Quite pleased with the day! All things considered, it went very well and I am extremely proud of the work I put in.
I felt really, really bad most of the day. I was very tired, very achy, felt extremely bloated and uncomfortable, and was mentally somewhat lower than is my norm. It was a “curl up on the couch with a half-gallon of Ben & Jerry’s, a six-pack of Dr. Pepper, a bag of chips, and the remote” kind of day…not that I would have the luxury of indulging that anyway, having had to work, but definitely not a “work really hard and exercise self-control with eating” kind of day!
But I did it. Dinner wasn’t perfect – I discovered that if I am going to have a turkey burger, someone else is going to have to make the patties…UGH – but it was all right. I made my patty with a very small amount of meat, and I always use the leanest beef you can buy anyway, so not too shabby. I also only ate a few fries, which were actually baked, so not too bad there either. Combined with the rest of the day, and considering the level of effort I put forth in exercise, I am very pleased with my own performance.
I am always proudest of my “good days” when they are so hard to achieve, because I have never been very skilled at making myself do things I don’t want to do. So when I manage it, I am very happy. This was one of those days.
