Some Days Are Harder

There are just going to be days that will be harder than others.  I wouldn't classify yesterday as a 'hard' day, but I would say that I just didn't want to do everything at 100%.  While I did go to aquatics in the AM and make a kickass pizza from scratch for lunch, I think that is where my motivation left me for the day.

I was supposed to do my Upper Body Strength Training in the evening and I was supposed to have a balanced dinner, but neither of those things happened.  Joe had to work late yesterday, so instead of my usual healthy dinner, I really just wanted and had toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk.  No veggies, no variety, and actually the same thing I had for breakfast.  But you know what?  It was exactly what I wanted and so I ate it and felt completely satisfied.  (Though I do believe my stomach wasn't too happy with it in the middle of the night because I didn't sleep well and I dreamt about magical boxes that transported cheese snacks to you whenever you gave it a gummy bear.)

The second thing I neglected was my upper body strength.  Instead I watched, "Gandhi".  Now I know that it is a 3 hour movie and I could have easily worked in my 30 minutes of upper body while watching it, but you know what?  I just didn't want to.  Apparently my inner child was full of opinions last night about my activities and eating.  And sometimes you need to just listen to your inner child and be the rebel you want to be and not do those adult things.

I am happy to report that I survived these setbacks and I didn't gain a bazillion pounds over night and no Green Mountain Police showed up at my door to reprimand me.  Today I veered back onto my path and had balanced lunch and dinner and did both my upper and lower body strength.

For dinner I made Turkey Meatloaf in handy little perfectly portioned sizes, roasted sweet potatoes drizzled with honey, and a spinach salad.  Below is a photo of the colorful meal.

Tomorrow is a new day and who knows what it will bring!
