Why is it that on the days I am off I have zero motivation, I can't get out of bed and all I want to do is sit around. But, on the days that I have to work (ie today) I am up and full of energy. Maybe it is knowing that I won't have a ton of time to get a lot done so less is expected of me? But by who? Myself? It's almost as if I justify not doing anything on my days off because well...they are my days off! Then, on the days I work I can say, "look at all I did AND I had to work today!" Seems really crazy but I am guessing that is what it is. Ha, ha, psychoanalyzing myself. I didn't get to do my work out yesterday. No excuses. I just felt too tired. I did however touch up the paint on my baseboards and clean the living room. I feel like I cheated myself by not working out. It will definitely be made up for today!
As far as my eating goes, I think I did pretty well yesterday. I stayed under 1700 calories and drank 8 glasses of water, again! It is not as hard as I thought it would be to get all that water down. I still treated myself with a Pepsi Max yesterday. I also made the mistake of getting a diet coke at Mc Donald's. Oh well. 8 glasses of water still made it in!
Does anyone have an opinion on daily weights? I know deep down inside that I shouldn't be weighing myself everyday. It creates a roller coaster of emotions for me. Lord forbid I go up on the scale, my day is then a rocky one. I just don't know how to stop it. There are days where I get on the scale more than once! As if it's going to magically say I have lost 100 lbs! Neurotic, I know. :) Here's to a glorius and blessed day!

Of course I have an opinion on daily weighing! DON'T do it! But, I know it's easier said than done. Honestly the only way I could keep from weighing myself every day was to put the darn scale in an incontinent place. For me it's not hard...just put it up high!! I dunno, maybe make the hubs put it in the car with him!
ReplyDeleteI think you need more interesting food or you are gonna get so bored. Broccoli, chicken and taco meat??? Here is a super easy chicken recipe that has great flavor. Butterfly a chicken breast and stuff it with a few oz of flavored feta (tomato basil or the garlic one is good). Then toss it in the oven. Serve with fresh tomato on top...and a salad on the side. Not quite as boring IMO :)
