Make that 3 in a row

Yesterday was a good eating day too! We had ice cream bars for an afternoon treat at work as part of state employees recognition week; mine is still in the freezer because I refused to eat it! I had a little extra part of a sandwhich for supper last night but I was starving for some reason. Other than that, I did great. I did not get any exercise in, but I managed to get 3 bottles of water down. I know that's not enough and I should have exercised too, but 1 out of 3 is better than none!

2 in a row

Yesterday was a good day too. I ate well the entire day, but did not get in all the water I should have. I did not get a workout in, but I stayed active and busy the entire evening. It was hot yesterday and we didn't turn on the air before leaving the house and it was a steamy 79 degrees in the house when we got home. We figured it would start cooling off by the time we got home and since we would be gone all day it wouldn't make sense to turn on the air. Well, since it was so hot I splurged and had a beer at the end of the night. It was a mic ultra, so I guess that counts for something. The scale was down 1/2 pound today. Not much else to blog about.....

Wow-what happened?

So I said I was going to blog everyday and I had done pretty well for a while. My trip to Boise was the kicker and got me out of the habit, of both blogging and trying to eat better. My trip was good professionally; I was elected President of the group for all the states. I am the face of the group now and I don't like that it's a fat face. We took pictures at the end of the conference and I couldn't beleive how chubby I looked. It was awful. I have a picture of me in my desk from the first year I attended this conference in 2003. I was SKINNY! Now I compare the 2 photos, 6 years and 30 pounds apart. It's just so sad. I ate horrible while I was gone and have continued to do so ever since. To top that off, I didn't excercise. Well, now that it's behind me, it's going to stay that way. I started fresh yesterday and I had an awsome day. I'll celebrate each daily victory and yesterday was one for sure. I ate super all day long! My one downturn was the orange soda I bought at lunch. I told myself not to get it, but it was hot out and I was going for a walk at lunch after I ran a couple errands so I grabbed the pop anyway. I learned my lesson last night at Guts and Butts because I worked my ass off for a full 45 minutes and only burned enough calories to compensate for the pop. Are you kidding me? So I had to work my ass off for another 45 minutes. I guess I can take that lesson with me and not drink that stuff anymore. I am on to just water for a while. So yesterday I ate great, went for a walk at lunch, had a good day at work, went to Guts and Butts and had a good workout. When I got home, I had a bowl of cereal and an egg beater for protein, then sweat my ass off some more cleaning the bathroom. I was in a good mood all day, accomplished some things I wanted to and went to bed knowing I had a good day. It was the best feeling.
