Thirty-four minutes on the elliptical machine today, plus a toning routine. I really like the way I feel when I do the toning routine. Like, "Yay muscles!" to put it very inarticulately. I did a new routine today, to spice things up, and it was pretty hard, but it was also fun to try and master the new moves.
I feel, like, twenty times better about my eating today than yesterday. Everything I made was so tasty, and I got in loads of fruit and veggies. The awesomest thing, though? During dinner, after eating about half my chicken and all my squash stuff, I realized I didn't want any more. So, despite the undeniable tastiness of my chicken and dipping sauce, I STOPPED. And I put away the rest of that chicken to eat tomorrow. Will probably go fantastically well in a wrap with a heap of romaine.
Also, the chocolate? Was one of the most heavenly things I've ever had in my mouth. Sweets taste so fricking much better since I stopped eating them all day long.
Angel, that's a horribly long time without a break. I get another two days off next month, but since one of them is already my day off and the other is my short day…well, it's not much of a break.
