I finally got to speak with the Registered Dietitian who came up with our diet plans. Part of our responsibility to him is to keep an electronic record of our food intake. Having to write everything down really makes me thing about what I am eating. The goal is for me to eat about 1500 calories a day and work out at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. I was pretty good with my eating during the day today because I brought both breakfast and lunch to work. Dinner was not so easy. I went to a friends house who was having a BBQ and there was so much wonderful food. I tasted everything :) I will have to be extra vigilant the rest of the weekend and make sure to exercise a lot.
Work today was pretty stressful and normally I would turn to food for some emotional eating. I was so proud of myself today because I stuck to only eating what I brought to work. One of my coworkers brought a huge tub of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce to work today but I resisted. I knew that after work I would be able to indulge in some delish Berry Chill. I was able to get about 40 minutes of cardio in before the on-call pager for work went off and interrupted my workout. I don't get cell phone service in the gym so at that point I stopped so I could deal with work stuff.
The weather was perfect tonight. I had such a great time sitting outside and hope that it is nice again tomorrow. The plan is to wake up and hit the gym in my building before heading up to the roof and catching some rays. I will be wearing sunscreen, of course, because the sun is unhealthy and not part of the low car diet :)
Wish me luck!
