Wednesday morning was nicer then it has been in some time. I got to bed early and boy is sleep underrated. I grabbed my typical breakfast and lunch foods and was off to work.
Yesterday I had grapes and ate more than half of the package. I looked up the calories and was shocked. I didn't realize how much sugar and calories are in just 1 cup. I probably ate 4 or 5 cups. That is when I knew I should get a book on the calories content of foods.
I co-worked came to my desk and showed me a bag full of boxed candy. He wanted to thank our department for a project. I asked if it was ok to take a pass on his gift. He said definately and I was happy with myself that I respectifully denied the candy. Later on he said was there something else I would want. At first I did think of money but didn't say it. I eventually asked for trail mix. I should have just said I was fine with nothing.
Scott and I worked out together after work. I was very happy to have my partner there! I was on the stationery bike for 8 minutes before he arrived and then we were on the bike for 10 minutes. We then went on the eliptical and I could not even do 5 minutes. When I was working out regularly, I did up to 12 minutes on the eliptical. Even though it was difficult, I was thinking I can do better and have done it before.
I will do it again.
Scott did pick up a calories content book for me and one for him. He tells me it was jaw-dropping to see the number of calories in foods he used to eat. Never again wil he eat that way. I am so proud of the change I see in him.
Tomorrow Scott's band has a show at a county fair. We both said we did not want to eat carnival food. I said we have to plan ahead so we have healthy food with us. He has a plan for having his shakes.
Wishing for better tomorrows
We did it!!! No carnival food!!! We're getting better every day!!! The true test is going to the cottage and seeing how the food intake goes.
