OK so tomorrow is weigh in number two and I'm curious to see how I did. Eating has been basically the same all week with salad, yogurt and healthy fruit. Yesterday I did have some snacks, probably more then I should of but my eating schedule was all off. I started the morning with cereal and milk and then had a yogurt around 11:30am, after that everything went downhill til dinner. In the afternoon I snacked on a peach then went to the mall and was starving so I got Pretzel Bites because it was already 4ish and didn't want to spoil dinner. For dinner we ate out with friends at the Cheesecake Factory, the menu is like a catalog with few affordable healthy choices and some how they think a salad with 550 calories or less (I believe is the number they said) is a "Weight Management" salad. Overall I think I did well ordering, I order the "Renee Special", which included a cup of soup, half of a turkey sandwich and a salad, but of course at the end of the meal I ordered a piece of Pineapple Upside Down Cake Cheesecake. The good thing was I didn't finish the cheesecake and when I left the restaurant I didn't feel like I was going to explode. :)
As for exercise, I think I'm in love! :) Yesterday morning I went running again and completed one mile in 16 minutes and 40 seconds and I didn't walk at all. Then in the afternoon I went swimming. I swam back and for a few very short laps and could feel my body exerting itself! I noticed at dinner last night the front of my thighs were a little sore when I walked, I smiled. Even though I don't want to feel sore all the time, being sore reminded me of all the hard work I did in the morning. So this morning the Boxer woke me up at 7:20ish, I took the dogs out, fed them and got changed into running clothes. I ran the first mile and decided I was going to walk the second and third mile. When I finished mile one I began to walk probably a total of 2 minutes and then decided I felt good enough to run a little bit more. I couldn't believe it but I started running again and ran the second mile too! I completed both laps in 33 minutes and 40 seconds! I didn't continue to the third mile today, maybe tomorrow. I think I'm going to run the "Free to Breath" 5k in Glastonbury. If you would like to join me I think I'm going to register this week. This race is to help raise money and awareness for lung cancer. If you would like to donate towards the cause I will be taking donations as well, but I'll let you know about that at a later date :)
Oh, I also found a post that a friend made on facebook about healthy vegan black bean brownies, they sound good if anyone wants to try them the link is below.
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!!!
