Today was a good day, two in a row. That's a streak! Ha ha. I got up, ate a big breakfast, went to work, came home, took Cocoa on a walk, stretched, did some ab work, made dinner, and did the dishes. Now I have to switch loads of laundry, take a shower, get ready for bed, and go to bed. I'm so tired I think I might fall asleep in the shower.
I ate a big breakfast today and I could actually feel a difference. From now on I'm going to eat 500 calories for breakfast, 400 for lunch, 300 for dinner, and 100 for a snack everyday. I've read that it's best to eat a bigger breakfast, a little bit smaller lunch, and your smallest meal of the day should be dinner. That makes sense. You need more calories early in the day to wake up and give you the fuel to get through the day and at night your metabolism slows down in preparation for sleep.
For breakfast I had Cheerios (1 cup) with milk (1/2 cup) and a peanut butter sandwich (2 slices of white bread and 2 Tbsp of natural peanut butter. For lunch I had a buffalo chicken wrap and french fries. I didn't have time for a snack today. For dinner I made chicken enchiladas. Delicious. I'll probably have some for lunch tomorrow. They were so good.
I took Cocoa for a walk today (2.12 miles). It was so hot. I'm surprised I didn't sweat through my clothes. She was difficult again today. She pulled the whole way and I had to pretty much drag her the last block or so because she wanted to eat every rock, leaf, bug, or whatever else she found on the ground. After we got home I stretched for about 10 minutes and then I did some light ab work (100 crunches and 5 leg lifts). My legs are so tired. I'm so tired.
I'm not going to be able to go on a walk tomorrow because I'm going over to my friend, Libby's, for a movie night with her, her son Landon, and our friend Amber. I should be able to on Friday. I have plans but they don't start until 7 PM and I can be late. I'll probably go on my walk as soon as we get home from work and then as soon as I get home take a shower and then head over. Then Saturday for sure I will be able to fit in a walk.
Today was so good and so was yesterday which is fine with me. Especially after the day I had on Monday.
I drank a gallon of water today! It wasn't that hard and I didn't feel like I was forcing myself to drink it. I drank a lot after that walk. I was so thirsty and sweaty I drank 24 oz in about 5 minutes.
My head is starting to hurt. I'm going to go take some naproxen and shower. Then it's off to bed for me.
Night guys! Sending my love and support your way!!!
