Day 4

If I thought day 3 was bad, compared to day 4 it was a cake walk. It was a long day today. Our little girl kept waking up during the night last night, and we took turns checking in on her. Six o'clock comes early when your running low on sleep. I do have to say though that my diet seem a lot easier to follow today for some reason. A co-worker brought in cookies today that I was able to contain myself to only two. I know that is two to many, but it is the holidays and I figure I need to be moderate in my treats. The rest of the day was great. My mom even took Nichole and I out to dinner to Mimi's Cafe. Instead of ordering the Jambalaya that looked really good, I decided to order the Grilled Veggie Ciabatta...plus! Then I ordered Onion Rings...minus. The thought was there to try! I actually couldn't finish it either. I was rather surprised that I got a to go box. Portioning my meals out has helped me to be wiser in my decisions. My PT gave me a saying to post on my fridge that says, "Nothing Tastes Better Than Thin" granted I don't know what thin tastes like, nor feels like for that matter, but it has to taste better that the feeling you get when you stuff yourself at the local buffet, or when you stop exercising for a couple of weeks and start to feel groggy. I look forward to the taste of "thin".
My exercise on the other hand, not so awesome. I was able to finish it, but it wasn't without the fight of my life today. I have been alternating the eliptical with running and today was running day. Because of my workout yesterday, my legs were pretty tired, so I took it slow to start out. By the end I was feeling pretty good, but there was more punishment on the horizon. It was leg day and I had to do lunges in my routine today. By the time work was over I was done. I had had enough. My legs completely were and still are exhausted. Hopefully they will be some what ok for tomorrow. I don't know what I am going to do, but I'll figure it out when I get there.
