Well, being away from home this past few days had it's downsides in the eating arena. No, I didn't go to McDonald's and order two Big Mac's and a large french fries. I did slip a bit, though. I mentioned in yesterday's post about my meal at the Autism conference. Today, I was pretty limited at breakfast. The conference did a very poor job of providing food, and therefore the lines were horribly long and the food was horribly scarce. What I ended up with this morning was some dry piece of yellow "cake". So I had that and coffee. For lunch, Wendy and I skipped the ling lines and went to Spaghetti Works. I had a salad and a plate of spaghetti with regular red sauce. Oh, and did I mention the piece of garlic bread? On the way back to the conference we stopped at the Cookie Factory and shared a chocolate chip. They are pretty big, but I would say my half was a little bigger than a cookie you'd get at Subway. Tonight, we went to our hometown mexican place and I had chips and salsa along with my typical chicken taco salad with no sour cream or guacamole. I did, however, eat half of the salad shell (I usually don't eat any of it). I should have had the talapia with steamed vegetables I've had before. But I talked myself into something else that wasn't as healthy. Shame on me!
Not horrible, right? Could have been a lot worse, right? Right! However, I don't eat that way anymore. This was a regression (slight or not) to the way I was before I changed nearly 6 weeks ago. And, as I've said in prior posts, I'm susceptible to increased regression if I give even an inch of slack. Therefore, I'm upset about it but I will not let it affect my resolve. Tomorrow I'll be back to my "new" way of eating. The healthy way.
On to the workouts. Pretty standard for me. I'm trying to use some heavier weights where my logs show things may have been a bit too easy. For some reason, the first exercise (the Balance Lunge with the chair) has been tough for me. I have a hard time getting the non-chair leg out far enough so that when I lunge my knee isn't too far over the foot. It's hard to keep my balance.
For Ab Ripper, I had 290 tonight, which is 2nd best to Wednesday's total of 295. I really struggle with Crunchy Frog. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it easier, please let me know. My biggest issue is I tend to want to lean back too far with my chest and I think that makes it tougher. Other than that, things seem to be getting a little easier. Still need better form across the board.
Kenpo tomorrow!
Dan
