I've been slowly getting into working out, and liking it. Yesterday I did a dvd on toning uppper body and a few lunges and squats. Today I continued with that DVD and did a cardio routine of 5 sets of a loop consisting of jumping jacks, jog in place, mountain climbers, back and forth, and grass cutting(?)
Diet-wise, my cravings are well under control and I don't care to reach for seconds or salivate over thoughts of food or feel sorry for myself over what I'm missing out on. I haven't felt hungry or starving. Today was a test with eating out as we were invited to someone's place for dinner. So I had to make an exception and be ok with eating some carbs for dinner. Here's the breakdown:
Breakfast: coffee with cream
Lunch: Salad, a side of black eyed peas, and some indian veggies (little bit of oil and sugar)
Resisted snacking or eating anything else until dinner arond 8 pm
Dinner: Paneer veggies in tomato gravy (no seconds), green pepper veggie, 1.5 whole wheat chappati, 1 small cup of moong dal, and 1 piece of handva (salted/spice cake made of rice dough)...and watermelon. Skipped rice and seconds of anything.
Had a little bit of fennel seeds for after dinner mouth freshening.
Water intake has been good.
Tomorrow, I'm headed to NYC and spenign time with friends who have historically tempted me to eat gourmet stuff, have desserts, and drink wine. Today, I'm creating the possibility of staying powerful and on top of food cravings--and not run by them! The plan is to have a small portion of healthy carbs for bfast or lunch, but not for dinner. And no wine or dessert. Even if it offends them. I'm worth it and what's at stake is my freedom and full self-expression.
Weight was down to 157.8 today.
