1/22/10

This week was a toss up for me. I struggled at the beginning of the week, but finished it strong. I felt bloated because this was my off week. Allot of starch, salt, and dairy. This will be the last week that I will have seven straight days of nothing but goodness. For my next off week, I have bought lower calorie as well as non fat foods in lieu of the normal ones.

Here's my week:

2 Ramen - 1 Can Skyline Chili - 1 Cup Cheese - 6 " Turkey Sub

I actually ate one of my Tuesday meals on Monday. It felt like I cheated, but I kept reassuring myself that it was a free week and that I could basically do what I wanted. I felt rather bloated after eating so much that day. On top of that I had some bad news from unemployment. I think that's what led to my breaking down and eating the chips and dips. Way too much sodium and fat. I am no longer interested in putting that on my "free day" list.

By Thursday I was feeling upbeat. My pants and shirt were allot looser than they have been in awhile. I was also able to urinate at a public urinal for the first time in a coupe years. I had been having to drop my pants in a bathroom stall to urinate because I couldn't reach my zipper up to this point since about Fall of 2007.

I went from 31 minutes at 2.1 mph last week to 33 minutes at 2.2 mph this week. I'm almost up to a mile and a quarter now.
