back in the saddle!

Breakfast!! It was YUMMM!

Have you noticed I tend to only remember to take pics of the healthy stuff? Uggghhh. Notice how I didn't show you the club sandwich with fries I had for dinner last night. I WAS good, and ordered it without bacon and mayo, but I did eat most of the fries. FAIL. Oh well.

The good news is I did work out yesterday! TWICE! (sort of). It was super sunny and I thought, Hey! I'll walk the dog! In actuality, it was like 30 degrees outside, so we walk/jogged about a 1/2 mile and came back cause it was c-c-c-cccold! And I completed my Day 1 of Jillian Michaels Death March 30 Day Shred. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The cardio was pretty easy, but it was a couple of the lunges that killed my right knee, where I've been having pains, and some of the rows were killing my elbow too.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT... all went well. I am mildly sore today, but I do want to work out again, so I'll probably try a yoga program and walk the dog (for longer than a half mile, this time I'll remember my jacket). I mean, after all, the dog really could benefit from losing a couple of pounds too ;) He's my extra motivation!

Woo!

Had a great evening last night, and did pretty good with the diet... except for the 8 beers.

Fail.

And of course today's mild hangover has caused me to fall off the wagon too. Pizza. Pasta. M&M's. Two, count 'em TWO sugared sodas. Dammit.

Double Fail.

So. Tomorrow beings two things.

First off is I'm starting a photo food log. I've been keeping track of my eatings in a handy little notebook, but I read somewhere that its a good idea to take pictures of what you eat. Since you can get a good idea of your portion sizes, and the more "colorful" you food is, the more diverse in vitamins and minerals it tends to be. So I'll start posting that tomorrow! :)

And tomorrow I'll be starting a Leek Soup food fast. About a year ago I read the book French Women Don't Get Fat. I'm sure you've heard of it, and I enjoyed it. The Leek Soup is basically leek broth that you eat for two days. That's it. Leek soup and the occasional leek. I'm curious to see how awful it will be. Not the flavor, but how starving I'll be. I'm not going to do a ton of exercising, other than walking, but I'm going to start doing yoga. Time to get use out of the mat my boyfriend bought me for Christmas. YES!
