Let's recap the weekend, shall we? I know you're all curious to know where I've been.
Friday: Went in to work early, had a breakfast event at work, did some work, bought chicken pitas for Alex and I... came home and had pitas for dinner and watched Beverly Hills chihuahua (cute movie!). I also indulged in a cinnamon roll on Friday. Not healthy. Bad me. No jogging.
Saturday: A day OFF from both jobs. A day to myself. Ahhhh. A day of relaxation. No jogging. I did make a run to Ambrosia (my health food store). Look what I found...
I came home and ate my favourite... sunshine in a bowl...
I also decided to buy another healthy snack...
I did some thinking on the weekend and decided to try something new. I decided to buy dark chocolate and allow myself 1-2 pieces a day. I hear there are some health benefits to dark chocolate (in moderation) and I'm wondering if eating a little each day will cut back on any sweets cravings that linger in me (although, I have to say I have significantly less cravings since trying to switch to my 'healthy' eating).
My challenge this weekend was to NOT eat last night when I got home (at midnight) from my sickkids shift. I am happy to report I managed to follow through... and the scale thanked me today by being 4lbs less than it was yesterday! Holy moly!! (side note: I also had some stomach issues this morning... so the results may not be the same tomorrow or Wed).
Today consisted of a 1hr jog and then going to work. My shin problems are rearing their ugly head again. Maybe it's the new shoes? Maybe it's me? I tried taking smaller strides today and that helped... by 1hr they didn't hurt anymore. Maybe my shins need me to warm up a bit longer in my new shoes... who knows. I will keep at it.
Here's what I ate today!
Breakfast: 1c skim milk (2) w/ instant coffee and davinci caramel (0) - yes, it was a cold coffee drink and not bad! sunshine in a bowl (2)
