Tuesday, Week 21

Last night had the potential for disaster food-wise. We left work a bit late, and I wanted to get started on my homemade mashed potato creation. Plus, I knew the meat would take 30 minutes to cook, so I didn't want to be eating too late. So, I decided to eat before my run.


I was feeling like really relaxing and indulging during dinner, so I had a glass of wine with my meal. After that, I really felt like a rich dessert. Luckily, we don't really have anything like that in the house. Or, I thought about having more wine. But, I figured I would wait a bit and watch some tv. I wanted to catch up on Desperate Housewives. I made some Oolong tea (which helps with digestion), and had that while I watched tv. There was definitely a cross-roads last night. I barely had the motivation to get dressed to do my run. I went to see my husband, and he said that the was just finishing up his video game. He was thinking of going out to get dessert and then watch tv downstairs. That idea sounded absolutely perfect to me. And, I came so close to going that way. But, something clicked in my head that I was already off track for the day, but I didn't have to make it worse. I could get back on track right now. So, I went downstairs and did my run. After that, I didn't feel like having dessert or anything else to eat. Perhaps it was the endorphines kicking in. Or maybe it was psychological, seeing the number of calories burned on the treadmill. Regardless, it got me back on track for the night.

Today I'm going to go easy on the calories, and I'm going to eat cleanly - lots of veggies with dinner. Plus, I have my ice skating class, so that will get me out of the house, and I'll be less tempted.
