Back on Track, Day 1

Yesterday was my kick-up-the-ass day when I checked my weight and was up 4lbs since last Wednesday, 5 days.

I had had a terrible week food and exercise wise, and that weight gain gave me the kick. Yesterday I was getting back on track. So my food was great, I made better choices. I did eat a mini dark chocolate bar while making dinner (always a bad time for picking for me) but seeing as I hadn’t had my usual after school tea and biscuit bar treat, it was ok. I just replaced that for that instead.

I had decided to try to go on the treadmill for some energy after the school pick up instead of the usual tea and biscuit bar, and while it worked and I enjoyed it, I obviously still wanted something nice. The dark chocolate bar wasn’t what I wanted, because after I finished it, I still wanted the biscuit bar – but I decided that I would plan to have it with a cup of tea that night watching tv, and that I’d wait until then.

I walked up for the preschool pickup and took a short walk on the treadmill after school pickup so I did a decent amount of steps, but my shin was starting to get sore. I have to be careful not to get shin splints, because once they get bad I have to stop walking. My knees are also niggling at me this week, which I’m a little bit worried about, but hoping that seeing as I’m not doing anything too stenuous that they will be ok.

So today is day 2, and going to make sure today is another good day!
