ok, so I had my second date today, and I'll tell you all about it...in a second!! But, FIRST, you must endure my diet-stuff!!!
I gained a tad more this morning, (another .6), and this is a second day in a row of no losses, but gains!! Hey, Kim, can I officlally start WORRYING & ANALYZING now?! Lol!
Seriously, though, I'm a little unsure if I'm doing the right thing so far...I thought yesterday was great points and carbs-wise, AND I put in a good workout late at night! So I'd have really expected to see a loss!! Methinks I JINXED it!! Didn't I just write two days ago about how guilty I feel about getting 3-4 days of cosnistent losses when there are others out there more deserving?! Well, next time just tell me to take the losses and SHUT UP!! LOL!
Today I got a good workout with 30 mins of elliptical, but using my wrist weights (1.5 each wrist), and upping the intensity, I was able to burn 364k (3.52 miles, 9-12 level). And put in 3 sets of bicep curls, shoulder raises and lateral raises..
In meals-area, I've gone a little over points, but have still tried to exercise control. I working HARD to notice and count every measly carb and point!!! This is work!! But I'm also learning about hidden carbs in unsuspicious things (like sundried tomatoes!! who woulda thunk? Aren't they veggies anyway??!)
Here's the breakdown:
preworkout: almonds (2 pts, 1 carb)
postworkout: protein mix with soy milk (2 pts, 4 carbs)
Brunch: Egg white omelette with sundried tomatoes, scallions, almonds, basil, cream cheese and goat cheese (6 pts; 3 carbs + 5 more for the 5 slices of sundried tom.)
snack: atkins bar (3 pts; 2 carbs)
almonds (2 pts; 1 carb)
late afternoon: 2nd atkins bar (3 pts, 2 carbs)
Dinner: none; opted only for a glass of wine (2 pts; 1 carb)---and showed SUPREME RESISTANCE in avoiding appetizers, dark chocolate etc.!
Later: (munchies struck due to wine..) so have had 3rd atkins bar (3 pts; 2 carbs), and 1 strin cheese (2 pts, 0 carb)
Total: 25 pts; ONLY 19 carbs!!! HALLELUAH!!!
P.S: Mr. C has paid a visit today!! I do, do, hope this is not cause of restricting carbs!! Every time in the past I've tried to lower carbs, I get this problem, causing me worry and to abandon the plan..! Also, I've felt pretty bloated after my omelette, and have been drinking lots of water (over 3 L), and yet, feel the bloat all over, esp. my face!!
Anyhow, now to the good stuff! My date!
Yea..we were supposed to go hiking this weekend, but we've had the lousiest of weather, so he proposed an independent movie instead..and that's what we ended up seeing ("Tell no one" : A French whodunit..)...It was very interesting, and left us lots to talk about after...We went for drinks, and talked a lot...he is VERY easy to talk to, and a good listener, and intelligent, articulate, personable, very complimentary, and just great company! Not to mention, pretty easy on the eyes:) He seems to like being around me as well...apparently, "my perfume kept him enticed all through the movie and he forgot some stuff in the movie because of that"! yeah..um..right! whatever! LOL!
Well, this sounds promising. For a change, I actually like a guy, instead of finding ways to blow him off!! Well, he better like me back!!!! Or else!!!!!!!!!!!
