Holiday Summary

Successes for the last two days:

Avoided Pizza Day at work. Although I was tempted (it smelled so good!). I just ate what was in my lunch bag and politely refused.

Went to a family cookout. Brought my own turkey burgers, turkey hot dogs and bread along. I didn't fall trap to any kind of potato salad or chips or anything. I was pretty proud of myself.

Ran to the library and back (about two miles) on Saturday evening. I ran on a main road, in front of other people. It's always been hard for me to exercise in other people.

Found a reasonable yoga studio with evening classes right near my house. Will be venturing there one evening a week.

Made a tasty, low fat, fiber filled four bean salad for a small cook out. Will make again in the future. Found low fat (and tasty) hot dogs at the market. Will purchase again.

Cut the sugar down in my coffee to about three. Coming down from six or so is an achievement for me, especially since I'm used to my coffee being a candy treat for the last five or six years.


Opportunities:

Did not eat normal breakfast for the last two days. Just a light breakfast.

I must find a way to work in 10,000 steps into a day off. Especially on weekends off. The two mile jog wasn't enough, so I had to do a cool down walk to get the right amount of steps.

Must work in smaller snacks, or at least remember to eat snacks. I've found myself hungrier between meals lately as opposed to other days.



Exercise today:

45 Minutes Jogging
15 Minutes Walking
30 Minutes Yoga/Aerobics on Wii Fit
About 3 hours regular day to day activity
