wednesday, practicing a tiny bit of self-dicipline

food log:

• breakfast: 1 egg on 1 slice of whole wheat seeded bread (omega 3-seed from the 9th street bakery), 1/2 a piece of turkey bacon, LS V-8, and tea
• lunch: same pasta as yesterday, pinky. click here for the recipe.
• dinner: went to neomonde before dance class--had some majadra, some cabbage, stewed eggplant, and a chicken thing with squash and carrots and stuff in it. the triumph of dinner is that i stopped eating when i was full. neomonde is healthy, but the girl who always serves me give me a LOT of food. usually, i just eat it because, well--it's great, but this time, i was like--hmmm. i'm actually pretty full. and now i have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. yay for a modicum of self control!
• snacks/other: no snacks in the morning, some almonds in the afternoon
• desserts/sweets: 1 hershey's dark chocolate nugget with almonds

activities: went to the gym! whoo hoo! did weight training for legs, chest, and biceps, some ab work and stretching. i would have done some cardio, too, but i arrived late due to an alarm clock snafu. thank goodness we had dance class tonight--that's my favorite cardio anyway. :) here's to making it to the gym tomorrow and friday, too!

by the way, i sat down last night and wrote out my work-out for today. that really seems to be my key motivator. if I write it down, with a date and everything, it's like i have mentally committed to it. i HIGHLY recommend keeping a workout notebook if you need some motivation.
