so lots of lifting, carrying and reorganizing.
Last night was S.'s bday, so I won't discuss my last night before the diet starts eating. I don't usually eat until I feel overly full, but I managed last night. Still for pizza, I actually didn't eat that much (and it was home-made, thin crust) and I actually didn't eat many chips. The cheesecake with whip cream... um.... well, sometimes you have to do stuff, but I'm doing serious penance today. There still may be a walk or yoga left to engage in... or maybe some wii.
But I better get to doing my real work... so that maybe next week I have a bit more time to get in more daily exercise.
