UGH Food.

Happy Tuesday!
I went to the gym this morning and did the Tuesday (arm) workout.. arm day is my favorite day. :)  I went by myself again this morning (fail Lauren!) but that's okay, I'm happy I made it!  AND I made it at 5 instead of 5:30 this morning!  I decided I need to start going earlier because Branden will be going to work between 8-9am and I need to make sure I have an ample amount of time to get myself ready, cook breakfast and get sweet Nora ready!  I woke up at 4 this morning.. that was really damn early.  I'm sure I'll be ready for bed by 8 tonight (nothing new there!) but I am hoping to get some extra exercise in tonight while the weather is still nice!  One of my favorite parts about the spring/early summer is taking walks with Nora!  The weather was great last night so we went on a walk with Lauren and her little girl, Taylor.

I'm getting to a maybe not-so-good place in my lifestyle change.  I tend to take things to the extreme and once I see things start to work, then I figure.. well, if I do it a little extra/harder/longer/whatever, I'll see better results!  So today, I don't think I've had enough to eat, but it's almost a fear that is stopping me from eating.  Listed below is what I've eaten, which may seem like a decent amount of food but for the size of my body.. it's not enough.. and I know that, but sometimes I feel like it's good to be hungry, because then you obviously don't have TOO MUCH - which is a common problem.  One of these days I'll get this nutrition issue in check.

So far today I've eaten:
Breakfast:
Chocolate Protein Shake w/ Skim Milk
3/8 WW Bagel w/ lowfat butter substitute (gave Nora 1/4 of my 1/2 bagel)

Snack:
Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt w/ berries and 2 grahams

Lunch:
Apple w/ Pnut Butter and Raisins

I think I'm going to eat some WW Pasta Salad... that will be good until dinner.  Which, as usual, is TBD.

Last night, I made WW Spaghetti w/ chicken cooked in a fire roasted tomato and garlic sauce and with Italian stewed tomatoes.  It was yummy :)  I used a small dessert plate to help with portion control, which did help! 

If Branden gets home in time tonight, I'll be going to bellydance.  If not, I'll be taking another(longer) walk with miss Nora!  Either one sounds wonderful to me!

Well, I'm off.. until tomorrow!
