So yesterday I had posted that I didn't think I would have a chance to do my workout since we were going our to dinner for birthday celebrations... well, I forced myself to leave work right at 4:30pm and go home and workout before I picked the kiddo up and headed to dinner. I felt so good about myself for doing that! I was almost late for dinner - but the rush around was worth knowing I got my 400 calorie burn in. Especially since we had dinner at Outback Steakhouse... where almost everything on the menu is 1'000 calories or more. -.-
Stats for 10/11:
- total calories: 1746 - I stuck to my choice of salmon w/ steamed veggies for my dinner at Outback. I did have bites of Bloomin' Onion (I can hear JW screaming at me now, "NO FRIED FOOD. At all. Not even a BITE!!"), and I had a bite of desert. But seriously. Just bites. Maybe 1/10th of a serving size. I'm going to try not to stress too much about that... but I also am trying to keep in mind that a "couple bites" everyday add up to mucho extra calories over the course of a week.
- calories burned: 400 - I AM SO SORE TODAY!! My arms. They kill me. I used the weights with the work out yesterday and my poor arms felt fatigued for like 3 hours afterward. Today I think I'll do the 15mins leg routine because I'm not feeling much in my legs at all today.
- 4 cigarettes - didn't make it to Thursday this week. Derek and Melinda stopped by last night.. and well... that was the end of that. I'm such a social smoker it's ridiculous. Basically I need to just get all my friends to quit smoking and then I'll be good to go. lol
- 11:15pm bedtime... then my husband came home from his football outing and kept me up till almost 1am. I struggle to get out of bed in the morning sometimes, but once I actually get up I do just fine. I just really want to get that 7-8 hours in because I know getting enough sleep is a huge key to successful weight loss.
- $6 spent on lunch ($34 left for the week - dinner was free thanks to the in-laws!)
Perhaps some of you have picked up on the fact that Monday is "Taco Bell Day" around here.. Mike and Alex loooooove Taco Bell so on Monday we always go. This Taco Bell day sucked for me - not gonna lie. I stuck to my clean eating. I ordered a steak taco salad without rice. I had never had their dressing before, tasted it, thought it was disgusting so instead dumped 3 packets of their hot sauce on it. It wasn't bad. But it wasn't delicious either. I would have much rather eaten a 7-layer burrito sans rice, but I had already gotten my "fats" in with my apples w/ peanut butter snack that morning so the guacamole would have been a no-no. Perhaps on Mondays I'll just start bringing plain fruit for my morning snack so that I can have the 7-Layer burrito when we have Taco Bell... of course than there's the dilemma of the tortilla...
Okay, so packing lunch on Mondays it is! lol
