Day 79 -- 9 March 2009

I haven't posted for the past couple of days because I haven't been a very good girl. As I admitted in my last post, I already broke my diet and it was only the 2nd day!! I was really bad on Saturday too because we went to another Italian restaurant and I had pasta and lots of bread :o( We ran errands from about 8:30 am until 5 pm and we stopped for a late lunch. I could have been good and gotten a salad but I didn't. To make matters worse, I didn't get on the treadmill Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I did eat well Sunday night though. Shane made salmon and we had brown rice and mixed steamed veggies with it. Granted, the rice isn't allowed in phase 1 of the diet but at least it was a much healthier dinner than Thursday or Saturday. I can't remember for the life of me what we had for dinner Friday night. Something tells me it wasn't very healthy though. I did a good job of following the diet today but I ate a few forbidden foods for dinner. We went out to eat to celebrate my graduation today from TRSi. I did get on the treadmill tonight though and I walked at 2.2 mph and burnt 197 calories. I have to say even though I haven't been following my diet very well the exercise is starting to pay off. When I weighed myself at the beginning of this journey I was 147 pounds. I weighed myself this morning just for giggles and I am down to 145.8. It's not a whole lot I know but at least I have lost a little over a pound :O) Just think what I can do if I keep exercising and actually stick to the diet!!
