So, Sunday was a day of rest. I didn't intend it that way, it's just that time got away from me. I did sleep in til 8:00AM and then went to 10:30AM Mass. It was donut Sunday, but I was not tempted. I had a cup of coffee while the kids ate donuts.
We are having trouble with the 2 vehicles the kids drive. The tan van is at Geoge's and has been there since last Wednesday. George doesn't know what is wrong with it. The car needed a new battery. George installed a new battery on Friday and by Saturday it wouldn't start again. Tom found the problem. The post on the battery is not thick enough for the cable. It needs an adapter. So without their own transportation, I had to drive Jessica to and from work on Sunday. I had a lot of chores to do in the house like laundry. I made a shopping list of healthy foods and Tom and Jack went out to get them. I prepared my veggies for my lunches for the first 2 days this week. I also prepared a healthy dinner: chicken, rice, broccoli. I prepared everything for my chicken stew that I put in the crock pot this morning. I also visited with my mom for 3 hours and then Tom's mom for 1-1/2 hours. So, Sunday went by so fast that I didn't get any exercise in.
I got up at 5:00AM today though and got out the Wii. Tomorrow is weigh in day (I think). On the Biggest Loser Wii game I THINK weigh-in is once a week. I hope so. I want to see how my hard work is paying off.
Today's food: Breakfast
Kelloggs Special K chocolate - 1 cup
1/2 apple
1 Cup of tea
1 bottle of water
Snack: 3/4 Cup Quaker oat cereal with 1/3 cup raisins
Lunch: Chicken breast sandwich on whole grain bread w/pickles and mayo
Raw broccoli and cuccumbers
water
Dinner: 1 cup chicken stew
oh, and I always have a cup of hot tea w/skim milk and splenda after work. It seems to curb my hunger.
I think it is funny that whenever I begin an exercise regime I keep looking in the mirror expecting to see results ... yet I rarely see results until way into the process. Somehow, though, I expect to see a different me looking back. sigh. Patience is a virtue, and I do not posses it. The scale may say there is a result, but my eyes sure don't see it!
ReplyDeleteI hate the "waiting game" for results.
yeah, I agree.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Stevia (natural sweetener) yet? MUCH better for you and tastes good. Splenda is poison.
