The good with the bad
The big bummer tonight is that we lost our game … by a score of 15-8, we think. (No one was working the scoreboard, and I lost count at 15-6.) This team was REALLY good, though. We decided most of the guys probably played ball in high school or college.
The good news is, that with the 70-minute game, I logged something like 170 minutes of exercise today. I spent some quality time on the treadmill, including 1 uninterrupted minute of jogging at 5.1 mph, and did a few minutes of weight work and a pilates class. Guess I was making up for missing yesterday’s workout.
It’s a little troublesome, though. Like Roni, I’m struggling to convince myself the extra workout time does not give me license to eat whatever I want. I’ve already tapped into about 6 of my WPAs tonight (before adding back some APs, so it won’t be quite that bad), and I’m still craving something. I may have to eat the 4-Point frozen dinner that I packed for dinner and then didn’t eat because the Boyfriend and I met at Carl’s Jr. before the game.
On that front, I have an NSV to report: I only ate 5 of the Boyfriend’s fries! I enjoyed those 5 fries, with a little ketchup, and then stopped eating them. I can do it! ( I ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich, so dinner was 9 1/2 altogether.)
Another thing I noticed: The XL men’s shirt I ordered is huge on me. It’ll probably shrink, which is why I ordered that size, but I still didn’t expect it to fit like a night shirt! Woo-hoo. All the eating right and exercising is finally starting to pay off.
