Indulgences

I am soo tired tonight, so I'm going to make this short. It was another busy day with family potluck and other random things. Some things happened at Jon's job that made it so he couldn't get out early tomorrow to have dinner with me, so he took me out tonight for Mother's Day. We went to Chili's and I definitely enjoyed some indulgences, but I did it with portion control! I also had a good day for my running.

Exercise:

Cardio: Run 2 miles, walk 2 miles about 60 minutes

Strength training: I didn't get to this today. :-(

Food:

Breakfast: None... too busy getting ready for the get together at noon.

Lunch: It was potluck, but I did good on portions and had fruit for dessert. I divided my plate into quarters and had a plain grilled chicken drumstick in one, baked beans in another, healthy broccoli salad in a third, and my grandpa's scalloped potatoes in the fourth. I didn't have seconds either!

Dinner: We went to Chili's, and I was a little naughty. We had an appetizer of chips with salsa and queso con carne. I didn't overdo it though. My dinner was an 8 oz sirloin which I cut and put half in a box, mashed potatoes with gravy (again half in the box), garlic toast, and broccoli that I'm pretty sure was buttered.

So, I know it wasn't the best for day for food, but I used some self control, and didn't just stuff my face. Also, this is the weekend, so I can have some stuff I wouldn't normally eat during the week as long as I watch my portions like I did today. In the past, I would've definitely had seconds at lunch and I would've easily eaten the whole thing at dinner. I think that making these changes will really have an impact if I stick with them. I have to admit though, I didn't really feel the best after Chili's. It's funny how fast your body adjusts to eating well.

Well, I'm exhausted! More tomorrow.
