Hi!
The date w/hubby was fun -- although I always manage to forget just how LONG opera can be.
No workout, of course, but we /did/ manage to walk 15 blocks from 45th to 60th, which is something. Although I feel bad for him, it helps that my husband has been feeling fat lately too, because it means he always wants to walk with me!
Didn't get home 'til late, and now I'm all tired + grumpy. Still I swear to exercise! My theory is that if I tell myself often enough during the day that I'm exercising when I get home, when I /do/ get home and see the lovely welcoming couch, I'll feel so guilty about all that "build-up" that I'll feel compelled to work out so I won't "disappoint" myself.
Strange, but it seems to work!
I bought more FIRM tapes today (I really need to be stopped) + a bunch of Kashi stuff. I've been trying to up the fiber in my diet, with some success, but I /also/ need to up the protein, and I couldn't think of any way to do both without eating something every 5 minutes! The new Kashi GoLean has 10g fiber /and/ 8g protein per serving, so it will hopefully go a long ways towards helping me achieve my healthy eating goal.
I've always /mostly/ eaten well -- I tend to eat terrible things when I go out, but healthy things on my own -- but I'm trying to improve the balance of my diet. I currently drink at least 64oz water a day, and now I drink 3 cups of green tea (antioxidants!) throughout the day rather than coffee in the morning. My new "balance" goals are to get around 30g fiber a day + 40g protein.
After all -- if I'm going to be building all this muscle, I'll need the protein to do it.
I hope you're feeling better, and I'm proud for you that you've managed to stay on track even when you're not feeling well. That's dedication!
And hey! Where are the rest of the Chicks? We can't be the only ones who want to check in on exercising daily!
