My picture is sideways due to this blog site not cooperating with me. I should really have the programmer boyfriend just build me my own website so I do not have to worry about these things. Blah!
^ Done :)
Anyways, this is my breakfast from Saturday. I have been sticking with making a good breakfast for the past few days (with the exception of Sunday), which I am pretty proud about. I have not been taking pictures because, honestly, I forget until I am finished eating it.
We were setting out bright and early this day for a backyard games tornament of cornhole, darts, and beruit. I wanted to have something good in my stomach so that I did not over do it with chips and BBQ things throughout the day. Well, after 8 straight hours of standing and throwing I don't think I really needed to worry. Anything I would've ate I surely worked off with the competition. I tried to stay good though. I had exactly two doritos, 3/4 cup of potatoe salad and two cheeseburgers. I know, I know, the burgers were bad. If it makes it any better I had one for lunch at around 1pm and then the other was for dinner at around 7pm. I could've had a hotdog for the dinner portion of this day to mix it up, but they were not ready yet and I was cranky and starving. All and all I was proud of myself. I got in a proper amount of fruit for the day, was active all day long, and made sure not to overdue it on things.
Sunday me and the boyfriend went out to breakfast at one of my favorite places, Newcomb Farms. I got my usual Skillet Breakfast. This includes slices of sausage, home fries, cheese, and scrambeled eggs all mixed in a skillet. It came with a side of english muffin covered in butter and grapefruit juice. Not the healthiest breakfast I know. I was exhausted from working 55 hours last week and our full day of competition on Saturday and was not in the mood to make a good choice. I wanted to love my breakfast. This was the only meal I ate this day.
I was back on the grind at 3pm for an 8 hour work day of OT. I was standing the whole time and all I ate for the rest of the day was about 2 cups of Skinny Pop and an individual size vanilla greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of granola. With the standing I am pretty sure I evened myself out calorie wise with my giant breakfast.
I won't go into detail with every little thing I have eaten the past two days. I am already bored with this post so I can only imagine what you must be thinking. Let's just say I have made healthy and non healthy choices every day. Even though the non healthy has crept in there I am still proud of myself. Usually it would be all non healthy so anything is an improvment.
With any big change you plan to make in your life it is all about putting one foot in front of the other and pushing to take it one step at a time. You can not expect to change everything overnight. Changing my lifestyle is going to be a life long battle. I will have to decide every day to make a healthy choice instead of indulging in the greasy and fabulous side of the food world. I am okay with that though. Just like with anything in the world you have to work for it. You have to earn what you want. For us non trust fund babies, things are not handed to us on a silver platter with an easy way out.
The boyfriend has been a great supporter so far. We went for our first outdoor run on Monday night. It was a struggle and I did not do as well as I anticipated. I have been running on the treadmill and was pretty proud of how far I had come. I knew running outside would be different, but I did not know it would set back my already horrendous numbers so badly. He was a trooper though. He pushed me as far as I could go and then a little more. He even asked me about doing a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving this morning :) I was totally thinking the same thing yesterday when I was at work. We had run 2.5 miles together, so I thought maybe I could convince him to do a 5k with me and we could train together. It was nice to hear that we were on the same page and he enjoyed the horrible run as much as I did. Tonight we tackle the road again.....
