Halfway Theeerrreee...
Livin' on a prayer... I think I've already made this reference. I'm a sham. I'll be better about it...So, this is day 4 of my lifestyle change/epiphany. About halfway through the first week, which is well on my way to making a habit. Some research has said the magic number to create a habit is 21 days. Well, I've got 17 left! A little more than two weeks! Then, it's just a matter of making sure that one event doesn't derail me. If it does, I've got to get right back on it, instead of saying "Oh well!"It's time. I guess that's going to be my catchphrase!TODAY! Today is Day 1 of 12, straight, of work. My summer job isn't exactly the most intensive, at least not how student teaching was, so I think I'll be able to make it through. It's just using time wisely. There can be periods of long downtime at this job, so it'll be a matter of occupying my thoughts and doing something useful, so that I'm not bored, and therefore not wanting to snack.OMG, exercise kicked my butt today! I tried 20 of the 45 minute Betty Page Fitness video I mentioned in another post. It was grueling but worth it. Let me say, it's kind of refreshing when your instructor is also huffing and puffing through the workout with you!Had an egg cup today for breakfast, as well as half a piece of Dave's Killer Bread with some SmartBalance spread and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Rounded the meal out with some cantaloupe. The egg cups were a complete success! I love them and plan on keeping it in my repertoire.Lunch was great too! Took a piece of Dave's Killer Bread, toasted it, then cut it in half. Then, I cut an avocado and took a slice to mash and spread on the bread. Topped it off with lettuce, tomato, and two pieces of bacon to make a BLT: A+ as Joy Bauer called it. Delicious!Here's dinner! Low carb tortilla pizzas with part-skim mozzarella! Soooo good! Of course, I decided to throw mushrooms and some avocado on mine!Today, I noticed that after each of my meals, I was actually satisfied. I wasn't overly stuffed, and I wasn't hungry for more. I know that all days won't be as easy or nice, but that's okay!Oh God, Camp NaNo word count is... not great for the day. We're gonna leave it at that... XDCiao for now!
