I checked my weight this morning and I weight -in the same as yesterday. Dinner last night was too heavy and too much rice/carbs. Live and learn. I brought in more of the leftovers in for lunch and morning break but decided to skip it at breaktime and instead had a banana and a Yoplait light yogurt. I also took it easy at lunchtime with the food. I will divide up what is left tomorrow and have it for my two breaks.
The morning workout was a good one. I did 30 minutes on the eliptical machine and 30 minutes walking on the treadmill at incline. I maintained a light sweat for 60 minutes and felt good after it. My afternoon workout was decent. I did 20 minutes on the eliptical machine the 3 sets of hack squats, 5 sets of leg presses (270 lbs- 20 repititions), 5 sets of leg extensions, and 3 sets of calf raises. for the bonus I did 3 sets of situps. I was done! My Buddy was done too. Today a third co-worker expressed interest in going to the gym this afternoon but was too busy when the time came. Maybe tomorrow.
Today meals were all packed from home. I explained aerlier about lunch and a break, breakfast was 2 morningstar fake sausage patties, 2 hard boiled eggs, 1/2 a baked potato with salsa on it. Afternoon break was a yogurt and an orange. Nothing fancy, just some good nutrition. Dinner was a big bowl of lettuce with some ground beef, black beans and Newman’s own Peach salsa with a few splashes of balsamic vinegar. Very nice. I checked my calorie counts at My Daily Plate and saw I was low on protein for the day so I also had some chicken breast ( approximately 4 oz) with a table spoon of honey and musturd so I had something to dip the dry chicken into. I did not consume all the honey musturd so I mixed it into my vinegar for tomorrow’s salad dressing to give the vinegar a different zing.
I feel like the eating healthy has really taken hold of me. I do not even think of the vending machine anymore. When I go into the small store on post I only only look for water and hot sauce if needed. No cravings for chocolate or potato chips. That is a good thing.
