day one of the newest evolution
food log:
i woke up this morning exhausted from sleeping poorly. it was pouring rain and black as pitch outside. all i wanted to do was stay curled in the bed. however, i knew i was going to get up and go to the gym, and i did! i got up and went even though the hippie stayed abed. it's really weird--it didn't even feel like a big deal. i am not sure what's turned over in my head here, but i am just going with it. i have taken this different approach to things mentally--viewing working out as a maintenance of health issue and not as an emotional thing. i know if i keep doing it, the pounds will come off, so why stress about them coming off? it will take as long as it takes. it seems to be working (for now). i am VERY tired right now, but i think that just means i will sleep better tonight. maybe tomorrow it will be even easier to get up. :)
- breakfast: two eggs scrambled with thyme, two pieces of canadian bacon, 3-4 oz low sodium V-8, two cups of tea with 1% milk and 1 tsp raw sugar each
- lunch: chicken caesar salad (1 grilled chicken breast, 1 heart of romaine, caesar dressing--no croutons)
- dinner: grilled london broil, sauteed mushrooms and onions with fresh herbs and red wine, and swiss chard with lemon and garlic
- snacks/other: 1 stalk of celery and 1 wedge of light laughing cow cheese in the morning, half a medium cucumber and some hummus in the afternoon, an afternoon cup of tea and an evening one (i needed the caffeine!)
- desserts/sweets: none

I'm proud of you. :-) One second one minute one day at a time.
good job - wish i could say i was being as good - instead, i've been in a little "funk" today, and i'm eating fudgestripes! bad, bad kimmie!
you go, jackie!
Woo hoo! Go you. You know I'm on your side. :)
doing something is better than doing nothing!
now, for the questions: what kind of ceasar dressing did you use? store bought? can we have a cooking lesson on sunday? can i come live at your house? i think i need to follow your menu, it's always so delicious!
so, i might just be on your heels ;)
i do use store bought--my favorite is silver pallette (sp?) creamy caesar, and their caesar salad splash is also good. but as long as it's olive/canola oil based and has under 3g of sugar per gram, i will use about anything. :)
we can def have cooking lessons on sunday! you know the day is always half cooking, half knitting anyway!
