(Please don't mind my ugly toes and ugly paint job :)
Well, I did it yesterday! Like I said, I picked out the health(ier) choice from the vending machine for breakfast. For lunch I had a Chinese Chicken Salad (very fresh) from the local deli with a low fat oriental vinaigrette; I also had a ciabatta roll. Then after work, I looked at another YMCA location schedule and saw that BodyStep was at 5:30 (rather than the TurboKick - which I don't like too much). So I went there and did an hour of BodyStep.
Earlier in the day I made a meal plan for the week, so I went to the grocery store right after BodyStep. $100 later (ugh, shoot me now), I went home and had a yogurt because I was starving. I then made dinner (a frozen pasta dish) and put together my salad of the week, along with other snacks for today and packed my lunch. It was a good night, and I came out with a deficit (after the workout AND before the workout). My allowance is 1462 calories, I ate 1446, and burned 450. I came out with a net of 996. That's a little low, I know. So I'll certainly be more conscious of my deficit/net. And since yesterday was kind of a "fly by the seat of my pants" sort of day, it was a little more difficult.
But I'm so proud of myself. I didn't plan, but I made sure to make healthy, conscious choices throughout the day! Now today I have my planned lunch and snacks here. =) For breakfast I had a Dashing Dish shake (chocolate/PB), for snack I have some cantaloupe and string cheese, lunch is a September Salad (more on that later), and for my afternoon snack I have popcorn (TJ's Organic with sea salt and Olive Oil).
Here's to taking it one day at a time!! =)
