This was a week of mixed blessings.
I did a lot of hours this week, and often didn't have time to make dinner. My husband was a great help, and cooked a few meals during the week. The good thing was we had a lot to eat- the bad thing was there was a lot of pasta and not too many veggies.
Breakfast and lunches consisted of the same foods for the most part. This week it was chicken salad with a side of sliced green peppers and apples slices or a banana for a snack...except for that one day where I bought a hoagie. A turkey hoagie with ranch dressing and bacon on a whole wheat roll. That sucker was consumed for both lunch and dinner- and worth every calorie.
I also finished off the gourmet candies my sweet husband gave me for Valentines Day. Not all at once, mind you- just a nibble here and there during the entire week.
The funny thing is the scale still showed that I lost another pound!
Now that the candy and hoagie are finished off, I can try to behave myself this week.
Lessons learned:
It's okay to indulge once in a while, as long as 'once in a while' doesn't mean ' every day'.
Rest is just as important as eating healthy. I tend to indulge more when I'm tired.
Anytime you can snatch a chance to exercise, do it!
This past weekend I took an impromptu walk with a friend. It felt great! I had to sit once or twice, (which showed me I'm in desperate need of regular exercise), but it was a great walk with a good friend. I really need to start a walking club!
On the whole not a bad week, though I admit to indulging too much. Now there's nothing in the house to tempt me, so this week should be even better!
