My food day went fairly well. I had a bit higher then normal calories, but I sat for about 90% of what I ate. As someone mentioned a few days ago, I am not doing this perfectly, but I am certainly improved since the challenge started.
I agree- this day will always be tough and somber.
My plan for the day: E: 3 mile walk, 30 minutes of cardio B: usual (done) L: chicken salad wrap S: yogurt and a peach D: out at the party - will eat slowly and mindfully and veer towards the healthier items but I have a drink and dessert worked into today.
Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
At least my day will start off well. I'm taking my running group on a "mock half" today along the course that we will be running for real in 2 weeks.
This afternoon it will be pizza and chicken from our family's favorite in honor of my sis & nephew coming in. I'm just hoping to be really, really good. The tough part is that none of my meal times will be normal today, which is not a problem on a normal day. I'm usually extremely hungry on long run days.
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
