More About Yesterday

So yes...I ate 2100 calories. I feel so shameful. Besides blaming a bad headache, I went wrong when I decided to eat 2 servings of plain pasta. Since I started weighing out all my foods, I've noticed how small some portions really are.

For example, the Ronzoni Fiberous Elbow Noodles I had were 56 grams per serving. To show you how much that is, look at the size of your palm, that's about as much pasta in a serving (laying down...not piled on top of each other). I think about Olive Garden and other Italian restaurants and how much pasta they give you on your plate. There's probably 15 servings or so! And not to mention eating a couple delicious, warm breadsticks. Oh god! STOP!

Another example of misleading servings is flatbreads. I buy Flatbreads/Pitas and it seems that every company markets them as being healthy because they are whole wheat, 100 calories, etc...But what you don't know is that a serving is only half of the piece of bread. But, it's so good that it makes you want to eat the whole circle of bread!

So, tonight, I did something different and did my workout at home. It's ab day, by the way. It's definitely not something I will do on the regular, but I found myself thinking it would be silly to drive all the way to the gym, just to lay on a mat and do abs. So, I shut the dogs out of the bedroom, laid out my yoga mat, and did work, son.

After I finished. I took a long stare in the mirror and saw something exciting. I'm starting to get V-cuts in my hips and lower ab region. I'm getting more overall definition in my stomach too. But, I can still jiggle if I need to lol.

This Saturday, I've got a challenging trail run in Mahomet to run. Last year, my BFF and I ran it together and thought we were going to die. It's a tough trail. I really want to beat my time last year. :)

Just all-around happy. That's all. :)
