Set-backs and steps forward

Admittedly, I am not a parent. But some would say my dog is my baby. If parenting is worse than being an overly-protective dog owner, then it's a good thing children are not in my future. Vega was sick last week and Wednesday -Friday nights were a lot more stress than sleep. The result was no workout Thursday or Friday, and Saturday, Sunday and Monday had "better-than-nothing" workouts.

On the upside, the food intake, while not well-tracked, has been better. I made homemade pizza for lunch one day, but only had one peice of cheese and a salad. I was also designated driver when we went out Saturday night, so my alcohol consumption has been down. No desserts and hardly any white bread products have been in my diet. And today my dinner was a potato and vegetables. I only weighed myself Saturday (150) so I am not sure where I stand in weightloss, but I am pleased with some of the lifestyle choices I have made and hope they are indicative of a change in eating habits that I can stick with.

I am headed for bed very early tonight, and have plans for a good workout tomorrow, as well as a good meal plan.

Weight: Unsure
Physical Activity: 5-mile round trip bike commute, 35 minutes on the ellptical, 3 miles walking the dog.
Calories: 1500 (I think it is probably less than this, but I make homemade pizza and had the rest for lunch today and I had to guess how to enter that into Sparkpeople.

Sounds like you've done well while facing adversity! Many people would've not only worried their heads off, but ignored exercise and gotten takeout food for convenience, to boot! Keep up the healthy habits ... and I hope Vega is back to her old self soon!
