Well, thank God for my midday post yesterday, because my Internet wasn't working last night, so I couldn't post. Oh no! But I'm back. I have a few things to say. First, let me clarify my breakfast food issue: I am willing to eat breakfast food anytime, but I don't eat non-breakfast food before noon. There's a little hole in the wall that sells a really tasty breakfast, and I won't hesitate to have breakfast for dinner when I'm feeling froggish!
Enough of that - I am very proud of myself, because yesterday I went to Rosie's bakery (the source of much of my cheating), purchased smoothies for my charges, and NOTHING (yup, you read right - nothing) for myself. Not a blondie, or smoothie, or Soho glob (a chocolate cookie with walnuts). But I've realized that sometimes I just eat things because they're available. For example, on Tuesday, during my 3-hour window, I went out of my way to go to Rosie's and get a smoothie before my window closed. But the truth is, I didn't REALLY want it. I just got it because I could have it, and I know that's no good. Today was a workout day too, but I decided to forgo the starchy carbs for the sake of my weigh-in on Sunday. My weight hasn't really recovered from my cheat day on Sunday, so I want to give it all the help I can! A while ago I bought myself some sneakers, and I've been waiting to wear them until I lose 1.4 pounds. I was a bit scared that that I would feel sluggish from not having any significant carbs, but I didn't. And I thought to myself 'I can do this!'. I love pushing myself and realizing that I can do more/better than I thought I could. I know, for some people skipping a carb window is nbd (lol - Marcol), but for the person who loves sweets to miss the small opportunity to have some, it's a bd!
Today was the last day of my jump squat set of exercises. Thank God. There's something about the combo of jump squats and push-presses and good mornings that really hurts my feelings. How about I didn't even want to do my cardio? I actually paused twice on the treadmill. Once to tie my shoelaces, once to complain. I pushed my way through, but I wasn't feelin it today for some reason. That actually makes it sweeter that I did it. I used to be afraid to let myself slow down long enough to not feel like doing something. So I would just go go go. Now I've realized that it's ok to acknowledge that I don't always feel like doing stuff, as long as I do it anyway. And it's actually a sweeter victory then. Cuz it's DEFINITELY hard work. Night Night!
