Thanks for the post Maggie - you definitely make me think.
So yesterday was not a good day. I can not reward myself any dollars.
I ate the best I could with what I had since I left my food at home. I techincally did not cheat or eat anything bad but I do not want to reward myself since I was limited due to my forgetfullness. Then my water - I drank a total of 60 ounces for the day. I got busy and just forgot to get up and get any. Then the workout. I did not exercise when I got home last night. I was spending time with the kids and with hubby and then it was time for me to go to bed.
This morning I was back up at 5:30 and out the door to the gym. I remembered my food but I forgot to get on the scale. Oh well I will take the food over the scale anyways. My workout was hard on me today. I had ZERO energy. I only made it 22 minutes of my total 30 today on cardio and I was beat. I think I need to eat before I work out - at least eat a tiny beat. So tomorrow I will definitely have something in my belly.
I am doing much better with my water today. So far 40 ounces down and working on the next 20. Food is spot on today. Here is my plan:
M1: Egg Whites (Hard boiled) and oatmeal (DONE)
M2: Egg Whites (Hard boiled), natural pb, celery, melba toast with lf cream cheese (DONE)
M3: Tuna, Carrots & LF Dressing, yogurt
M4: Same as M3
M5: Grilled Lemon Chicken, Sweet potatoes, green beans
M6: Cottage cheese & strawberries.
Now my big test is going to come this weekend. It is football weekend and we have friends coming over. So we will see how I hold up! I know I can do it!!
Got to run for now... will write more later.
