on track

i'm happy to say that i'm on track with my exercise so far this week. yes, it's only tuesday... but it still counts!! i had my workout with my trainer yesterday & walked with the pup last night. today i'm super sore from the workout, but still managed to make it to the gym for my intervals. i hope those start getting easier... but easier or not, i'm going to keep at it!

food has been good as well. but i'm starting to wonder if i'm the only one who has a go to menu. i eat the same thing from breakfast pretty much every day... and i enjoy it. lunch during the work week is the same... even the weekly lunch out with friends is the same. weekend lunches are a bit of a crap shoot, because i tend to forget to plan for them... but i'm working on that. dinner is where i have the most variety, but lately that's changed. the husband doesn't eat fish, and after a wicked bout of the stomach flu (with onset post chicken dinner) he's off chicken too. there's only so much i can do with beef, so i've come up with my go to dinner. and looking back at my food last week, i had 3 days that were virtually identical... and yesterday & today are repeats, too. i'm eating foods that i enjoy and i'm feeling satisfied... but is it a bad thing to be eating the same things all the time??

i still haven't pulled out my response & advantage cards... i really need to get back on that. thankfully, i haven't really NEEDED them, so yay for me feeling good!

and since yesterday was official weigh in day, i was down 1 lb when i got on the scale this morning. that's fine... i'm expecting february to be a good month!
