Healthy Living Journal - Day 2

Today has been a very busy work day.  I had a meeting at 7am, 9:30am, 10am, 5pm, and in one hour, another at 8pm.  This left me no time for either feeding my gather addiction or feeding my face.  Unfortunately, it did not leave me time for a workout, either.

The truth is, I take a day or two or three off each week from exercise when I'm not training for any races.  I did do 40 pushups (the girly kind) when I got up this morning, and I took, the all-important one-a-day vitamin.  I love vitamins....all those nutrients without the calories.  But, of course, I realize it's good to get the natural stuff, too.

My pat-myself-on-the-back-moment was at lunch today.  We had a work BBQ and there were plenty of goodies, including potato chips, burgers, hot dogs, brats, potato salad, and desserts galore.  I contributed cupcakes and didn't have a single one!  I didn't even have a slice of that luscious chocolate cake when my co-worker came by and told me he'd made it himself and that it was delicious.  (I almost took a slice to be polite, if nothing else, but I resisted.)  Picnics and parties....with all that yummy-all-you-can-eat goodness....are my weakness.  I had a veggie burger and a small spoonful of potato salad.

Dinner was a bit 'iffy'.   I made this low-fat chicken alfredo recipe for my son and myself.  It was difficult not to lick my plate, but, again, I resisted. 

Woo Hoo!  I'm sure I must have lost at least an ounce or two since yesterday!
