Yay, an afternoon update! I am usually too busy at work to post an update in the afternoon. The only reason I am doing it today I because the computer I am using is being really slow and I'm trying to multitask. :)
Today I had a GREAT run!! I pushes myself to run ever farther today and it felt great. Normally I run for 1.3 miles. Today I ran for almost 2 miles. I also power walked for 2 miles for a total of 4 miles!! On the walk back home I did some lunges up my hill (which burned like crazy). When I got home I stretched, did around 30 quick crunches, and then popped in the shower to start getting ready for work.
For breakfast today I tried eating a Greek yogurt but it tastes gross. I think the artificial sweetener in my RedBull messed with the flavor. I ended up eating a small bowl of cereal, half the amount I usually eat.
It is 3:13pm and I haven't actually had lunch yet. I am leaving my first client's and heading to my second client's office. I'll heat up my lunch once I get there. Since I'm having such a late lunch I have eaten two snacks: a Pink Lady apple this morning after my run and 1.5 servings of carrots around 1pm. I brought two more snacks with me: another apple and a cup of yogurt. For lunch I brought a Smart Ones: Mesquite Chicken micro meal.
While driving to my client's today I had a realization- Why would I even quit eating healthy and exercising??? I feel great and look great (if I do say so myself *wink *wink). I have tons of energy and am very happy. Before I started this new healthy lifestyle I was ALWAYS tired. On the weekends I would watch TV all day, too tired to do anything else. I took my kids to do fun things but usually later in the afternoon and no where near the amount I do now. I was fat, depressed, always tired, and insecure about my weight. Now I am happy, confident, energized, excited, and I LOVE all of the fun things I've been doing with my kids. I NEVER want to go back to my old life!!
