Day 6- so so
Yesterday: So so. 3 cups coffee with 1/ 2 & 1/2 and Splenda. 29 oz water. Oatmeal with 1/2 cup 1% milk. 1 slice sausage pizza. large bowl of watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe. (I put 1 cup each into Fitday.) 2 glasses of decaf diet iced tea with ice. Fat Free yogurt. 2 skinless chicken legs, baked. baked beans. Was doing great until I sat to watch tv and then minor binge-a-thon: light ice cream bar, animal crackers, light microwave popcorn, 2 slices of bread. It was like I got hooked on carbs. Ugh! 1875 calories eaten. (Could have been worse.)
Went to the Y yesterday: 37 minutes on treadmill, 2.44 miles, lower body weights, abs/core weights 25 mins, 5 min stretch. I also went for another 30 min walk the dog, 2 miles. 2166 Calories burned. 13,314 steps for the day.
Not bad, but not the greatest.
Just an FYI-I quit smoking (again) on 6/23. So this is double difficult for me this week. There is a commercial on tv about quitting smoking. This guy is sitting on a pier, saying "cigarette, cigarette, cigarette, cigarette...." and a shark jumps out of the water and is chomping off his arm, and he continues to say "cigarette, cigarette, cigarette...." Well, THAT is exactly how I feel. I have to keep stopping myself from going out to the sunroom to smoke. (I have no cigarettes here.) I am chewing piece of nicotine gum here and there. But it is consuming and hard to focus on much of anything.
That said, not a bad week considering, with food and exercise. But just wanted to let you guys know about my battles.
Going to my brother's tonight to finalize plans for the kitchen.
Yes, I did get to the Y again this AM! Will update tomorrow. 3 miles today! Woo Hoo! Going to try to go to Zumba tomorrow.
