A Beautiful Day!
Today was a beautiful day in the part of the US in which I live. The sun was shining and it made it very pleasant to get some extra exercise in. I walked for around 45 minutes with one of my cousins and a friend, thats all the time we had. I had to get to class! It is so much more fun to walk with people you care about, walking becomes less like a chore and more like a relaxing time. I felt totally revamped after exercising and spending time with the girls. I had a good day overall, I did not even eat all my points, but I loaded a lot of points on the evening, Im not so sure that was the greatest thing to do. But, thats how it worked out..I calculated that by the time I was getting ready to eat dinner I had only 8 pts during the day. Needless to say, I was hungry. I ate a med. piece of steak that I called 5 pts, it could have been more or less but I have a hard time judging meat. If anyone that is doing weight watchers points is reading this please let me know how you gauge the points in meat, I need to be able to do it without having a scale..for the last bit I have been guessing, and trying not to eat to much of it. I also had a cup of baked potatos which was 2 pts. then I had a bowl of cereal after dinner. I felt really bad about the cereal but I was hungry. After eating the cereal I did the glamour strength workout. It feels amazing when you get done with a taxing workout, you feel like you have the strength to takle anything that life throws at you. I did not get a lot done school wise tonight, I basically just veged out and watched American Idol..I cannot believe they sent Carly home, she is such a wonderful talent, I know that she will go on!
About todays water goal, I did GREAT! I drank 3 bottles of water instead of the 2 I had challenged myself to drink…I actually cleaned out and vacumed my truck today, it was definantly time to do that. I felt good for getting that little bit of extra exercise in to. In cleaning my truck, I found an influx of water bottles which motivated me to start putting some of them away. I am going to continue cleaning the water bottles out of my truck by drinking them, don’t worry they are all my water bottles, I have a long commute to school therefore I spend a lot of time in my truck. I tend to take water everyday and a lot of times I don’t drink them so I garnered quite the collection. In the last while, while I have been making water goals I have been drinking the bottles, so I just have to go back and get rid of the ones that have been in there for a while. I think drinking water is a great appetite suppresent, its no calories, and you can still be taking something in..its not like you are starving and thirsty. Im glad water exists because most all drinks (including milk) have points in them, since I like to eat pretty well I don’t want to drink to many of my points up.
I had another run in with the dressing room today. Dont get the impression that I shop all the time, I really don’t, like I have said before Im trully broke in a bad way. I made the stupid mistake of taking a prescription painpill that my doctor gave me today without reading the label for the warnings on it. I had the begginings of a migraine, if you have ever had a migraine you know that when you feel one coming on you tend to panick. Well, long story short I got the script filled and went straight to the car and popped one. In reading the label post swallow, I found that the pill I had just taken was at least 1/3 sedative. I panicked, I had to drive back to the college from the wal-mart pharmacy I was at and then I had an hour and fifteen minute class that involves sitting in the dark watching foreign language movies and reading subtitles, I did not know how I was going to stay awake. I decided the best thing to do would be to go to one of the local clothing stores and look around and try on clothes for a while, that way I could see what kind of effect the unknown drug was going to have on me. I happened to enter a store that sold Silver Jeans, in case you don’t know that brand, they are very expensive. The pair I tried on was $69, I know you can do worse, but thats expensive to me. I tried on a size 31 waist, I couldn’t believe it but they still fit. The waist was somewhat tight but I was able to get it on. I wore a 31 waist a long time ago..I know that I need to watch it or a 31 waist is not even going to come close to fitting me. I also tried on several other pairs of jeans, turns out, in picking out jeans I tend to judge my size to high. Most of the jeans I took back to try on were to big. I really hope that I can lose some so that I can really wear a smaller size and not only in brands that employ vanity sizing.
I got a good complement from my cousin today. She is a little older than me and we don’t see each other very often. She told me that I was at one of my smaller weights. I do not see that when I look in the mirror, but she seemed to see that. Her compliment motivated even a little bit more to keep going with this. I also would like to acknowledge a couple of annonymous comments that I got on here. Thank you so much for reading my blog, I write it for people like you because I know there are so many of us who are having to go through the whole weightloss struggle. Thank you also for the encouragement and I would like to challenge you to keep coming back to my blog and commenting and let me know how you are doing. I will write you back, I believe that motivation goes both ways when people help each other to live better!
Well I guess thats all I have time for for now! I have met the weekly goal today and I also met my daily goal.
Tommorow’s daily goal- lets do water again and set the goal high, lets go for 3 as our base to shoot for.
Good Luck, remember the cliched phrase, nothing tastes as good as being thin feels, its so true!!
