Snowed in from church today. We slept in. My dd treated us to a lovely breakfast of french toast and fresh fruit salad. Yum! Our day was so restful, but some of our lazing around brought back some bad habits. It didn't take long for the munchies to set in with all that hangin' out. That's when the Shovelin' began--chips n' salsa with diet pepsi. Not only that, but our lunch was made up of lazy food, hot dogs, sweet beans, french fries from a bag, and more chips with cream cheese dip, so high on carbs and fat. By afternoon time, I was feeling gross--can anyone say heartburn and indegestion?? After an almost nap, I needed to get moving.
I headed out for a walk in the fresh snow. It was beautiful and just what I needed. When I got back, dh and I spent close to an hour outside shoveling and clearing snow. Now *that's* the kind of Shovelin' I needed!! :D
After a quick trip to town for a few essentials (diapers, milk, and treats for today's workers), I am proud to say I resisted the ice cream and enjoyed my new favorite food...grapefruit. Mmmmmmm.
So, no guilt about our food choices today. They definitely weren't great, but I got moving, refreshed myself, and put something good in my body to help move out the bad. That's a good recovery and what I call Progress.
