Taking One Day at a Time

The last couple of days have gone well food-wise. I am really trying to find some balance in this arena. I don't want to be drastic, but at the same time I need to be diligent. I haven't visited the vending machine since I started this blog. I think that is a great start. I also think it has been around 2 weeks since I have had anything like burgers or french fries.

I just decided to stop being stupid and thinking the Chicken Salad Wrap I've been getting at Arby's was a good choice. This little gem is 640 calories with 39 grams of fat! I haven't been getting any fries, but 39 grams of fat?!? I definately need to come up with something else to eat for dinner on the way to teach my cake classes.

I really wish I could keep up with my Fitday food diary. I guess I will have to start writing everything down on paper to transfer to the program at night. That really helps me keep tabs on what I'm putting in my mouth. It becomes a matter of simple math at that point.

The other thing I would really like to do is join TOPS again. They are an excellent support group with the added accountability of a weekly weigh-in. I don't see how I'll have time for it until I lighten my teaching load, considering most of them meet on Mondays or Tuesdays.

I did work out at the YMCA this morning -- 25 minutes on the elliptical machine. I would have liked to do more, and possibly some weight training. I got to the gym too late for that though. I ended up leaving the gym at 7:45, which puts me at work at 9am.

I will keep trying and not give up. V.. played a video he took of me proclaiming how good I felt after working out. I guess I can't argue with myself, can I?
