So the past few days have been crazy busy, but so much fun! My sister in law got me a lunch box that is huge, so I can fit healthy foods in it! So Thursday I had my first opportunity to use it, and I love it! I could pack all kinds of yummy stuff! We had to take Gidget to the agility class on Thursday night to check things out and have them meet her, and I'll tell you what, it's definitely going to be a GREAT workout! I am going to have to run with her all over this huge room while she jumps and runs through tunnels and stuff! I can't wait! That will be my Saturday workout, for sure!
Friday, I worked at the salon. The salon used to be a huge diet killer for me when I worked there. They ALWAYS go out to lunch, and usually at places not so healthy. I did convince them to go to Subway, though, even though I wasn't eating lunch with them :) Hahaha... but I realized how educated I am becoming on how to eat healthy. I mean, even at Subway, there are unbelievable calories that can accumulate on those sandwiches, and I was so glad that out of the people there I would have been making the best choice!
Yesterday was the "test" of how much I have learned. We had our Easter dinner last night, because our families had to split today to make it to all the in-laws and stuff. So we had our usual food, I just made different choices. I filled my plate with veggies (not too colorful of veggies, but still veggies!) They took over about 3/4 of my plate, then instead of ham I had turkey, a few potatoes, and a piece of bread. Then, Ian and Mandi brought brownies that were 30 calories a piece, which were amazing! And I kept some in the freezer for when I want something like that! :) Thanks, Ian! I did also have a piece of carrot cake, but only 1/2 of a piece. The best part? I stayed in my calorie range! YAY! After dinner, we went for a long walk around the neighborhood, burning 368 calories! Woot woot! (Normally, I wouldn't have gone on this walk.... Mom and Aunt Jody go every time we get together)
So I guess we could say I've been successful, huh? LOL I haven't weighed myself or measured myself lately, but I can definitely see a drastic change... and one of mom's long-time clients noticed my weight loss on Friday! She couldn't believe it was only 10 pounds! :) Good sign, huh?
Enjoy your Easter! And remember, be light on the candy! Is it really worth the taste for the calories? I survived, and felt good afterwards. So will you!
