Fitblrpush day 16: Food log and diary
I've fallen off of the wagon as far as logging and doing the assignments. I still ate mostly healthy.
I've been not feeling well and just not up to it lately.
Monday:
Breakfast: egg cup with approx. 1 egg, 1 sausage link, two tater tots, and some red grapes.
Lunch: Chicken salad (left over chicken breast with way too much mayo that I really regret, carrots, onion, celery, and grapes)
Dinner: Beef stew without the beef or barley. So mostly carrots and broth.
Snacks: I wanted something sweet so I binged and ate almost half of a cup of mini m&ms. Luckily it was the only slip up I've had since last week.
Exercise: I have a huge exam tomorrow afternoon, so I hopped on the treadmill for about 20 minutes to clear my head. I pushed myself and ran at 5 mph for about 4 minutes. To some, that doesn't seem like anything, but it's a huge accomplishment for me and I'm extremely proud of myself.
Assignment:
What’s something you miss doing? Why did you stop doing it?
Reading. I love reading. I really only read for fun during the summer, because my volunteering and school don't get in the way. Over the summer I read about 20 books each averaging about 300 pages. It was beautiful. I really just can't find time because I'm one of those people where if I sit down with a book I need to be able to shut the world out and just read for hours. I can't really do that when I have school.
Who is supportive of your health journey?
If I told people, they would. My parents are kind of weird about it. They hint that I'm overweight and need to drop a few pounds but when I actually do it they're like "Why are you checking diet books out of the library etc. etc. etc" So I just don't tell them. My friends are also really weird about it. They don't really know, other than the people who follow me on tumblr who I know irl, and I've gotten some weird remarks about it. It kind of makes me mad because I'm trying to be healthy and people are just poking fun at me.
Is there anyone who discourages your health journey?
A few select friends that don't want to see me succeed. I'm not going to stay overweight so you can look better than me in pictures. I'm not here to make you look skinny.
