Tonight, food won

Today was a good workout day, but food won out in the end. I began day two of P90X with hope, but was unable to complete the entire hour of Plyometrics. I had a solid half hour in before I felt I couldn't go on. But, I did succeed in supplementing my workout with a 2+ mile walk. That got me a decent calorie burn, as well as a nice full body workout.

Now, for food... I did fine during the day. My lunch was sensible - two cheese and ham rolls, omitting the bread again. Dinner was an awesomely filling  salad, including not only spinach and tomatoes, but also sweet peppers and cucumbers. I even allowed myself a treat of a sugar free ice cream sandwich. But, things turned down hill around 10pm, when sleep had yet to prevail and water was no longer filling my stomach. Insert turkey sandwich on some special Sarah Lee, Omega 3 bread (very tasty!) with a slice of muenster and spinach. Then, my husband made bacon. My major weakness... warm, crisp, slightly gooey, bacon. Maple smoked bacon. Three slices later, I am lying in bed, watching Robot Chicken, thinking of my favorite line from the producers: "You're a fatty fat fat fat!"

Tonight, I am a fatty fat fat. Tomorrow, I will try harder, and incorporate added workouts to help make up for this lapse. I won't be able to walk in the evening, but the morning will be open.

On a non-diet related note, my current reading of "Misfortune" by Wesley Stace in dragging on. It's not that the story isn't interesting, but the style of this one is definitely lacking compared to "By George", penned by the same author. Also, I have to finish the special knitted present I am working on, when that occurs, I will post pictures. As of now, it is sitting on the needles, the sad partner in an unfinished pair waiting to be ended and bound off. I am creating this pattern from scratch, which is exciting. The next project after this will be a very advantageous baby blanket, which I hope I will have the money to purchase the yarn for eventually.

I am hoping to be employed soon. I have two writing gigs to "audition" for, and training starts on Monday for the online teaching gig.  The extra income will be nice, and make buying healthy food much easier. It's sad that it's cheaper to buy processed foods than it is to buy fresh fruit and veggies. So the world we live in...

I guess on that note... more to come, I am surprised that I actually managed two posts this week. GO ME!


Tomorrow, I will NOT be a fatty fat fat. Tomorrow, I will not let the food win. I shall also knit, and watch "The Queen." I will also complete the P90X workout entirely, arms and abs I think.
