1st Week Down - Many More to Go....
Well, here is an update on how my "new" morning exercise routine is going - Mon-Thursday - 30 minutes on the treadmill...woo hoo. Next, the 8:8oz ratio of liquids - Mon-Friday - reaching that goal on a daily basis...woo hoo. Next, eating healthier - well, here is where I am struggling. Most of my breakfast and lunches Mon-Fri are healthy choices, but it is the dinner and after dinner part that isn't as healthy. For example, last night after stopping at the supermarket to pick up a few things because of the impending snowstorm, I arrived at home about 6 p.m. and started to make a homemade pizza out of a whole wheat dough I had frozen several weeks ago. Used jarred sauce and fresh mozzerella cheese with pizza spices. I made it on a square cookie sheet which I then cut pieces into 6 squares from that. So, E and I both got 3 pieces and of course, I ate all 3 - I was feeling very hungry/tired and I think that is my problem! I do good with quantity at breakfast and lunch, but by the time the evening rolls around - I am HUNGRY!!! Luckily, last night I went to bed around 9 p.m., so I had my usual hot cup of tea with alittle coffee creamer and one piece of chocolate from my V-Day box - yes, it is still around and it has only 4 pieces left!
So, if I can just work on the dinner and after dinner part of my day, I think I will be able to achieve my goal. I want to atleast lose the 6 lbs, I put back on since last summer to be gone by late May of this year when we are ready for our trip to Arizona. If I keep that as my target goal...something to focus on...I know I will succeed!
Yes, we did get a snowstorm overnight-about 4-5 inches this morning when I left for work (no, my office didn't close this time), but it has continually snowed since I left for work, but on the lighter side. My boss came in to my office about an hour ago...asked how my commute in was and said just watch the weather outside and if things pick up, let her know if I want to leave. She is so nice. I really don't think at this point, I would leave early, but I will watch from the outer offices who have windows every now and then to see what it is like outside. E went to work - his place didn't close either and he has a big truck and only works 5-7 minutes from our home.
Now I am finishing up the rest of the 2 fish tacos I got downstairs yesterday for lunch. The fish is tapolia which I really love and I am glad I decided yesterday to not ate the whole thing and save this portion for today. I like to do that if I order the full size portions downstairs in our cafe.
Plans for the weekend - E has a side job to do tomorrow morning, so I think I will hung around the house for the day (I have been doing that alot on Saturdays lately...cleaning the house and catching up on stuff while he is away). On Sunday, we have been invited to my Aunt's house for a gathering of my side of the family with my cousins. I am looking forward to seeing all of them, it has been awhile. I am also going to bring some photo album that I nab last weekend from my Dad's house along with me. My brother and sister-in-law will be there as well.
Also, I was suppose to have the polypsonogram done this afternoon, but I rescheduled it yesterday due to the impending snowstorm - now it will be the March 26th. I don't think another month is going to make a big deal and hopefully the weather will be alot better by then as well.
