I didn't even realize that I didn't blog yesterday!
So yesterday was interesting. It was all about me making decisions about food in the real world without calorie counting.
First my trainer and I went for a 3 mile run. I shaved 3 min off of last week's time (mile splits of 11 min instead of 12). So, that was exciting. Then we went out to breakfast at a cafe. I really wanted the chocolate croissant but that was out. Then I wanted the bacon egg and cheese sandwich. No. So I ended up getting a bagel with egg, pesto, tomato and mozzarella. And you know what? It was delicious!
For lunch, made home made mac n' cheese. Used 2% milk and a blend of Cabot's 50% and 75% reduced fat cheeses. Saved 10g fat and 100 cal as compared to regular milk & cheese. Plus - tasted awesome! Never made home made mac and cheese before. I'm not sure I can ever go back to boxed!
For dinner - we are ordered Chinese.
Old order habit: wonton soup, fried dumplings, fried rice, maybe sesame chicken. Last night, steamed chicken & veggies and brown rice.
It definitely didn't taste as good, but I was proud of myself!
Today - swim practice with Betsy.
Tomorrow - personal training.
I'm taking my day off either Tuesday or Wednesday - TBA.
Haven't really looked at the scale in a while. This quarter seems to be more about putting on muscle/losing inches rather than weight. So there you go. I haven't been as strict about measuring, weighing and tracking everything I eat. On the other hand, I work out all the time. So, whatever. I'm really starting to feel like I can conquer the triathlon!
Last night, I was so grandma! I came home and Bengay-ed both of my knees. Hee hee.
