Today is day five of my attempts of portion control and healthy living. This week, I managed to work out 3 times, but I think my body is telling me to give it a break. I mentioned in a previous post that I've had a hard time this year with muscle soreness in my hip area and that has definitely been an issue this week. Mind you, batting and running all use hip muscles. I may have to limit myself to two softball practices a week. Ugh hips.
Portion control hasn't been too bad. I thought it would be harder. Now, I am not aiming for ridiculously low calories, I figure I'm running between 1600 and 2000. It's better than what I was doing, which I think was probably more like 3000 calories, I fear. I did not lose any weight last few weeks, possibly gained some (depends on my cycle I guess). I always try to weight myself on the third or fourth day of my cycle so that I'm at my low weight. Amazing how the body holds on the water weight.
Today, though, I really want a mocha and a pastry, but now is not the right time for it. It doesn't help that three days this week, while walking to Safeway to buy lunch, I've walked by the new Starbucks coconut mocha. Looks really, really good. *sigh* Oh well.
How are you all doing?
No self-control. Go to work at 'Pigs R Us'.
