There were good things today and not so good. I actually got up in the morning, but then ended up in bed later in the day. I was sore and achy and had a head-ache. Do you think staying up until 2am reading had anything to do with that? Here are the specifics:
7:15am 16oz water, 1/2 banana, 30 min. bike ride,
7:45am 16 oz water
8:10am 20 min Pilates mat workout
9:30am scrambled eggs (butter, eggs, milk, ham, cheese,), toast w/ butter & grape jelly, 5 blackberries, 12 oz. water,
3:30pm (Yep, 6 hours later) leftover beef stir-fry, 1 small white peach, 12 oz water,
5:30pm 12 oz 2% chocolate milk (Hershey's): What can I say? It was either that or oreos and milk.
7:00pm BBQ pork, yellow squash w/ butter & cream cheese, baked potato w/ butter(half as much as I usually use), sour cream, chives from the garden, 16oz. water
9:30pm 8 oz. water
DH is really bummed about the no eating after 8pm rule. He asks how we're supposed to enjoy our ice cream without the children. Sacrifices! ;)
I did well with water today: 80oz!!! 50 minutes of exercise is great too. The only set-back is the 6 hour lapse in eating. I think I need to eat more frequent smaller meals to jumpstart my metabolism. My body has gone into starvation mode after all these months/years of skipping meals and not getting the proper amount of calories, so it just holds onto fat and I'm not able to lose weight.
Alright, I'm off to bed so I hopefully won't be as exhausted tomorrow. I have work to do and can't afford to spend half the day in bed reading!
I pray you have a great day! I forgot to mention yesterday, but the couple of verses I've been meditating on the past couple of days are
"Whatsoever you eat or drink...do all to the glory of God," and "You are not your own, you have been bought with a price, therefore glorify God with your body." (1Cor. 10:13?)
Grace and Peace,
