Day 4/21 of no chips - DONE
Day 11/21 of no soda - DONE
Exercise - painted (so many coats I lost count) the built-ins last night. Not sure what it did for the rest of my body but my right arm got a serious workout and I was moving so fast that I felt breathless on occasion. Too rainy to be outside, and I was so intent on getting the bookcases done so I can start on the room that I didn't worry about doing any other exercise. Today is still insanely rainy and grey, so I imagine it'll be another paint-a-holic evening. The best part of last night was that I was so focused on painting that I didn't really think about supper. I came downstairs around 7 to throw together some whole wheat pasta and sauce, ate it and then went back upstairs to paint. I only wanted to eat so I wouldn't be hungry and distracted, whereas normally I want to eat because I've been thinking about supper all day.
No caffeine and no McD's. Yesterday's lunch out was so-so. I ordered fish and chips, planning to eat about half and take the rest home. The fish was way too fishy-smelling for my liking so I ate most of the fries. Calorie-wise, I felt okay about it. I'm choosing not to think about all the delicious fat I consumed :) My reasoning was that one meal this workweek has been completely useless and did nothing healthy for my body, but the rest of the time I've eaten well.
Michelle - you are a Zumba queen! You should get to wear a crown in class. Tonight AND tomorrow a.m.? That's awesome. Hope you get a breather this weekend after your long week.
Onyyx - Sorry about your internet situation - that would be so frustrating! The long walks sound good though, I'm hoping to get one of those in tomorrow a.m. if the weather cooperates. You're over halfway on your challenges - way to go!
lukesmom - one week down - that's great! It must be starting to feel a bit like an integral part of your routine now, no?
Have a good Friday, everyone!
