Another day another check in. Sorry I'm a little late today; I wanted to get a workout in before I posted this time. I'll try to do better tomorrow! In the spirit of full accountability I have a confession: I did not end up doing my workout last night. Between the raid and monster hunting, it just got to be too late. So I only got about half of my daily step goal. And my husband was in charge of cooking dinner. He decided to make pasta which I did not have the calories for. Despite that, I logged it. 1702, ok, not terrible, but when I only had half my usual step count I was getting into that mindset that I'd screwed up the day and was going to be up on the scale again this morning. I had those slices of tiramisu cake sitting in my fridge that I had a really strong urge to say screw it and go eat one. But I didn't. And guess what? I woke up this morning and half a pound down, back to 137.6! If I'd had that slice of cake I probably wouldn't be able to say that. So there you have it everyone: a lesson that it really does pay off to not just give up completely because of one or two setbacks.
Today I was back to dominating my goals. Currently at 14190 steps after a nice 5.5 km jog and I have plenty of time to get those last 810 steps in before bed. Calories are logged to be 1445 including a slice of that tiramisu cake that I wanted so much yesterday :D My main excitement for the day was my husband and I made homemade tomato sauce from scratch (starting from actual fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomato sauce and paste). We're going to keep some for ourselves and give a small jar to my in-laws and a friend of my husband's. In exchange, the in-laws gave us some yummy looking lentil stew and the friend is going to give us some curry, so all in all it's going to be a fun few days of culinary adventures! Now if only that job would get back to me; they said they hoped to get back to me by Thursday at the latest so I've spent the last two days jumping every time I get an email notification on my phone expecting it's going to be a rejection email and hoping against hope I'll get a phone call saying I actually did get the job.
I realized I forgot my final goal yesterday, the gratitude, so today will be a double feature to make up for it.
First, I'm grateful for my health. This has been a year of a lot of health challenges, both expected and unexpected, on both my side of the family and my husband's. There have also been a couple unexpected deaths of people we know. So right now I am keenly aware that being alive and able-bodied is a blessing I should never take for granted because it could change at any time.
Second, I am grateful for my friends in my Elder Scrolls Online guild. They're really a fantastic bunch. Fun to talk and play with, compassionate and supportive, and so patient when they have to res my noob butt for the 20th time because I didn't dodge the boss's attack.
How about all of you? Weekend going well? Going off the rails on a crazy train? Tell us all about it!
