Exercise update: With three days to go to the triathlon, I opted for low impact cardio. I spent 42 minutes on the elliptical at the Y and went just over 3 miles. This was easier on my troubled foot and I don't think I'm losing much by not running much this week and focusing on feeling less pain in my foot.I'm hoping to use a hotel pool to swim a little in tomorrow night.
I also braved the heat and took my dog for a 15 minute walk. Swampy....hopefully we catch a weather break on Saturday. Looks dicey for thunderstorms.
Nutrition update: Back on myfooddiary.com... So far I'm within my limits today even with the donuts a co-worker brought. Donuts are my greatest weakness, without compare. I added them in and balanced with a lighter lunch and some exercise. I even used a measuring cup at dinner to make sure how many servings of tortellini I had. It was 2.5 cups by the way. I have 211 calories to spare before bed and might have ice cream or something else.
Time to re-stock the yogurt, that seems to meet my sweets needs on occasion and Men's Health says weight losers eat yogurt:)
Random Musings: I hopped on the scale this morning and it was significantly lighter than my depressing Tuesday. I've still gained over the last few weeks, but it was just depressing not suicidally depressing...
I'm traveling the next two days for work, so I may or may not have blog entries. It will be a challenge as always to make sure I don't overeat. Sometimes an all day meeting can leave you feeling mentally exhausted and you think you actually need food to replenish your imaginary calorie burn. I'm also going to be smart about socializing with my colleagues from around the state. Being social does not require overeating and beer.
So, if I don't write between now and Saturday, hope for good health and good weather. Hopefully it's the shortest triathlon I'll do for several years:) After all it's Olympic Tri or die and olympic is still a few goals away.
