So this week has went well.
I did not get on the scale before I started this adventure, because I think that a scale is an evil little device that some skinny wormy chauvinistic pig created, so women can feel bad about themselves.
But, I know about where I was. Sometimes I think, if you get on the scale, you will just depress yourself even more. Like if you get on it and you see just how much you screwed up, you go into a “screw it all. I’ll just eat whatever I want until I’m Fat and HAPPY!”
Maybe I will not get on the scale Tuesday. Tuesday is the week 1 mark for me. I never start a diet on a Monday.
So Tuesday went well.
Wednesday, started off with half of a brioche (don’t judge) it was whole wheat and I only had half. with some coffee, and a mango, I totally deducted 6 points from that.
Then for lunch I ate two eggs sunny side up, without even 1 tsp of olive oil. So I didn’t count points for that. Because I think i lost that point in the 1 hour long Yoga video I did. Yoga I need to talk about that, I need to remember that. And some sautéed spinach in 1 tsp of olive oil, divided between two people. I didn’t count the point for that either.. lol.
Then for dinner I made Balsamic Glazed Salmon. OMG it is my favorite. I served that with whole wheat basmati rice with spices. So that I decided was 4 points, because of the balsamic vinegar and then 4 points for the wine I had with dinner. Which really put me over the numbers, because I had an aperitivo when I went to town. And I just had a glass of wine. Look I’m doing baby steps here, I have been on a year long wild ride of no rules.
Today, for breakfast I had fruit and coffee. For lunch I will have left over rice and probably another 2 eggs sunny side up.
Dinner, I’m thinking a salad with some chicken. And balsamic vinegar only as the dressing.
Fruit, I did stock up on fruit. And that reminds of this.
What the bloody hell. Nicola came home with this and he said, I got this for you. I thanked him for it and explained I have never eaten one, neither has he. I ain’t even gonna lie I’m a little intimidated by this thing.. I don’t even know how to cut it up and all that…. Maybe more details on that later. It will depend on what kind of relationship I have with this dragon egg looking thing later…(I dealt with this and here are my thoughts). Furthermore; back on track.
Yoga. A few years ago, I bought DDP yoga, Jillian Michaels yoga, and Yoga burn.
Jillian Michaels Yoga, I don’t like at all, I hurt my shoulder doing some crazy table top position and never did it again. Maybe you will like her, but I don’t she reminds me of that crazy ex drill instructor that was your PE teacher in middle school, but hotter.
Yoga Burn. It really looked like a good gig at first. I was all into it, but oh my god the dvds are boring. and you have to repeat the session 3 times to get the whole workout. I’m not into that repeating what I did before crap.
But, then for the LONGEST time I did DDP yoga. yes, the Diamond Dallas Page yoga. I remember in no time, I was doing good and feeling good. So yesterday, I figured, yeah I’ve been doing yoga, I’ll just pull out his dvd and roll with him. 1 hour later…….. I’m dead, I feel dead today, my back hurt something awful this morning only because the muscles are so sore. This is exactly what I needed. Then after doing that, I went and walked to town with the dogs and Nicola.
This is from my apple watch. I need to remember to put that joker on everyday. I got out of the habit of using it.
In fact, I didn’t put it on when I got up this morning. and I ONLY put it on to walk to town yesterday. I need to consciously remember to do this.
I might take it easy today and just go for a walk after dinner. and do some sun salutations and call it a day, and start back up with some more DDP yoga in the morning.
Iago and Paldo are getting along well. I had to separate them for a hot minute but, now they are doing ok. They are also coming around a little bit and not super skittish like they were.
