Eating Intuitively

I’ve been pretty bad at tracking my daily progress with my healthy eating and exercise plan over the last week, but the good news is that I still did pretty well over the last week by eating well and exercising.

Here is a recap of the week.

Monday:  I got on the bike at 5am, and it felt great.  I felt so good getting it out of the way for the day.  I also ate fairly well.

Tuesday:  I got on the bike again at 5am.  With two days on the exercise under my belt, I was feeling really good.  I basically followed my diet fairly well.

Wednesday:  Three days in a row!  I got on the bike again.  I’m on my way!  It was also another day of good eating.

Thursday:  Four days riding the recumbent bike.  I’m really back on track.  I ate fairly well again.

Friday:  I did not get on the bike.  I still felt good about my accomplishment of four days on the bike.  Eating got a little hairy, because I made a trifle for my mother’s birthday.

Saturday:  I started at the new gym finally.  I walked there and back.  I had to get oriented to the new gym.  I did a few exercises, but I didn’t do it to the level I had before. 

I didn’t eat so well on Saturday.  I went to Outback Steakhouse.  I had rack of lamb, sweet potato, and broccoli for my dinner.  I also enjoyed some bread and some of the bloomin’ onion.  Of course, I ate some of the trifle I made, too.

Sunday:  I followed the NutriSystem Select plan, but I did no exercise.

Today:  I was still sore from the gym on Saturday…really sore, so I did not get on the recumbent bike.  I did my best to stick to my healthy eating plan.  I think I’ll be able to get back on the bike tomorrow.

I think it was a pretty good week to get back on track.  I feel I had lost sight of my goal a little bit, and I want to get things moving again.  I still have at least 70 pounds to lose, and I am ready to do it.
