Well the last few days have been really hard with this horrible cold/flu. Not getting the exercise in that I want. I am actually craving doing a workout, which is a huge breakthrough for me. My work outs aren't hard compared to what I am reading that a lot of you are doing, just walking, plus a kick boxing class 3 times a week. Or I am hoping three times a week. Have only made it to one class before I got sick. But still I am missing pushing myself to get the steps in. My mind wants to but my body is saying stay in bed get better. I will still push myself for the 5 minute work out that I promise myself.
Went grocery shopping today, one thing I noticed as I walked around the store, there was nothing in there I was craving. I usually want to buy some type of a snack for the weekend, but today nope. Not sure if this is because I am sick or just my mind changing the way I look at things. I am hoping for the later. I walked by the ice cream and it didn’t appeal to me at all. I looked at fruit instead and got some oranges.
I have planned out my week for food, so tomorrow will be cooking day.
I am making spaghetti with ground turkey and instead of noodles I am using spaghetti squash. Tomorrow is my splurge day so I am going to have French bread with dinner, but today was a carb day and I really didn't have too much so I can splurge on the bread tomorrow.
At work, since we are so busy right now and shorthanded the office staff is going to start to bring in lunch for each other. I have Tuesday so I am making pulled pork with salsa verde. It is simple and easy, I just buy some store made salsa verde and add it to my pork roast in the crock pot. It tastes great. At lunch I will have some on a plate with lime over the top and salad. Unless it is a carb day then I will get some with a tortilla. Add some salsa or avocado and you have a great lunch. I am also planning on bringing in soup for the days the other make food, just in case it isn’t on my plan then I still have lunch with me. They all know I am trying to stay on the program, but they don’t have to, so I will stay be looking out for my own good.
For dinner I will be having left over spaghetti expect for Wednesday. I make that the day I eat fish. I want to add another day in the week for fish, but my family doesn’t like it so I hate cooking 2 different meals but on Wednesday I make them fend for themselves. So I can have what I want.
Well I am off to get my minutes in and back in bed for the night. Hoping I feel better tomorrow so I can get over 10,000 steps.
Stay true to yourself, and let’s kick some butt this upcoming week. I am looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow, hoping for another pound.
