Today is a new day! This is the only day that counts!
Usually the weekend offers many more obstacles. Are you able to hurdle those obstacles? I have been thinking about that this weekend.
On Saturday, I spent most of the day at home. Later in the day I had to run to the grocery store. Talk about a zoo. Most people must have been in for the day yesterday. I live rurally so going to the grocery is about a fifteen minute drive. I cane home and made a vegetable soup.
My son went to spend the night at a friend's. Myhusband and I decided to go to the Casino. We each put $20.00 in the machine. It took us about five minutes each to lose our money. We stayed around there for a while and then headed back home. I made it through the day without too much struggle.
Today my friend called and asked me to have lunch. She is going through some domestic issues and needs a friend right now. We went to Hoolihan's and sat for about 3 hours. I got lettuce wraps. I haven't looked up the calories yet, but I didn't eat the little crunchy things or the peanut sauce. I just had lettuce and the chicken mixture. This evening I ate leftover vegetable soup. I don't think my eating was too bad. Weigh-in tomorrow. We'll see how the week goes. I am not trying to lose weight rapidly, just lose consistently and enjoy life in the process. This is a long term goal, not a rapid weight loss and then gaining it all back.
My exercise is definitely lacking. I just need to get going more. I don't have a treadmill or any exercise equipment at home. I do have numerous exercise tapes. I sometimes just climb stairs at home in the evening. I won't make it to the gym until Tuesday. With missing Friday it seems like its been a long time now.
Well weight - in tomorrow. Cross your fingers!
I am 58, overweight again, and trying to get healthy. I am blogging about weight loss and everyday issues for women. My blog will include ramblings about the daily life of a mother, grandmother, wife and friend. I would love to have you come along for the ride!
It sounds like you did fine! The sodium from the chicken mixture might be up a tad, but overall, I can't imagine doing much better! (watch the sodium content on all soups, too.)
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!!
Just stumbled onto your blog - I too am almost 60 (March 2 2014) so since Dec I have made it my goal to get healthy and lose some weight BEFORE I hit the big-0. It's so hard. I'm already trying to find ways to quit. Hang in there sister, we can do this! Misery loves company! :-)
