Today started out pretty good. I had to be at work early so I had breakfast about an hour earlier than usual. Then I had to go to a lunch meeting at Saltgrass. Great! I just gave up red meat and I'm going to a steakhouse!
I have to say I'm really proud of myself. I ordered a salad, mixed veggies and grilled chicken. The chicken was 8 ounces so I only ate about 1/2 of it! I didn't touch the bread or the yummy amazingly delicious butter they serve with it. To be honest I didn't even want it! That's an absolute first. One of the guys I work with asked me if it bothered me to not eat the foods I love. I thought about it for a second and the answer is yes and no. Sometimes I really wish I could eat what I want but most of the time I'm okay with it because it means lower numbers on the scale. That's how I've learned to look at food as numbers on the scale. You'd be surprised how much that really effects the way I eat!
So now I have to have a shake for dinner and I'm really hoping that I don't end up feeling hungry later tonight! But I have to do lunch meetings occasionally so I have to learn to be flexible! I had a shake with French vanilla pudding mix, peanut butter and honey! So delicious and creamy!
I went for a walk and the wind was blowing like crazy. I took a ride on the bike and I felt like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when she was trying to ride her bike during the tornado! Ridiculous! I was pouring sweat, my legs were on fire and I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere! But at least it wasn't hot! Then I took a walk because I had some extra calories to burn. I was 50 calories away from my goal today because it got dark and too freaking cold and I didn't get to do my lunch walk. I think I might clean the house to try to burn some more before bed! Ready for tomorrow so I can go on my walk at lunch! I can't believe I actually missed walking! :-)
