RichardSimmons.com meditation
So the new beginning was today and I must say that I am pleased with my results… I got up and did the normal morning stuff and went to work… kept track of my food on my paper version of the FoodMover (I find it much easier if I just keep the food chart in my pocket notebook), got home and took Jake to the YMCA with me.. did 20 minutes on the eliptical and to change things up I did 20 minutes of fat burn on the exercise bike instead of weight training… was pretty tough, but I am glad that I did it and fell good right now… Took one of the new (December) recipies off RichardSimmons.com, the Chicken Pomodoro recipie, and cooked it… it was awesome… I was tempted to eat more than I had space for on my FoodMover… it was really good… but I was able to put it away and not overeat… I actually have a lot of windows left today.. most my vegetables and a lot of starch… as well as some fruit… I could eat right now, but I am going to have some water instead…. I also only had one Diet Caffine-Free Doctor Pepper (the BEST diet soda in the world right there with Diet Rite Zero) today as I am planning on increasing my water intake and lower my diet drink intake…
After dinner I remembered that tonight was the Richard Simmons chat.. and of course I was too late like always… but I did speak with a bery noce woman in Washington D.C… we shared some stories.. it was nice… felt helpful having someone else talk about what their struggles were.
Then back to work (at home this time) and now I am updtaing the blog as promised… I believe that I did everything I set out to do today! 🙂
It was a good day, just planning tomorrow and remaining focused and calm about the whole thing. I stayed up to late last night watching a yoba/meditation show on PBS.. very interesting and it has rekindled my desire to learn meditation (in my spare time 🙂 ) so in bed early tonight.
So, were there any ‘breakthroughs’ today? Any life changing revelations? Nope.. not at all… but I do feel good and know I will feel better as I get closer to my goal weight. I know that I have a lot of people in my life that are very supportive (you know who you are) and that I will stumble (like I did over the last couple of months) and that it is hard to get back on track, but it can be done.
So tomorrow my plan is to pack more for lunch, come home from work and go to the YMCA and do eliptical and swim. Then have a healthy dinner while staying in the guidlines… and perhaps try to meditate.
