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.
