I wanted to go for a bike ride this morning. I was supposed to get up at 6:15am (craziness!) so that I could be back before my husband left for work. He ended up waking up in the middle of the night with a coughing fit; I woke up also, having already been awoken by my 7 year old climbing into bed with me. Isn't she too old for that? So when I awoke at 7am and then was told by my husband that it was wet from rain and not ideal for bike riding, I decided to just go back to sleep, knowing that the basement where I exercise (not that it happens often) was a mess. Excuses, excuses. So much for rising early! (As a side note, my husband actually brought the pilates machine upstairs so that I wouldn't have any excuses. He's being very supportive!)
Here's what the day ended up looking like.
10:30am small banana, 16oz glass of water
11am 20 minutes Pilates (with machine); 8 oz glass of ice water
2:30pm salad (2 cups green leaf lettuce, 1 freshly picked roma tomato, 1/3 cucumber (farmer's market), 2 slices lean ham, 1 oz. cheddar cheese, 1Tbsp. Blush Wine Vinaigrette)
4:15pm 16oz water
6:40 pm one helping of beef stir fry with brown basmati rice (beef, green beans, sweet peas, carrots, zucchini, onion,Trader Joe's Soyaki, Succanat, Cooking Sherry, Soy Sauce, Garlic Powder, Olive Oil, Butter ); 8 oz ice water
7:45pm 12 oz water
Old habits are hard to break. I can see that it's not as easy as posting a blog entry. I still skimped on breakfast and slept in too late. But no snacking and no treats and no seconds on dinner, even though I wanted more. I did a rough calculation, and I'm only at about 750 calories. Obviously I need to eat more. 52oz of water isn't bad, but I need to increase that even more.
Anyone else with me? How'd your day go? |
