If you fail, try again and start fresh!

It was another day of diet failure. I made a lasagna and of course wanted to eat some for dinner.  I did have only 3 almonds for breakfast and a salad for lunch. I also had a glass of red wine with dinner and a few after dinner chocolate kisses. Snacking was at least some low calorie popcorn and not much of it. 

If I failed yesterday at my diet, start fresh today. I woke up hungry so three almonds are not going to do it. I had my PB bread so I wouldn't be starving all morning. We ate up the lasagna so at least I won't be tempted by that any more! Maybe skip lunch and just have my veggie soup for dinner. Time to wake up tomorrow with weight loss from my efforts today! Wouldn't that be nice!

Zoey is off to the groomers this afternoon. She is a furry beast at the moment. I'll have to take an after photo.

My daily exercises are going great! I added in 30 second side planks Right/left. Still not doing my exercises two times a day, but I'm getting back in the habit of just doing my exercises every day and I have yet to do as much as I use to for planking. I was doing 2 minutes at a time of bent and straight arms planks, 1 minute each side plank times two. I have a ways to go to double what I'm doing now!

My afternoon plans are to bike while Zoey is at the groomer and lift weights at the gym. It's just down the road from the groomer so this should be easy to follow through.

I am looking forward to spring when I can bike outdoors and hopefully start running again after my heal appointment tomorrow morning. It will be nice to know exactly what is going on with my heal!

Making changes, one step at a time.

Upping

I'm upping my goals this week. Going for a 1 to 5 pound weight loss!
Doing my daily planks 7 days instead of 6 this week.
Adding side planks to my daily exercises
Biking daily going for 30 minutes
Fasting till my early dinner around 4pm daily.
Pre-planning dinners so I stay on track!

I always stay tomorrow I start fresh! Well, Sunday was a big breakfast day. It sure keeps you full all day long but I just don't like breakfast that much to do this very often. I'm good with skipping breakfast. I'm starting my week off like I did last week, with 3 almonds at breakfast. I only eat almonds if I take Advil because my back is killing me and with a 1/2 caffeine, because I don't drink coffee. I need that little pick me up in the morning.

 My plan is to work each day, go bike for 30 minutes then do some taxes this week. Trying to go for 7 days in a row. Starting a new habit. Just need to bring gym clothes to change into when I'm done working to stop me from going home and sitting on the couch! I do feel like I need a break after working, but then I never get up after and I'm done for the day. I need to start changing this pattern once again and just keep moving 30 minutes longer. Its not a lot of extra time or moving so this shouldn't be too hard to convince myself to do this daily! Right?

No diet but a donut run!

Steve wanted to go to Mojo Monkey this morning. They were closed since the 1st for new store changes. We were really disappointed. The customer area shrunk so only two tables to sit at, the donut counter is still small and cramped. They did make their baking area much larger. So much for the new changes! 

The donuts are far too sweet. The dough and toppings. I love sugar but this is over kill. I think we thought that the last time we got donuts. The prices have also gone up. We paid close to $14 dollars for 4 dounts! This is our last visit. If I want a donut, Cub foods has good ones and better yet, wait till Grand Marais for the Worlds Best Donut shop! I'm all about light lemon with a dusting of confectioners sugar. By far my favorite little donut!

Thankfully, we shared all the dounts and I only ate maybe one total. Not a great diet plan but better then eating two.

I had all these plans to get my taxes done or a good chunk done for our businesses. I have tons of receipts to enter into a spread sheet and total up for our accountant. I'd like to be done sooner then later! I took about a two hour nap. Not sure why I was so wiped out.

I am finally getting my eye lashes refreshed. I need them now! I also did find the energy to vacuum our house and make a lasagna for dinner tonight. Exciting Saturday plans! Not!
