No Scale Monday (Hello Week 3!)
Well, had a bit of a bender weekend - and my eating went out of the window, so to speak! Here's why:
On Friday afternoon, I got home from work and found out that my grandmother had begun feeling ill that day, and had been taken to the ER at her local hospital because she couldn't walk, was feeling pretty ill. Needless to say, mum and I zoomed over there at 3:30 and were at her side until she had been admitted for tests. We left the hospital at 11pm, got home at 11:45pm. McDonalds in tow. Blargh. (What else is open that late? We sure as hell weren't cooking!)
On Saturday I ate well in the daytime, but went to the movies in the evening with a friend from work. We ordered a pizza while we were there (yes, we were in gold class again!!) and thought it would be gourmet - turned out to be a "bake at home" in the oven style pizza. Ate three pieces of that, as well as a few handfuls of popcorn and some maltesers. Naughty, naughty.
Fast forward to our night out on Saturday - a frozen strawberry daiquiri, a jim beam & coke, and two smirnoff ice vodkas later, I think my calories went through the roof. Washing it down with McDonalds hotcakes the morning after, as well as popcorn and M&M's at the Sydney vs Melbourne netball grand final didn't help.
Phew. Did I mention I've not exercised since Thursday? Great week, eh?
Ah well. I could have eaten a LOT worse, I suppose. But it's back on today. Aside from a few leftover M&M's, it's been good. Am back on track!
Food eaten today - 2x Weetbix, WW peaches in jelly, Fruche light yoghurt, banana sandwich, handful of M&M's, plain spaghetti pasta w/ lite cheese for dinner.
Exercise done today - 30 minutes total. Ran for 8 minutes, walked for 2. Ran for another 8 minutes, walked for 2. Finally ran for the last ten minutes. Running total: 26 minutes. Walking total: 4 minutes. I did stretch my workout out a lot today, with about six pauses in between (around every 5 minutes or so) because I have a VERY painful shin. Horrid splints. Just when I think I've got rid of them, they return! Gasp!
