Well, today was supposed to be a carb day -- unfortunately, because of my bad behaviour with that pizza last night, I've decided to do two Accelerate days in a row to get back on track. That'll learn me -- I really, really wanted a potato today...
But that pizza was really tasty, so no regrets...
Today was a beautiful day for two reasons. Number One -- it was a gorgeous, sunny day with a nice breeze so it didn't feel too hot -- great day for a walk. Number Two -- I have several days' worth of 24 hour Allegra in my system now, so I could actually go outside in the wind and not fear the pollen blowing around. So, outside I went!! I walked to the dentist's office (20 minutes) and then home again, coffee in hand. A fantastic start to the day!
I spent the remainder of the day running errands and doing chores inside -- would have loved to be outside on this gorgeous day, but the laundry and vacuuming don't do themselves -- the kids did their part earlier in the day, so all that's left is up to me. Maybe tomorrow...
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 6 oz strawberry yogurt, strawberries, green tea
Morning Snack -- none (at the dentist with the kids...)
Lunch -- large Super Salad with tuna and balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing and that coffee I mentioned...
Afternoon Snack -- medium Timmy's coffee (black) and their vanilla yogurt/berries combo
Dinner -- Dr. Mikes' turkey chili, monster green salad with balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing
Missing the morning snack wasn't a good idea, because I've had a hard time curbing the "hungries", but I'm pretty sure that 7-11 wouldn't have had anything permissible for a snack (and butter tarts live there -- just sayin...) so I didn't venture over there until I got that coffee for the walk home -- that way, I was heading to where the good stuff is, so it was easier to avoid the temptation. I'm also making sure I get all my water in today, too. I can't say how many times I've been to the washroom -- lost count...
Since it's laundry day, I decided my first course of action in altering the size of my wardrobe bits would be to see if I could shrink anything in the dryer. So, I'm in the process of washing/drying the too-loose capris. Of course, since this is my plan, I'm sure it won't be successful, but you never know until you try...
Greetings and felicitations!
Welcome! I invite you to join me on my journey to better health and well-being. Believe me, if I can do this, so can you!
My promise to you is no preaching, no soapbox, no lectures. This is going to be about what worked well for me -- I will comment but that's it -- take what you will from that. I figure, the book doesn't preach, so why should I? Feel free to post questions or comments -- and pass along the link to anyone who you feel might be interested. The more, the merrier!
However, I am only human...expect the occasional foot-stamping tantrum when I want chocolate...
