Last night could have ended badly but I decided not to let it get that way. Not only did I eat out once yesterday, I ate out twice causing me, of course, to go over my calories. It was horrible. On top of that, I forgot I was supposed to make cupcakes for DD's party today at school so I was scrambling around looking for ingredients, baking, and icing cuppies until 11pm last night.
Right there is where it could have gotten worse. But instead of going into the bedroom and going to bed like I wanted to, I
knew I needed to work off some of that food I ate or else I would regret it today and then it would have shown on the scale that I didn't do anything about it. Instead of my regular 20 minutes I did my normal weight loss program on my treadmill but went the whole 30 minutes. It wasn't that bad at all. Everyone else in the house was asleep so I couldn't really watch anything while walking so I turned on my ipod and jammed out to some good pump up music. I think I've figured out what makes walking on the treadmill so hard. It's when I don't have anything to distract me, all I do is stare at the speed, incline and time to go until it changes again.. I guess in a way ot makes it worse when you know it's going to change.. If I
really pay attention to the music, I don't notice the difference in speeds and inclines as I'm going and it seems to go by a lot faster. Plus alot of my music on my playlist have the perfect beats for my paces so that was great.
After my 30 minute walk (1.5 miles) I did my strength training. I'm going to have to change around my strength exercise soon because these are getting too easy and I want them to actually work for me. But for now these are the ones I do.
After these I did about 10 minutes of stretching. I got finished right before midnight where I was slowly crawling into bed. This morning I thought I would be tired, and I guess I sort of was but I know I would have felt worse if I would have gone to bed w/o the exercising.
Here's to good choices! I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and go easy on the Halloween candy!!
