Thursday's day off from working out was just what I needed. Yesterday's workout (1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 7, 5, 3, 5, 3, cool down) was really good; I got through it with no problem, no struggle. I mean, it wasn't an easy workout, but that little voice that usually wants to give up was noticeably silent.
I have a confession to make. I'm a scale watcher. Yeah, yeah, I know the scale is not the only indicator of how I'm doing, but I'm powerless to not weigh in. The scale to me is almost larger than life, like the refrigerator was to Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for A Dream (but not nearly as creepy). By the way, if you haven't seen this movie, put it on your MUST SEE list.
That being said, I'm only counting my weekly (Monday) weigh-ins as official; the other weigh-ins are just me satisfying my secret jones.
The Man and I went swimming (again, I'm playing fast and loose with the word "swimming"), but I did do some laps. We were there for about 45 minutes. Although somewhat refreshing at the end of a long week, they must have had the heat down and it was too chilly for my taste.
So what did I eat today?
- Water: 16.9 ozs
- Multigrain oatmeal with milk & coffee. Around 300 cals.
- Grilled chicken on whole wheat Tuscan pane with lettuce & 1tbsp of mayo. About 450 cals.
- Little slivers of snacking. On the high side, I'm going to say around 300 cals.
- Another small coffee - 100 cals.
- Banana - Around 100 cals.
- Protein bar - 170 cals.
Approx. 1420 cals less 324 I burned off = net 1096 cals.
