2-22 an 2-23

yesterday was just a day.  I didn't do make a trip to the gym or do anything for the extra effort.  Sadly I didn't even write down all my foods.  overall I did ok with it.  Even when I was thinking about blowing it off and just eating what I wanted to I ended up making healthy choices.  

Today I didn't plan on any workout.  Sunday is my day to just do what ever.  With that being said even my "whatever" days I usually end up with a much better choice of nutrition than I use to.  Today wasn't really any different.  I did well but I also had a couple indulging moments.

After church stopped off at United for some lunch items.  In case you haven't noticed it's that time of the year.  Girl Scout cookies.  I was a girl scout back in my day and I will always buy at least on box.  My guilty please?  Of course the mint cookies.  I had only ONE serving which is four cookies.   Granted that was a whopping 160 calories but worth ever bite of it.

Today after lunch we went to Lucy Park and I did a lot of walking.  Even though I didn't make it to the gym I got in as much exercise as if I had gone to the gym.  I even got to spend time with my family and it was great.  Then back to house for dinner, sandwiches.  I would like to say that I had something healthy but let's face it, lunch meat is not one of the healthiest choices I could have made.  I did add a lot of veggies and wheat bread but the sodium in that stuff isn't a really good choice.  

The for the second indulging moment.  My daughter had wanted to bake a cake and it was that time.  While I did eat some I have only a small portion.  This was a great thing in itself that I didn't eat more, she did a really good job with it.  

So I am totally ok with the day.  Overall my nutrition, even with the indulging moments, were a lot better than I use to do.  I can remember a time when I would have eaten a lot more and not gone to the park for that walk.  I was pretty happy at the park too, not just because I was with my family.   

As I was walking up to the falls it felt good.  On the way back we decided to walk to the basketball court too.  Not that long ago when I walked just to the waterfall I would have to stop a few times to catch my breath.  Today here I was we walked that and was on the way to the swinging bridge and I was still going.  I didn't even feel winded at any time.  The knee on the other hand was starting to bothering me but I still felt really good.  By the time we had walked back to the car I was still not feeling even half as tired as I use to in just the walk to the falls.  NSV!!!  It was a good day.
