Good morning! Back in the swing of things!
Here are a few pictures from my drive to work:
Most people dislike having a long commute… I only mind it in the winter… other than that it’s 45minutes of me time… God time… praise time… thought time… Usually while I’m driving I’m listening to Christian radio or I have the radio off. I typically sing along or talk to God… I look at the scenery… Praise God… and well take picture to share with you!
Breakfast: 1 cup of ‘diet’ minute maid orange juice, 1 serving of frs concentrate, 2 eggs, a whole wheat English muffins, and a large banana.
Snack: 1 apple with peanut butter/cool whip mix… oh you don’t know what that is? Well you take a small amount of peanut butter and mix it with fat free/sugar free cool whip and stir… it turns creamy and sticky and amazing! I know this secret thanks to one of my weight loss group leads! Thanks Dreama! I'm now thinking about making a dessert based on this!.... stay tuned!
Lunch: wellll…….. it goes a little astray here…. I had brought some left over chili mac from the previous night… and some cucumbers and ranch… wellll…. Ummm… yeah … I … uhh… i…. ummm… well I lost my danged mind for a minute and went insane! I kid you not! I don’t know who I thought I was eating like a glutton… but I attacked the all you can eat snack buffet at work…. It was like an alcoholic’s relapse… however… I still stayed relatively in control… relatively… I ended up with a plate in my hand… then two cookies…. They just well they jumped on my plate! I was shocked! Then a diet coke jumped in my left hand and a bag of Sun Chips in my right…. This is insane who is eating this?!?! Me….. I did not however eat my chili mac… I honestly was so full from my little binge fest that I didn’t want the chili mac. I did however eat my cucumber and ranch! I also had 4 mini tootsie pops!
Now… I did not beat myself up over this… I tracked the calories… I still kept in check for the rest of the day… I think and occasional splurge is necessary however… here comes the down side… the stomach pain! I’m really beginning to think that God gave me IBS to show me what not to eat… it seems every time I have a little splurge I have some serious painful tummy bubbles… is it worth it?
I managed to get in a 12minute walk at work today… then I hit the gym… I did 10 minutes of weight lifting… 20 minutes on the recumbent bike… and I did a 19minute mile! Wootwoot!
After my workout I came home and made some de-li-cious din din!
I had 4oz of chicken, ½ a serving of whole wheat egg noodles with promise ff spread, and 1 cup of raw broccoli with ranch dressing. I also had 1 serving of pumpkin cake.
I saw this photo online today and thought wow this is really how I feel:
I often joke that I’m thin on the inside and fat on the out and that photo really hit home for me!
Here is where I ended up for the day:
Praise: I’m soooo thankful for a God who shows us our errors… He doesn’t punish us or harm us, yet He gently guides us exactly where we need to be…. I’m so blessed for the people in my life and for the amazing life I’ve been given to live!
xoxo
