Today was a really busy day! Jameson started gymnastics classes this morning and swim lessons this afternoon, so we were on the go a lot!
Before leaving this morning, I still had the same "nothing healthy for breakfast" problem. I ended up remembering Chris's snack from last night that looked good, so I had 2 triangles of Light Laughing Cow cheese with 12 Reduced Fat Ritz Crackers. Total... 224 calories and less than 5 grams of fat.
Jameson's gymanstics class is the toddler class right now, which means that Mommy participates with him. I did not know what a workout this would be for me! I spent 45 minutes spotting him, supporting his weight, getting down on my knees, up on my feet, climbing onto the trampoline, bunny hopping with him,etc. I was sweating harder than him!
After gymnastics class, we went to lunch with Chris's mom. She suggested a place I hadn't been before that had sandwich, soup, and salad choices. I ordered a pick 2 combo with a small pecan dijon salad (lettuce, grilled chicken, small bacon pieces, pecans, and dressing) and a beefeater sandwich (roast beef and cheddar on a parmesan bread) and a water.
We went back to my in-law's house for Jameson to take a nap. I resisted margaritas or iced tea and had a glass of water. I also drank water while Jameson was at his swim lesson.
After the swim lesson, we met Chris at a local park that has hiking trails in the woods. Chris ran, but Jameson and I walked a good portion of the hiking trail for a while until the bugs got too bad. Then we went to the playground to play.
After the park, we came home and made a dinner. We had grilled chicken breasts, long grain & wild rice, and green beans. I had a small chicken breast, about a cup of rice and a LOT of green beans. I also had a glass of milk. I wanted milk, but I changed to water for the rest of the night.
Overall, today was a lot easier than yesterday! I made better choices and still got in some activity! The last three days have been pretty good. I am hoping the weekend will go well!
Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up! You and Jameson should go walk this morning, before it gets too hot. Since we're going out tonight, we won't be able to go to the park (no running for me :( ). Saturday will be tough as well, with the party we'll be attending. Let's see if we can come up with a plan for that.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good day (well, except for those green beans - YUCK!!!) Way to go!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone, for your encouragement and support for Amanda! Amanda, Chris has the right idea...when things come up, you switch up the routine and make it work for that day. And definitely a great idea to plan ahead for what you know will be a tough situation. And like we talked about, it's about the company and visiting with everyone, not the food. And definitely have to visit away from the snack table rather than in a chair pulled right up to it. That, of course, applies to me too! Love you, Girl, and you're inspiring others also!!
