Time Change

I've been stuck in night workouts for some time now. I've decided that I need to get back to mornings. It would be better for lots of reasons. Not for my beauty sleep, but better for the family. The alarm went off at 6:00 am. It took me a while to get out of bed and say my prayers. I didn't actually hop on the treadmill until 7:00 am. It's a process. It was a hard workout. I don't know if it's because I haven't run much in a week, because my last workout was less than 12 hours ago, because I'm tired, or some combination of the three. I only had time to get in a 30 minute walk/run. 350 calories. Enough to burn off the extra cookie I ate last night. Even squishing that in is making the morning more trying than usual. Who am I kidding. It's always trying with one of my children.


On a good note, it occurred to me that the pound I gained at yesterday's weigh-in may have been due to the high-sodium canned chicken noodle soup from the night before. I weighed-in again this morning just to see, and it's gone. Yea! I'm not going to change the ticker just in case, but it makes me happy to know it's not there.


breakfast (316):
1/2 tortilla (75)
1 egg/2 egg whites (102)
cheese (69)
salsa (5)
1/2 c. 2% milk (65)

lunch (250):
2 apricot halves (20)
1/2 c. grapes (31)
2 c. lettuce (16)
1/4 c. diced tomato (8)
1/4. sliced carrot (12)
6 cucumber slices (8)
1 T. ranch (60)
1/4 c. cottage cheese (55)
2 slices ham, chopped (40)

That just might leave enough room for a cookie. I'll have to think about it...

The cookie temptation got the best of me. Before I knew it I'd downed probably 1000 calories worth. Ugh. When will I get control over this?

I'm too tired to figure out dinner's calories. Leftover chicken noodle soup (here comes the water weight) and grilled cheese. I'm going to guess 500. So, in my estimation that's 2066 calories for the day. So much for reaching my goals.
