HHC ~ W1D3

I didn't do a great job with my challenge goals on Wednesday, I'm sensing a pattern here...  I'm trying to decide if I'm being too hard on myself, Angela seems to think so, it's like I have totally lost my willpower.  My days start out great but by the end I'm a big old mess!

After reading the prompt for Wednesday, to eat 5 servings of veggies, I knew just how to start the day.  I added 2 cups of raw spinach to my morning shake.

I planned on buying my lunch in the cafeteria at work because I normal yogurt, apple & pretzels contains no veggies.  My original plan was to get a salad but after fining out Joe was making salad for dinner I had to change plans...a girl can only take so much lettuce.  My next idea was a BLT but somehow I ended up ordering the daily special of grilled corned beef...  The sandwich was delicious but at 690 calories it was a splurge, I told myself I'd only eat half but when I looked down the whole thing was gone...  I told myself that I could knock out 690 calories at the gym and with the light dinner Joe had planned I'd be home free.

When I left work I was greeted by a lovely surprise, SNOW!  We rarely get snow in South Jersey especially this early in the season.  I took a picture of myself in the car before I headed to the gym and the comments on Facebook were so funny, some people cursing the snow, others celebrating.

I didn't let the storm sway me from the gym though.  I got there a little early and did 20 minutes on the elliptical before meeting up with Sarah. 

I was already sore from Monday's session with Ali and told Sarah as much.  She did a great job working other muscle groups and trying interesting new exercises.  At one point I was walking the track on my hands while she held my feet like a wheelbarrow.

The drive home took longer then usual because of the weather and I was starving when I walked in the door.  Joe was just finishing up preparing dinner so I helped myself to some cheese and crackers while I waitied. 

I just couldn't stop eating all night long.  I was getting dangerously close to my calorie limit but kept right on snacking.  I seriously need to get the sweets out of my house.  I had a fun size package of whoppers, a piece peppermint bark and finished the night with a hot chocolate.  In an attempt to salvage my day I finished up the mini circuit.  During my session with Sarah I had done 40 push ups and 30 sit ups so all I had to do at home was 10 push ups, 20 sit ups and the 50 jumping jacks, no sweat.

Unfortunately I didn't do enough. 

• Water: I had 56 oz and planned on drinking the last 8 upstairs before bed but I got distracted and forgot.
• Healthy Eats: I was 3 calories over my limit, 3 measley calories.
• Exercise: 60 minutes total.
• Weekly Focus - Food Log: completed.
• Daily Challenge - 5 servings of veggies - I think I got about 3.
• Extra Torture I'm Inflicting Upon Myself - I was not perfect, I did the circuit, I did not get 5 servings...
