Well, it's been 3 days and I've already lost 5 pounds. Feeling pretty good about myself. Despite the fact that I seem to have caught a cold, I still did my workout this morning. I considered skipping it since I'm feeling under the weather, but then I told myself that type of decision was the old me. No excuses. It's workout day and I'm not going to make excuses to skip it. So far I'm sticking with exercises that use my own body weight, I think that's called kinesthetics. Anyway, I figured I would start out slow since I've done nothing in such a long time. Not to mention I've got a lot of weight to throw around ;-) I was pretty damn sore yesterday from working out on Friday morning, but it was a good kind of sore.
I've come to realize that I eat better when Eric's not eating with me. He is way too stubborn about his meat and potatoes kind of attitude. Basically the only green veggies I get him to eat are green beans. A girl can only stomach so much of the same thing.
Yesterday I actually tried avocado on my croissant sandwich at lunch. I ate about 1/4 of the sandwich before I had to pick them off. It's not that they tasted bad. They actually had a decent creamy flavor, but it felt so slimy in my mouth I just couldn't eat it. Not only that, I only ate half my entire lunch. I was quite proud of myself. When I realized I wasn't hungry anymore and yet still picking at my food, I pushed it away. I'm really surprised at how much I tend to over eat, or eat just cause I'm bored. I also realized I tend to eat more at work than when I'm home. Shouldn't it be the other way around? At home I'm so much busier chasing the kids around and cleaning up after them and Eric that I don't find things to snack on just to snack for no reason. I have all my friends at work looking out for me though, and helping keep me on track :-) I have such great people I work with.
I will post again in a couple of days to update my progress. Happy Reading!
