Oh, this day can really challenge every notion of being healthy. So instead of resisting, I'm giving in.
With conditions.
It's been a tough week in general with adopting a new diet (no meat 'til Thanksgiving), visiting companies bringing snacks to the office, co-workers asking if I want treats, etc. I have been good, and therefore will allow myself to indulge a little.
This morning I had my green shake and a banana to help get me on the right track after a 20 minute workout (run/walk interval and squats) and some tricep dips. I also finished off a cup of water and will continue to sip from my thermal the rest of the day.
For lunch, I'm going to go for a walk and grab a quinoa salad. This is after having (1) fun size peanut M&Ms (as close to healthy candy as I can get), (1) fun size Snickers (I'm a sucker for it), and (1) sour apple straw (not the best choice, but breaks up the chocolate monotony), in addition to a small brownie and some tortilla chips with salsa. I now have a red velvet cupcake staring me down at my cubicle and I don't know what to do with it.
I want it and I don't want it. All I can think of is how much I want to workout and kill time until a Halloween party later tonight. So here is my gameplan:
- I can eat maybe 1/3-1/2 of this cupcake and throw it away
- As soon as I can get out of my TMNT costume (I'm Donatello), off to run again and finish my dips along with other exercises (abs and hips day)
- Avoid candy at the party. I will wreck havoc on the veggie platter though!
- Keep myself to a 1-2 drink(s) limit and drink LOTS of water
- Not weigh myself tomorrow :P
I would love to hear your plans for this spooky ocassion!
