This past week has not been one of my finest. To say I overate is an understatement; I completely went unhinged and just binged my way through food. Last night I managed to finish off a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia. I lamented on myfitnesspal and one of my friends responded with some good encouragement and positive thinking. It was just what I needed! This morning I woke up early (well, it was actually the time that I should be waking up everyday for work but, that's another post in itself) and got out of bed (HUGE accomplishment) and used the elliptical for 15 minutes. It doesn't sound like much but it's a BIG WIN for me. I am NOT, repeat not, a morning person. The idea of waking up early to exercise makes me want to vomit. Nausea aside, I actually did it!
I also convinced my husband to make oatmeal smoothies for me to take to work in the morning. He made me 6 pineapple-coconut smoothies - they're not too bad, I had one on my way to work this morning. Honestly, I am amazed at how full they keep me. I drank the smoothie around 9am and didn't feel hungry until about 1:30p. I brought a white chicken enchilada to work for lunch - leftover from last night. They are amazing! I got the recipe from the Pioneer Woman. Her recipes are sooooo good. I'm not a big fan of chicken but even I liked them. More surprisingly my white bread husband liked them and said the recipe was a keeper.
I believe I'm on track for today...tomorrow is another hill to climb. And, there's an all beef hot dog calling my name (lunch tomorrow?) but...I...must...resist.
