Day 16

I don't have much to say today. I didn't make anything nifty, eat anything nifty, do anything nifty. I drank too much protein shake, used up half my carb allotment for the day by 9am, ate the rest of my carb allotment at lunch, cause I bought a burger at work because I didn't prepare my lunch last night, and I threw the top bun away and just used the bottom. I debated whether to just omit the bun all together, but that left me with a small patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato slice, mayo and hot sauce (did you know hot sauce has zero carbs? I do now!) and said to heck with it, I'll splurge a little.

I ended my day at 24 carbs...also because I took a Vitamin D/Calcium Chew. I still came out well, considering. I'm not hard on myself, I just like to be consistent.

I feel like my diet (not "on a diet" diet, but the food I eat, diet (I don't like the word "on a diet" it's so overused and therefore you can't take anyone serious who claims to be on one. Aren't we always on a diet?) is established. I'm not craving anything naughty. I do need to switch things up a bit, I'm getting tired of scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, egg salad, chicken thigh, chicken thigh, chicken thigh, hamburgers. I eat other things of course, those are just my staples.

I need to get back into my routine of exercise. I have the best of intentions...uh hello, I have an elliptical machine 3 feet away from me as I type. There are pros and cons to having one in house. There is no motivating yourself to get up and get ready, get in the car, drive to a gym, and spend enough time there to justify your trip. But then again, it's too easy to tell yourself you'll go on when the kids go to sleep, after this show is over, when my favorite Food Network show comes on. It's my favorite to watch food shows when I'm on the elliptical, it reminds me of why I'm on it and why I got where I am....sugary goodness.

I do my best workout on Friday and Saturday mornings, which are my days off. You cannot get me up any earlier to workout on my work days, I get up at 6am...that's tourturous as it is. The only way to get things done is JUST DO IT!

No point to this entry today. Goodnight.

    Until morning sickness kicked my butt, I ran 2 miles 3 times a week, first thing in the morning...that way I didn't have it looming over my head all day.

    I discovered if I got up and immediately put on work-out clothes, it increased my odds of exercising...just a tip. So maybe try talking yourself into getting changed during the next commercial break, something like that.

    I did 30 minutes of elliptical while watching a lame Lifetime movie about high school cheerleaders!

    The morning's really are out. I wake up at the absolute last moment to get me to work before I'm officially tardy (I have it set to the minute). If I stayed at home, I'd totally do it in the mornings every morning. So for now, it's around 10pm time.
