2016 - Day 7

Bad news first: I ate more than I should have today.

It started with a hungry morning, meaning I consumed my homemade, sort of healthy cookies before lunch. (They have some butter and sugar in them, but whole wheat flour and then a whole bunch of good stuff like pumpkin, sunflower and poppy seeds, flax, chia, dates, etc.) Then my healthy lunch plans were derailed when my fave little place was out of baked fish, but did have shepherd's pie front and centre. (Note to self: Work on If/Then!!)

These two things would have been fine, but I had forgotten that it was Tasty Thursday at work. I've been very good lately at not eating Tasty Thursday stuff just because it's there. However, today was really good stuff and I did not try hard to fight it. I had two different cookies. However, they were both AMAZING! So I'm not beating myself up. I did ignore the enormous box of Timbits that my team was sharing today. Every time I looked at them, I tried to think about how they're made in a factory. That helped.

Finally, I came home to awesome homemade pizza and ate a bit more than I should have, because of news coming later in this note.

Good news next: I made a plan for an evening gym class and I did it!

It's the endurance weight training class that I used to do twice a week in my healthy years. I really like it, despite the fact that I did it a week and a half ago and could barely walk for a couple of days. THIS is why I ate some extra pizza. My intention to come home and make a big salad to go with a small slice of pizza was forgotten when I got home late and hungry.

Now I'm feeling a wee bit old and broken because of the class, but trying to see this as a good thing. Finishing this post and hitting the hay ASAP.

Oh, and planning ahead: Physio appointment near my favourite cookie in the whole city tomorrow, but I will NOT BUY A COOKIE! You read it here. No cookie.
