Workout
The level 2 aerobic workout took 38 minutes, right in line with Tony’s estimate. I added a 25 minute walk/run on the treadmill. The calorie burn for the workout was moderate.
Nutrition
Back to healthier habits today, or so I thought… Last night I was asking myself why I felt like I needed to indulge so much. One one hand, being healthy is not about depriving myself. On the other hand, in order to feel and look my best, I have to eat healthy food equivalent to 80 or 90 percent of my reasonable calorie intake for the day. That might mean I can have a small dessert, or a larger meal, but I can’t make the less healthy choice every time.
Unfortunately for my resolve, today a co-worker brought in her 50th birthday cake. So I had cake, again. I made sure the rest of my meals and snacks kept me at a slight calorie deficit for the day. This is not the way it’s supposed to be.
Health and well-being
I didn’t sleep as long as I wanted to last night, but I did get through a workout plus some extra things I needed to do around the house, and still got out the door to work at a reasonable time. My mid-afternoon coffee was not as much of a crutch as I expected, because I was pretty alert. Maybe that’s progress? Or maybe it was just too much sugar.
