I have decided that I need to get back on track when it comes to diet and exercise. I let myself fall of the bandwagon awhile ago. I was doing so well when it came to eating healthy, tracking my calories, and exercising. I was even running everyday - a complete surprise for anyone who knows me and how I feel about running.
I can't blame it on anything, but one of the biggest reasons I wasn't being as healthy was the new job. I am loving my new work and everyone I get to hang out with all day. This makes it hard to say no to eating out and Starbucks runs - which we all know is high in calories! Oh my!
Well, the other evening I found myself trying to convince a bestie that diet is everything! She is in the same spot I was a few years back - working out often but not seeing any results. It wasn't until I really watched what I ate that I saw results. I decided to take my own advice to open-up my dusty-old iPhone app "myFitnessPal" and log my entire food intake for that day - oh.my.word...I was overeating! I decided that it was the end of eating whatever I wanted and I jumped back on the bandwagon!
It's only been over the weekend but I"m happy to say that I ate healthy and went running twice - and usually weekends are my cheat days (or at least the days that I don't worry too much about calories and exercise). I feel great! I know that it's only been a few days, but I really do feel more energized and good about everything! I'm looking forward to walking tonight and running tomorrow. I decided to start easy and interchange walking and running throughout the week. I'm hoping to work back up to 2 miles. The heat is not my friend these days...it makes it real difficult to run when it's almost 100degrees outsides. Being able to have a friend with me always helps and I have a buddy for both - walking and running!
My picAday is a catch up from the weekend. It all started with golfing on Friday. Here's my fab hubby - he's an awesome teacher and I've learned everything I know so far from him!
My real picAday was a frustrating moment for me today. I was so excited to eat lunch with a bestie that I haven't seen in forever...when I left the restaurant my mood changed...I was on my way back to work when I got stuck in the parking lot due to this genius! It was so annoying! There was only one way out and he was blocking it. If I could have I would've squeezed through, instead I had to wait 10 minutes to leave!
Until next time...ta ta for now!
