Awesome Workout!

I was rather dreading my workout today.  I don’t know why I keep feeling that way when afterwards, I always feel terrific.  I need to remember how I feel when I’m finished and hold on to that feeling.  Yay for endorphins!

I was weighed again today.  I only lost 1 pound this past week, but at least I’m moving in the right direction.  I missed 2 workouts though, so it’s my own fault.  But I’m determined to get back into the swing of things.

My meals have been really good.  I had that minor slip-up last week with the Halloween candy and the PMS tootsie rolls, but other than that — I’ve been awesome.  I’ve been taking my nutritionist’s advice and keeping fruit and veggies handy to snack on.  I’ve also been incorporating some form of protein into every snack or meal.

After I go to the grocery store, I cut up melons and stick the pieces in a glass bowl covered with plastic wrap.  I put several toothpicks in the pieces so it’s easy to snack on.  I think the preparation time is a big reason that people don’t eat more fruit.  It’s much faster and easier to grab a bag of chips than to wash and peel or cut up a piece of fruit.

I’ve also taken to washing grapes and leaving them in a bowl on the counter.  My entire family ends up munching on them instead of the less healthy items.

It all comes down to visibility and convenience.
