A great day!

Tuesday, August 21, 2007

I cannot believe how great I feel just being on track for three days. Although, yesterday was a terrible detox day, after all was said and done, I feel great. I even walked today! Yayee me!!! My calories/points were low today. I couldn't help it. Well, I guess I could have. I wanted to go to Olive Garden. I thought I was going to do worse than I did, but I ended up eating the Minestrone soup, salad, and one plain breadstick. That left me with loads of food to eat for the rest of the day, as I made breakfast small because I figured I would be using a lot for lunch. It all worked out. Except when I was cooking supper, I hadn't been hungry all day.

I had a great supper. Chicken drumsticks, baked potato, savoy cabbage, and squash, onion, mushroom medley. It was so good and so filling. My mom used to cook that cabbage a lot a few years ago. I think I will cut it up smaller next time. It was still good.

I still can't believe I walked today. I live out in the country and our yard is really hilly. I walked in the front yard, down a hill, up the hill, around the backside of the house, and around the goat pen. I forgot to see how many minutes I walked, but I did that routine 4 times. Let me tell you, I was sweating bullets and I was so tired after climbing up that hill the 4th time. This is not a little hill....hmmm, I wonder if I can find a picture. Oh yeah! I've got one, the boys and dh were riding their bikes up and down it earlier this Summer....it doesn't look so steep in that picture, but if ya'll wanna come help me walk it.... ;) LOL

So, here is my food journal for the day. I'm headed to bed.
