Sara's Week #5: May 27- May 2 Goals and Weigh In

Steve-o,
.... Haha. I say this is our throw away week! I knew there would be one here and there because that is absolutely life but that does not mean we are quitters!

I ate pretty healthy this week. Went to Famous Dave's for dinner with the band and had some yummy grilled salmon with broccoli and grilled pineapple. Soooo gooood! Eating out doesn't have to ruin your diet and it can still taste good. Someone once told me a good piece of advice:
When you eat out, choose something just a little healthier than what you might normally get. That's it. And you're making progress. Instead of the crispy chicken BBQ salad, I opted for the salmon and it was sooooo good! Both delicious but one will make my body happier. :)
Realistically, you will likely enjoy whatever you eat at a restaurant whether it is healthy or really bad for you (and likely you will go away feeling sick if you choose the less healthy route). They are there to cook good food in general right? So focus on the less fattening meals at restaurants. You won't be disappointed in the food and you will be happier with yourself. Don't forget that this is a lifestyle change. Don't try to struggle against who you want to be. Take charge and eat what you really want to be eating for you to feel your best. It takes practice but I promise it WILL get easier. It takes time to break long-term habits but it is 100% doable with repeated practice. You can reach a point where you won't crave those unhealthy things. You will want to eat relatively healthy 90% of the time and then enjoy a treat here or there if you want (and those treats are extra good since you don't have them all the time).
Does that help at all? So try choosing something that is a bit more healthy than you would normally get. Try to eat at restaurants that have a healthier options if you have the choice (ie: KFC is not going to have many healthy options if any whereas a sub shop or even a restaurant for take-out has healthier options).

Weigh In: 127.2 (up some)

Goals
1- Complete 1 task off of To-Do list every day- I think I did this pretty well. This week was a bit crazy and a bunch of things got added to the list but I was constantly checking things off the list too.
2- Continue marathon training- EPIC FAIL; mulligan
So I didn't run at all this week. I started out sick and just recovered enough to start running right when I went out of town and I forgot my stuff! Sheesh. Dumb.
3- Practice band for 15 minutes per day- CHECK! I had to... and I did fabulous this weekend because of that goal! It really helped!

Ummm.... are we to freaking 1 month?! Did that not go by faster than ridiculous!? It's time for measurements!! You going to measure?

Goals for Sara's Week #5: May 27- May 2

Huzzah! Back on the bus kids!
