Jan 27/09

A good day overall. I’m going on a work trip to Vancouver at the end of February and I have a few mini-goals set to meet before that trip

1) lose 5lbs – I don’t know how I’m going to accomplish this without a MAJOR overhaul of my eating habits so I guess I’m going to have to suck it up and get in line at the salad bar
2) do not drink until we land in Vancouver. This should be easy so long as my social calendar remains relatively blank as it is now.

B: Oatmeal, flaxseed, golden sugar, blueberries
EX: 30 min CURVES
S: coffee
L: Leftover curried beef stew with chickpeas, carrots, onion, celery
S: Yogurt
D: Curried cauliflower soup, multigrain roll with butter, Caesar salad, ¼ granny smith apple (sharzies with my kid)
S: I ate something… chocolate? I can’t remember
H20: Over 2L

So I made those mini-goals on this day and started to do something about it (kinda – see my weakness later in the evening)

B: Oatmeal, flaxseed, golden sugar, ½ apple
S: Coffee, yogurt
EX: 30 min CURVES
L: Ham on a multigrain roll, yogurt
S: Handful of Almonds
D (Ate at my parents as hubs went to spinning class): Chicken goulash – chicken breast, carrots, rice, noodles. Jello, 1x chocolate chip cookie, tea (I have NO control when I’m with my folks!)
EX: 25 min run on the treadmill for 3.22km
S: Chocolate marshmallow Santa thing from my kids stocking. It was stale. Handful of rice crackers
H20: Over 2L

So, I know where I go wrong – night snacking! I honestly do not think I do very badly with eating. I dunno, maybe I should track my stuff on a website or something. BAH! I get the less in, more out concept. I just need to get on board I guess.

I’m feeling good about this day!

B: Oatmeal with flax seeds, blueberries, brown sugar and milk, coffee
L: Mixed green salad, ham sandwich on multigrain bun
S: Grapefruit, 100 calorie chocolate bar
D: Curried beef with chickpeas, carrots, onions and celery served over jasmine rice
Ex: 40 mins on the treadmill. 5.15km total
H20: Over 2L

I did not want to get on the treadmill at all last night. In fact I offered hubs first crack at it, but as soon as he ‘fessed up that he was not going to go for a run, I headed to the basement and took on the task. The pride I felt upon completion is immense. I’m pretty damn proud that I keep running. I had the same nagging feeling in my knee/ankle last night, but nothing worth stopping for. I’ve been reading some things about running lately and I know that some pain just needs to bear running though. I hope this is that kind and not a symptom of a larger problem.
