Yesterday was GREAT!

What a freakin on par eating day -- I wound up at 1303 cals for the day.  And I made it to the gym!!!  

And this happened!

Yep -- 675 cals burned on the elliptical and then I did about 15 minutes of weights.  The sweat was pouring off me and it felt great.  I'm hoping to get back to the gym tonight too!  So yesterday between the elliptical and what my fit bit synced otherwise, it put me at over 1100 calories burned. Nice!!

It's amazing how different you feel when you're eating good foods compared to bad foods.  Bad foods just seem like poison.  Poison hidden in amazing tasting goodness.  But you get down, sad, tired, lazy and just wind up eating more poison because - well, why not, right?  I don't think I could ever totally cut out the "bad stuff" but at least if I'm consciously making better choices and striving to do my best it won't hurt me so bad.  :)  So my food is logged for today and things look good except my sodium.  That's kinda off the charts.  That's because I'm having soup for lunch.  But I'll keep up on my water and hopefully just flush it all out.  Progresso's French Onion soup is only 100 cals for the whole can.  I'm going to melt a 60 cal cheese stick on it too so it'll be semi like the real deal. 

Dinner will be steamed broccoli and leftover turkey breast tenderloin.  Yum!!  I wanted to weigh so bad this morning...well, kinda...but I didn't.  I need to wait at least another day.  I need to remember I did eat/drink SUPER poorly over the weekend. Give it a few days of awesome to get the good numbers back!!  After yesterday though, I feel like I can totally get my 4% this week!!  I'll see what reality says next time I get on the scale, but I'm feeling good!!  

Hope everyone has a great day.  I really appreciate you guys taking time to read about my struggles and successes and always being there for me :)
