It's been a few days since I've posted, but it's because I've been busy being good, I promise! I exercised SIX days last week, even though I'd only scheduled myself five. My brothers and I picked up a pretty gruesome game of hoops. Burning off my Easter dinner was a lot of fun that day!
My dad and I have been running 2-3 miles about three times a week, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I am really proud of us for getting stronger and being dedicated to it. Now, if I can just improve my eating habits I will be a-okay.
I've done great eating oatmeal every weekday morning. I notice a huge difference when I eat oatmeal. For lunch, I want to try to either bring Lean Cuisines to work where my portions are measured, or leftover healthy dinner. If we eat out, my rule is to eat small portions of something that looks moderately healthy. In the past, JT and I have enjoyed getting a soup or salad and then splitting an entree. It's cheaper and healthier!
The biggest food trap is my parents' house by far. My mom had a pantry bigger than my bedroom built on to her house a few years ago, and she keeps it stocked with goodies like Gushers, Cheez-its, marshmallows, and others of my vices. Plus, we love love love to cook and together. But if I can just monitor my portions and food journal religiously, I think this running will really pay off.
I am excited!
