This week has been an interesting one. For one, I’ve been busy at work, thus the lack of posts. As for the plan, it’s been somewhat hit or miss, but more hits than misses.
I definitely suck at the getting up and the early. But I’ve been watching a LOT less TV (which helps me do other things in the evening) and I haven’t eaten out all week. Even for lunch. I tried out some yoga this week, and I just did a lower body workout yesterday that is killing me today – yay, sore muscles! Except when I can’t walk, which is always. It did not feel like I was really doing anything while I was doing the excercises – this one was sneaky. But I like it. I’ve eaten several servings of fruit at least once a day, I’ve had a good breakfast every day, and I’ve really enjoyed just making my own food. Last night I made zucchini cakes in the oven – sort of a fritter thing, but I baked ‘em instead of frying them. The gardens around here are positively bursting with squash-type things, so I used a gigantic zucch from one of my coworker’s gardens, and did Fiber One cereal instead of the called for bread crumbs. If I had to do it over, I would use less of the cereal – I think it works well in this, but I had too much and it is a little overpowering in the cakes. But they are good, don’t get me wrong. The zucchini is delish.
So this next week, I’m going to focus more on getting in those actual, purposeful workouts. Cleaning house and mowing the lawn burn more calories than sitting on my duff, but I am actually trying to accomplish something here beyond letting out my reluctant June Cleaver. Not that June would’ve mowed the lawn, but I’m just saying. Working out on purpose is good!
