But all I wanted to eat today was sweets and treats. And, I had a fairly active day, so I did. My meals were fine- but I should have eaten them closer together and planned better snacks, because, well…here’s what I ate in between meals:
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake
- 2 chocolate peanut butter balls
- Chex Mix
- Popcorn
- Leftover birthday cake
Now, the good news…I worked out, plus shopped plus did housework, so, while I’m not helping myself lose weight very quickly, at least I’m not packing it back on.
Workout: I did not want to work out today. At all. But I have a deal with myself. 15 minutes. Put some effort into it. If I still hate it, I can bag it for the day. I don’t usually hate it, except when I’m sleep deprived or have PMS. So I did a set of lunges. And wanted to leave the gym. I compromised and hit the elliptical. 15 minutes later, I was still hating it. But not as much, so I switched to an upright bike. With the most uncomfortable seat I’ve ever sat on. Keep in mind, I once rode a bike that left me feeling worse than after giving birth. But it wasn’t that bad while I was on it. This might as well have been brick. So as soon as the bodybuilder got off the recumbent bike I switched to that. All and all, a good 45 minutes of cardio. THEN I DID PILATES. Yep. And I liked it. The only part of my workout that I enjoyed today. Pilates is good stuff.
Here’s my stats for the day:
- Calories Burned: 2738
- Calories Consumed: 2631 (yikes)
- Deficit (at least there still is one) 107. And there are 2.5 hours left…maybe I’ll jump on my bed for a while…
but probably not.
