A Challenge to Myself!

I'm going to a gathering today....there will be goodies galore all around me! UGH!!! When food is presented to me free of charge I tend to lose all control. My challenge to my self- no goodies! Can I do it? Frankly, I'm not sure yet. lol

Can You Say.....SORE?

WoW! All that working out yesterday really did something. I'm sore in numerous muscle groups! But it's a good feeling. =) Today was ok....still working on the eating...I do good on my main meals, but struggle with snacking...especially salty, crunchy items. I figure if I can cut down on my consumption then perhaps I can fade them out altogether over time instead of cold turkey....which is a good recipe for a binge.

Completed a 32 minute bootcamp cardio workout on netflix- great workout! Wanted to get on treadmill earlier today for extra calorie burn but it just didn't happen. Tomorrow is another day- fresh with no mistakes....at least not yet! lol

Sweatin' like a Pig!

Got back on the treadmill for 67 minutes (not including my 20 minutes jump start this morning!) mixed with intervals of strength training. I'm pooped but feeling accomplished! Did I eat great ......no, but did I eat better?.....YES!

So, this closes another day in my hectic life.....trusting tomorrow will hold more of the same accomplishments and more!

God Bless! and good night

I'm Trying to Make a Comeback!

Fell off the wagon a while back and trying to get back on. Was on the treadmill last night for 35 minutes and then this morning I got on for about 20 minutes....a jumpstart for the day and wanting to get back on this afternoon/evening plus strength training. I was tempted for lunch to eat leftover deep-dish pizza...I had a sliver (literally) and gave the rest away. Instead I had a bowl of high fiber cereal w/skim milk! =D

On another note...it's amazing how your self esteem can improve just from getting on the treadmill a couple of times.

Could It Really Be That Simple??

Recently I was watching a news broadcast and they were reporting on the newest diet craze....a special elixir...one that could revolutionize the way we eat and it's cheap too! Are you ready.....WATER! Go figure! The idea is to drink 2 glasses of tap water before each meal. This will help you control your eating by making you feel fuller and reducing the amount of calories you consume. Furthermore, it helps to keep you hydrated....apparently when we having craving we are usually dehydrated instead. Try drinking a glass of water and seeing if the craving passes!

Now, if I can just remember to drink the two glasses before each meal! =)
