The Last few days
So it has been a few days since I updated on my healthy eating, I have just been having two eggs with a little cheese, scrambled for breakfast, lunches have been salads, some good and some not so good. I did get a McD's salad on wed. and those taste so good sometimes compared to homemade salads. Maybe it is because I didn't have to prepare it! Last night for dinner I made hot dogs, baked beans, grapes and celery. That is what everyone had but me, I had turkey and celery and some grapes. It sounds boring, but I actually really like the turkey I buy and celery with ranch.
This week I also made chicken cooked in toasted sesame dressing, green beans and garlic bread - I didn't have the bread but it looked and smelled good. I also prepared a crab and avocado salad, you mix a pound of lump crab meat (I used Chicken of the Sea and it is in pouches by the tuna) 2 tbsp mayo, lime juice, salt and pepper, cayenne pepper, you mix all this, add the crab, then fold in one cut up avocado. You can eat it like this or a sandwich. We had it as a sandwich, I found 100% whole wheat hoagie rolls. It was pretty good. Another night I made pizza for everyone and I had left over chicken on a whole grain tortilla. So my diet this week has been pretty good. I did also make No Pudge brownies. They are fat free! you just add vanilla yogurt to the mix and bake! They are pretty chocolately but taste just as good as the fattening kind! My kids really them too.
I have been running everyday this week also. I have just been running in our church gym until I start the kick boxing, I have been rotating between walking and running, but yesterday when I went I wanted to see how many times I could jog around the gym non-stop. So I walked around about six times then started jogging. I did 12 laps! I felt pretty good, but now I feel pretty sore too. So tomorrow is the orientation, where I have to run a mile and do sit ups and push ups. I am not so nervous about it anymore because I have already been getting up and doing at least some exercise for the last couple of weeks.
My steps for the last few days have been, Tues. - 10956, wed. - 11392, thurs. - around 11000 (Sarah erased it a couple of times), and today so far they are 6212.
I also lost a couple of inches this week - in hair! Most of you who have seen me lately know my hair was pretty long, so I took Joseph to get his haircut and decided I just needed to get it over with. I have been wanting to cut it but just haven't made the time for me. So I had about 5 inches cut off. it is barely past my shoulders now. It hasn't been this short for a long time. I don't know how to feel about it right now. Sad I don't have longer hair and happy I don't have to deal with long hair! Anyway, my kids want some attention so I will maybe write tomorrow after the orientation and I will definitely report next week on how the kick boxing is and how terribly sore I will be!!!
