How'd everyone do last week? First week of the new year, everyone's all well behaved...or at least making an effort to be! I logged everything I ate Mon-Fri on a spreadsheet at work. Tried to keep an accurate total of calories. I didn't do as bad as I thought I would, except for one day that I felt the need to stop at Mc D's and use my coupon for B1G1 breakfast sandwich. Did you know there's 560 calories in a sausage, egg and cheese Mc Griddle?! I almost fell off my chair...after cursing myself for eating both...which I totally didn't need, but just stuffed down because I was starving! Aside from that day, I stayed under 2000 cals a day...which I'm guessing is an accomplishment for me, just thinking about the crap I usually eat.
I know I have to start excerising too, but I cannot even think about going outside to walk or anything...it's too darn cold! Maybe if I can manage to lose 10 lbs. or so in the next month or two, I'll muster up the energy to walk. I can start with small steps though. I only work on the second floor of my building, so I can try walking up and down the stairs. In the nicer weather, I can walk around the complex at lunch, it's a huge office park. I'm sure it's probably at least a 1/2 mile to go around my building and the building next to mine, which are attached by a courtyard that you can't cut through!
One thing I did to help keep me in control is stock one of my big drawers with food. I bought a pack of those tiny cans of tuna at BJ's, some granola bars, and cans of Progresso soups, so that I can healthy stuff to eat during the day, and hopefully not be tempted by all the food that is usually around after meetings.
What are you doing to keep in control?
