Today Pippin decided that even though it was Saturday, it was not a sleeping in morning. As soon as the gym was open, I walked right over to the gym and worked out. On the recovery stations in between, I was able to raise my knees more and work hard. Breakfast was 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and 6 oz. of cottage cheese. Only a short while later, I was hungry. I had a cup of corn chex cereal and another piece of bread with 1 TB of peanut butter.
For lunch, I had another 2 cups of that awesome black bean salad from yesterday. It's still holding up well and it filled me up. I did a lot of work around the house today and also worked on the garage. By two, I was exhausted and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up really feeling my sore muscles. Three days of work outs in a row have started to take their toll. When I got up, I took Pip to the dog park.
I made a decision to relax a bit on the eating this afternoon. I had a medium chocolate frosty on the way home from the park. I turned our pop cans in and was able to get Applebees 2 for 20 for Paul and I. I had their Napa chicken and portabellos with grilled potatoes. For an appetizer we had the spinach artichoke dip. For dessert, I had an ice cream sandwich and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Later in the evening, I had 5 twizzler pull and peels. While I know it was not a red letter day, I am really encouraged by the progress and successes of this week and am not going to beat myself up about one evening. Things are going really well.
I had 12 glasses of water and put 4728 steps on the pedometer.
