Today was a good day. I went to my workout class this morning. It was supposed to be Zumba, but the instructor's son was sick, so we ended up doing aerobics/kickboxing again. Turns out I was right about yoga being switched to Wednesdays. I'm not sure if I'm going to go to those. Anyway, I also did day 4 of my two October challenges (20 triceps dips, and a rest day for abs).
My eating wasn't great to start out with. I had half a granola bar before the workout -- we were running late, as usual, and I only had a couple in my bag so I split one with my daughter. At least I had my water bottle. I had a serving of saltine crackers when I got home, and then got caught up crafting until I had to go run errands. We went to Costco, and I got lots of fruits and veggies. I love Costco produce. It's always delicious. But my weakness is their gelato. Three scoops for $1.50? Count me in. Except this time, I decided to show some self-restraint. Some. I still got a gelato cone, but I gave one scoop to each of my daughters and then just had the one scoop of pistachio gelato that was left. I think I'm finally learning that being healthy isn't about deprivation, but moderation. We went over to our friends' house for dinner and had pretzel crusted chicken with honey mustard sauce. It was absolutely fabulous. But I only had one piece, and loaded up on green beans. There were cookies for dessert and I let myself have one, but that was it. I just got a big glass of water when I started craving another cookie. I snacked on some pineapple, raspberries, and grape tomatoes later in the evening.
I can do this! I don't have to cut out dessert, I just need to have it in moderation. I can still enjoy the sweet things in life, without going overboard.
