[Less of Lena]

Other days, like today, are not. Crammed with activity, less than ideal food and activity choices.

I did well most of the day. Knowing I was going to be out and on the go most of the day, I brought healthy snacks with me (Pria bar mmmm mmmm, apple, water, almonds) and didn't stop for fast food, even though it was everywhere! I should have brought a can of tuna or something but didn't think that far in advance.

The not so hot part came when I got home. I didn't get home until 8pm and I was (and still am) just too wiped to do any extracurricular exercise. I doubt I've even broken 5,000 steps today (haven't looked at the old pedo yet).

In addition, I scarfed down two roast chicken drumsticks and 2 oz roast turkey (old Atkins habits popping up!). I only had 24oz of water, and it's too late to guzzle any now, if I want to have a good night's sleep. Besides, drinking 72oz of water at one sitting is probably not worthwhile anyway.

Am I upset? Nope! Not in the least. I'm tired, and trying to squeeze out any exercise tonight would be counter-productive and might even cause injury (because I wouldn't be at full concentration). I thoroughly enjoyed the foods I ate, even if I perhaps had too much of them. I'm not going to meet my daily goals for water, steps, or exercise and you know what? Today was what it was.

And tomorrow is what it can be!

((Of course, tomorrow is official weigh in -- let's see if I'm so chipper then, eh? ))
