Didn't live up to all the resolutions from yesterday, but didn't do too shabbily either. Slept in a bit late, so had to skip the morning workout. But meals were all ok all day...stopped to eat, drank plenty of water, and snacks consisted of fruits. My evening plans had to be cancelled on account of weather so I came home a bit earlier than expected, but was starving so had to eat immediately. Did go to the gym about an hour after eating, but was a little slow in working out today. Didn't feel up to running, so just did a basic 3.8 speed treadmill for 30 minutes (230 K lost). I don't know why I felt sluggish and tired after only 1 minutes' running--perhaps coz I skipped working out yesterday? Or perhaps coz this was later in the day? Well, tomorrow morning I definitely have to go workout before I leave for work as I have evening dinner/winetasting plans right after work, and probably won't get home until late.

Didn't use time as effectively as I'd hoped--still ended up chatting and venting to a couple more people; had many min-meetings, and didn't work through those as quickly as I'd wanted to..ah well. Did get a big batch of papers graded, so that's a relief!

Oh! and one piece of quick good news was that I decided to pull out my black jeans from last year (size 12), and it actually fit!! So, this is working---results are showing, slow, small, but consistent. Still ways to go, but this is good.

Noticed, that I must have drunk about 3 or more litres of water today...lately I keep feeling so thirsty and every 10 mins or so need to drink water. Which means more stops to the restroom, but that's fine. I'm doing really well on stopping to drink water and taking time for those bathroom breaks, instead of going through all day without drinking water thinking I didn't have time to go to the bathroom!! ok, so good healthy habits...these feel good.

Meals of today:
Breakfast: 1 banana (2), 1 triangle laughing cow cheese (2), some grapes (1), and 1 wasa cracker (.5)
Lunch: : 1 coffee with cream (1) and 1 Healthy Choice veg panini (6)
Snacks: 1 peach (1) and 1 orange (1)
Dinner: 1 slice leftover pizza--wild mushrooms and arugula on a thin crust (5), and small salad with 2 pcs of walnuts (2)

Total points: 21.5

I say that it sounds like you did very well! I've been feeling a little unmotivated in the exercise department lately myself and have been having to give myself a kick in arse to get on it. It must be the last dredges of winter pulling at our spirits. Sometimes the workout is more mental than physical! Keep up the great effort and congrats on fitting in the skinny jeans!

Great work managing to squeeze in the workout in the end - I'm sure the fact that it was later was why you felt so tired. Fantastic news about those jeans - that must feel great!! Keep up the water intake and the healthy snacks. Looks like you're all set for our travelling adventure - I'll have your tickets waiting for you at the meeting point in Maine!! Leanne :)

YAY! We're both wearing size 12 jeans :-) I know how good that feels! I think you had a good day - a workout is a workout. And good job with the water intake.
