Week Three Day Four

I rocked this morning.  After a disappointing night last night and a night where Pippin kept growling at the thunder, I was exhausted when that crummy alarm went off.  However, I won a huge victory by getting myself out of bed, walking to the gym, and working out.  Go me!!!

Eating today went really, really well too.  For breakfast, I stopped off at McDonalds for a fruit parfait.  I ate my morning ounce of almond snack.  Though I put lunch off until my prep half hour, I stopped and ate though I had a mountain of things to do.  I had 2 pieces of wheat bread, 1.5 TB peanut butter, and 6 oz. of cottage cheese.  After work, I stuck to my afternoon snack of a piece of string cheese, an apple, and about a cup and a half of baby carrots.  For dinner, Paul and I had a Subway chicken teriyaki sandwich.  In the evening, I had 1/4 C of semi-sweet chocolate chips, but that's the only thing "off plan" that I had.  I added to that 9 glasses of water.

Also, when I got home from work today, I did one of my favorite things.  I walked in, dropped my stuff off, grabbed the harness and leash and took Pippin for our long walk.  I set a new record for my pedometer (since keeping this blog) of 11003 steps.  Though tired, I feel really good about today and am going to chalk this one up as a victory.  As a friend from Curves reminded me this morning, "I'm worth this."
