I really need to learn to read a clock! I woke up panicked that my alarm didn’t go off, only to realize that the clock read 6:20, not 6:30. And what do I do? Lay back down and even snooze an extra 10 minutes. Needless to say, I had to scramble to get out of the house on time. And I didn’t even work out today! Thank God this is my last day house sitting, because I picked the wrong week to get into a routine. Next week I think will be a more accurate test of my ability to adhere to my schedule.
Rice Crispies for breakfast. I’ve come to realize that those prepackaged bowls of cereal are in the long run a waste of money. I would have saved money by buying the big box and portioning out the cereal myself. I need to find something else to eat other than cereal. Anything Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, etc (in other words, fast and easy) is out. I should be brown-bagging it anyways, save my money. Nonetheless, I went on the Subway website and got their nutritional info for their sandwiches. I feel smarter already! ;) Get this: the bread for their wraps has generally more calories, more sodium, and more fat than their regular breads! And wraps are supposed to be the healthy choice?! I’ll stick with wheat, thank you. Had a salad for lunch. I don't think I made it big enough, cuz I was still pretty hungry afterward.
Wii Fit Stats
Weight: 281.8 lbs
BMI: 40.34
I lost about 5 lbs. Overnight. Literally. Last night I weighed myself out of sheer curiosity and I was at about 288.6. This morning, I’m at 281.8, after shower, etc, but before breakfast. I think tonight I’ll reconcile Wii Fit against an actual scale. I like using the Wii. This is as much an experiment in using video games as a fitness tool as it is about the weight loss itself. If needs be, I’ll be willing to give up Wii Fit from the equation, (I’m only using it to easily track my weight at this point, and I don’t really care for My Weight Loss Coach anymore. There is such thing as too much tech. I know, “blasphemy!”) but I think My Fitness Coach is doing its job. I’m sweating when I do the workouts and my heart rate is up during it. The more I think of it, the more I think I’ll go with an online resource. Maria mentioned one on Day 0. I’ll have to check it out in more detail when I get home.
And as tired as I’ve been after my workout, I don’t feel satisfied. I really think I need another 15 minutes a day. Like I said earlier, tho, I don’t know if I can do it in the morning. As Brenda said in her comment to Day 0, maybe the morning workout isn’t for me. Maybe I need an evening workout. I’m just afraid if I put it off until the evening, I won’t do it. I found I do that a lot in lots of things, not just exercise. I usually just want to unwind. I have fewer distractions in the morning, like talking to my fiancé. (That’s a pleasant distraction, sweetheart, just to clarify!) She’s at home sleeping or getting Elizabeth ready for school in the morning. Maybe when we have our own place, we’ll be able to work out together, but in the meantime, gotta find a routine that works for my immediate needs and capabilities.
Ok, I’ve rambled enough for one day. See you tomorrow!
