Ok folks, time for more honesty. I did absolutely nothing yesterday. It was my birthday and I just didn't feel good and so I did nothing. So go ahead and let me know, that is no excuse not to work out. It is fine, I told myself this already. Now I am going to move on.
The snow is falling steady again today, but I am going to head out to the grocery store and pharmacy anyway. Sometimes you just have to. I am going to hitting the Wii a little today, it may be pretty light since I still don't feel well, but I am going to burn some calories anyway. My husband reminded me even light exercise is good exercise. Maybe some Yoga and a little upper body work will take care of it.
I went to the store yesterday and got a big bottle of Stevia to replace sugar in my iced tea and other drinks. I love Stevia, it is a natural sweetener with zero calories derived from a tea like plant. It takes hardly any of it to sweeten something and tastes just as good as sugar. If you haven't tried it I suggest it, and don't get the Stevia mixed with other stuff, get the real thing, you will appreciate it a lot more. Today I am going to be getting the normal grocery staples that we are out of, plus some No Sugar Added Apple Butter. This is some awesome stuff for an alternative to jelly and sugary syrups on biscuits and bagels and sandwiches. I love Apple Butter! I might pick up some Sugar Free Jello too, it always make getting away from sugar so much easier.
And in addition to that stuff I will be doing laundry and cleaning my home, which always helps with a calorie burn! So for once I might be excited about that!
I think everyone deserves an off day once in a while, no better day than your bday.
ReplyDeleteI did read an article on "New Years Resolutions" that said if you stick with your resolution for more than 2 weeks with no interuptions you are 70% more likely to follow through to the end.
I guess those first 2 weeks are rough.
I recently went on a "diet" I saw that I lost some weight just by drinking no pop for 1 week (didn't plan it at all)...so I cut out sagary food and pop....well here I am drinking a pop at lunch, my first of the week.
It's hard to 100% deny yourself, so from today on I can either have a. 1 pop a week or b. dessert once a week.
We will suffer together, then live in our bathing suits when we're skinny =D
