Today's Not So Good Things:
House is rather a mess from projects that are partially done
The tentative plan for dinner is very high in sodium. Feeling a little bummed on that, though I'm really looking forward to the meal.
Behind on lesson work today
Ton of shoveling left to do (but that is actually good, since it gets me using those muscles)
I'm having a great day! I'm so pleased that I've been on the move and being productive around the house today. And I enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL walk in the falling snow with my husband and one of our sweet Girlies.
My breakfast was great. In fact, I've made wonderful food choices all day. I'll list them here. I like seeing a full day of success :).
Pre-breakfast: 30oz water, 1 cup black decaf coffee
Breakfast: 1 serving Sweet Beans, 1 grapefruit, 1/2 banana, 1 cup decaf black coffee
Morning Snack: celery w/ peanut butter & raisins (2 small pieces)
Lunch: Beef Stew, LOOM muffin
Afternoon Snack: Fruit & yogurt bowl w/ sliced almonds
I've just got another 20oz of water yet to go for the day and I've met that goal. Now, I just have dinner ahead. My dear husband offered to get take out of some kind for our date night. I REALLY want to enjoy that. I have enough calories for it even. I entered it in on my food diary and it puts me way over on sodium. :-( I want to not care about that and just enjoy, but I hate seeing that grumpy old frownie on my otherwise long line of smilies.
Sodium is a pain. I'm always high on it and it makes me crazy. I haven't taken that on as an official challenge just yet, but it's lingering there, waiting for me to deal with it.
So, I have plenty of calories left to enjoy a lovely take out meal with the fam. I still have my workout tonite that will give me even more calories to enjoy a little date night treat with my sweetie. (probably popcorn or coffee with flavored creamer). But, I'm going to be annoyed that the sodium is so high.
Funny, it wasn't long ago that I wasn't annoyed by anything I ate. Yet, here I am annoyed by how difficult it is to keep up my energy and fit in my clothes. Just look where that blaise' attitude got me.
I much prefer fussing about my food before it goes in my mouth than dealing with the troubles it causes once it's there. ;-)
I understand about the sodium. I usually do fine, but once in a great while I'll have a great day as far as everything else goes, but then the sodium will blow the whole thing. (It usually occurs on those rare occasions when I eat chinese food! Take out, or at home... just doesn't taste like Chinese food unless it can also embalm a person...*sigh*)
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy that evening with your husband that is planned... and hope it's not spoiled because of thoughts of sodium.
You are doing great, and I love the fact that you were able to put in so many smiley faces today on your hard work. :)
Have fun shoveling! :)
