The day started out really well. Weigh in showed real loss for the first time in forever. It’s always good to see numeric changes, especially when you’re gearing up for a long-term commitment instead of short-term impact.
I got up early to do my walk at Memorial Park. It was 40-degree-weather, which is a big improvement over last week. It was still very very cold, and I don’t think I ever actually warmed up.
I heated up a whole wheat tortilla, which I filled with sausage, spinach and Pepperjack cheese. Probably should have left off the cheese, but it was still just around 500 calories. And it was a nice, hearty breakfast.
So, I was feeling really good. Then I tried to dress for work.
Nothing fit. Everything is much too tight. I can see rolls stretching against the fabric in places where it shouldn’t.
I tried on at least five different outfits, and discarded al of them. I ended up with an old standby, a “fat girl” outfit that I don’t like, but wich didn’t make me look like I was wearing something two sizes too small.
I really really need to stay on my diet, keep exercising and be a grown up about my health and fitness. If nothing else, simply because I refuse to buy new clothes.
10 AM — I took some time after my walk to cook breakfast. I sauteed some sausage and dropped in spinach, wich I used as a filling on a whole wheat tortilla. Add a little Pepperjack cheese and I got a really yummy breakfast that wasn’t too fattening. And it covered most of my food groups.
2 PM — I had another one of those days that another that I work through lunch because I was at a meeting. Today I was smart and packed lunch. Which meant I went to the old standby: peanut butter sandwich. Today, hover, I decided to change things up a little. I borrowed my sister’s standby and ate a peanut butter and banana sandwich — my very first. It was actually rather good. I think I’m going to have it again,
9 PM — for dinner I had a variation on last night’s dish. Grilled chicken with a side of sauteed spinach and tomatoes, in a garlic/pesto sauce. Very tasty.
Today I am very proud of myself because:
- I didn’t cheat on my diet,
- I exercised, and
- I didn’t eat out.
Let’s see how tomorrow goes.
