Getting Healthy Days 4-5

It is easier to update this after lunch every day. After my tasty salad, Jack and I moved some dryers around (long story) and I went out to eat. My new challenge when going out to eat is to eat half of what I normally would. I ordered wings and mashed taters from Tablefields. There were 7 wings (luckily, one of them was tiny) so I ate 4. The mashed potatoes I cut in half. I drank water. The meal was tasty but it did bring a bit of the acid burn back.

I avoided any soda or snacks at the movie theater (both for my wallet and diet) but never got a chance to walk. When I got home, I sipped a little Coke Zero before bed because I was thirsty. I made a decision to import my workout program (which was working really well) to my current diet/health kick. In fact, I was about to write out a whole new document but I will just type it here for future reference.

OK, I was on phase 4 or so when I left KC. So, I will reduce phases 1-3 to one week each and then pick up where I left off...

Phase 1 whatever exercise I get on accident (I covered this by not working out the week I moved).
Phase 2 Walk 30 minutes 2x a week (if I can walk one more time this week, I am good for this one).
Phase 3 Walk 30 Minutes 2x a week, do 10x pushups, situps, crunches, curls, dracula lifts and girl, er, modified pushups 2x a week
Phase 4 Walk 30 mins every other day, do the other stuff 2x a week but up the count to 20 each.
Phase 5 Walk 30 minutes every other day, do the other stuff at 20 reps every other day
Phase 6 This starts my couch to 5k modified plan while upping my workout reps to 25 each. This involves a spreadsheet and the idea of slowly completing the Couch to 5k course instead of rushing through it.
Phases 7-12 go through couch to 5k every other day and slowly up my other work out reps to 55
Phase 13 is running 30 minutes every other day and maxing out my other stuff at 60 every other day.

By the end of phase 13, I should be pretty damn good looking.

Today, I had to get up to take my grandmother to the doctor. I didn't have time to scramble eggs so I grabbed a Special K blueberry bar and cup of orange juice. Lunch has left me feeling a little uneasy. Even though it was with Joy and Kells, and I enjoyed myself, I hate a bento box of pork dumplings, white rice, some sort of potato triangle and a slice of orange (with Diet Coke to drink). I could feel I was eating too much but I didn't want to stop. I gave one of my potato things away and only ate half the rice but I ate all five pork dumplings. Ugh. What's worse is that I know tonight's meal should be my leftovers from tablefields. This isn't my cheat day but it is beginning to feel like it. I know none of this alone is too bad but it is rather early in the diet to start slipping. That is the major problem with having friends and eating out together, it is rarely healthy no matter how good it is for your soul.
