It damn near killed me.......

I had some small success today. 

While I went over the calorie limit that I set for myself today, I didn't kill it like yesterday.  It went as follows:

Breakfast: 330 calories

• 1 egg scrambles with salsa on a white corn tortilla 
• 1 packet of toasty crackers with peanut butter

The Greek yogurt that I planned to eat was outdated so I improvised but still dreamed of John Stamos.  MMMMM......

Snack: 560 calories

•       2 Brioche buns  

 Admittedly this was not the best idea that I had but everyone else was eating some kind of egg concoction that they made in the kitchen and I grabbed a bun instead.... but I was starving so I had another.  It was not until I looked up the calories that I realized my mistake but I stopped feeling guilty about it, dropped it and moved on. 

Lunch: 424 calories

•        2 pork and cheese papusas

These were delicious and not as bad calorie-wise as I thought. If you've never had one, try it.  They are a Salvadorian delight. 

Dinner: 630 calories

•        1 chicken pot pie

This was not not my choice of dinner but I was 1)starving and 2)broke so I took what I could get.

So, even though I went over my 1500 calorie allotment, it was better than yesterday because.........

I got on the treadmill.....but it damn near killed me.   Thirty minutes on the treadmill at 2 mph. Not too bad but my back was killing me the entire time.  I stretched before I got on and stopped during and stretched again but it still was hurting but I soldiered on and coached myself to a finish. I wanted to give up so bad but told myself that I would do just 5 more minutes. After that, I did just 5 more and then another 5 more until I was done. 

This is exactly what I looked like!

So, here's to small victories, even if the fight won is against myself.
