Today was a good day. I made up my mind, that today was going to be a stellar day food wise and it has been. I must admit that as soon as I had hit publish on my last post- ya know, the one in which I brag about my super hero self-control powers?- Yep, well that confidence was a bit over- inflated. :) I proceeded to eat nearly three bread sticks at the Olive Garden and more liquor then I have had in a long time. Overall, it is okay. I had planned on trying NOT to use all my FP, but as it stands with AP factored in I still have 2 FPs to use.

But today- I cooked a ton of kebobs (Love kebabs) AND have some chicken breasts marinading in the fridge. Enough protein probably to get me through next weekend (depending on how much the hubby eats. He, I have found, is sure enjoying having lots of protein sources readily available in the fridge. I have to pretty much triple what I would usually cook so taht we both have enough for lunches.

And hubby and I biked 16 miles today- That’s a total of about 43 miles this week for me. I feel so good.

The funny thing is, even though I am only barely back on program- I am feeling pretty good- feeling like, well an active person (dare I say an athlete). When I started this blog I did some soul searching as to WHY I wanted to lose weight. I pretty much have come to be comfortable (more or less) in my body. So the “ick I don’t like my body” is no longer a big enough motivator. However, I realized that my motivation is truly wanting to FEEL and look like an athlete. I think of myself as an athlete, but no longer feel like one. So getting biking this week has been perfect for me. Next week I want to bike 2-3 times again and add in my weight lifting class again.
