Senior moments...

I can't believe I forgot to post yesterday! I also forgot to put on moisturizer in the morning. I am have senior moments already!

You know what it is...the time that I would normally post I am now logging my food on Sparkpeople (www.sparkpeople.com). Also yesterday I had a to-do list a mile long. I got everything accomplished except blogging!

So...where to begin. Tuesday night I went out with the "gals" to celebrate a friends birthday. We go a Mexican restaurant that has a Mariachi band. It is LOL funny. Anyway - when I went I still had a lot of calories to eat for the day but still wanted to eat well. I was going to just have a few tortilla chips but that ended up being more than I had intended. I ordered the Taco Salad with grilled chicken. It way yummy - seasoned grilled chicken on a bed of lettuce with "grilled" peppers and onions. It also had a small fried tortilla shell. I wasn't going to eat it, but I did!! I didn't eat the bottom, just the sides. And it was small. I used to work in a Mexican restuarant where the shell was HUGE!!! But I swear this one was small!

After dinner I came home tired but prepared to do my weekly put to bed dorm duty. Then I got a gift! DQ offered to do it for me. Well, a trade. I will do his tonight (Thursday) and he did mine Tuesday night. YEA! I was in bed as close to 9:00 AM as possible.

Yesterday (Wednesday) I worked on my legs. Then I jumped on the bike. I hate the bike, but I have a pain in the ball of my foot and am trying not to put too much added pressure on it. So I biked for 30 minutes. It was BORING!!! I watched the news instead of listening to my ipod.

I ate really really well yesterday. I am trying to take lots of vegetables and fresh fruit to work. I didn't take my lunch because I thought I was going out. But I didn't so I went to the dining hall and made a salad and put grilled chicken breast on it. It was a tasty treat! I have been trying to cook dinner at home so last night was a pork roast, rice and a salad.

This morning (Thursday) I am did arms and the bike again. On the bike I upped the resistance so I didn't bike as far as I did yesterday, but I also went ten minutes longer than yesterday.

I have packed my lunch again as well as my snacks. I have to have dinner in the dining hall but it is my favorite meal so that is OK. I have a plan. Dinner is marinated sirloin tips. I am going to have four tips, slice them up and put them on a salad. I am not sure what dessert is, but if it is something I like that will keep I am going to take it home and eat it tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow (Friday) I don't think I am going to the gym. Beside the fact that I have put to bed duty tonight, I am going to the gym on Saturday. I finally have an appointment with a trainer and that is Saturday morning. So I think I am going to sleep in. I was also thinking that I would wake up at 4:30 AM, weight myself and if I had LOST weight I would go back to bed. If I gained weight I would go to the gym. We'll see. Any suggestions??!!!

til tomorrow -
