Out to dinner

Another Friday and another day where I tend to think more about food as I know Friday’s usually let me down in term’s of food and drink.

However this week I am prepared and determined to not go over my calories (or if I do not by many) so I woke up a hour early, dragged myself out of bed and into the living room for 45minutes of *joy* with Jillian Michaels Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism. I’m a little proud of myself for managing to do this and unlike last time I didn’t end up hating the workout. Though after Turbo Jam I wish Jillian would get better music! I find the music a little uninspiring which makes it hard sometimes, Turbo Jam has great music whereas JM has not such great music, not bad just not great.

I do enjoy the Banish Fat workout, it’s separated into warm up then 7 segments and then cool down. Each move is repeated twice so a segment is generally 5 moves repeated twice which I like as you get to know it so second time around you can get into it. Also I enjoy that it’s not the same thing over and over so I know if I hate one particular segment it’ll be over soon.

After my strength workout on Wednesday my thighs have been burning so all day at work every time I sat down I’d be in pain, but at least I know I’ve been working hard.

I’m catching up with a friend for dinner so we can catch up and I’ve looked up the menu and decided what I’m having before I go to make sure it’s something healthy and I won’t get there and panic about what to eat. I tend to take ages deciding what to have while eating out so it’s also a time saving device!

Eating so far is going well, writing this while I’m at home after work helps me not eat everything between work and dinner. I also made jelly which helped as it’s something but not really substantial enough for me to worry about calories.

So far all is good, exercise is done, blog posted, eating going well.

Let’s hope it stays that way through dinner!
