The food this weekend was a little bit out of control. I forgot to make lunch for Friday, and then my absolute favorite food truck showed up to both save and ruin my day. I love Chirba Chirba with the crazy love, and their dumplings are nearly impossible for me to resist. I admit to some serious indulgence there. Then--it was Halloween. I had a few treats, though I stayed away from the candy itself. I figured that the corn chips, the sweet roll, and the cupcake (I make them every year) were more than enough. I will say that the indulgences of Friday and Saturday left me feeling positively ill on Sunday morning. I think I have trained my body to like healthier food better. Sunday was marginally better, though more calories than I should have consumed. I will try to make up for this craziness this week with some low sugar and low carb eating for a few days to get things back on track.
As for exercise, I did manage to get in some walking on Friday. I went for a morning walk as soon as I got to work instead of a lunch walk, and that was absolutely the right thing. It started my day off on a good note, and made my whole day go better. Then I squeezed in a couple of short walks later to get my steps in even though I skipped Zumba in the afternoon to go have dinner with the grandparents instead. Saturday, in addition to the normal stuff we have to get done and the farmers market run, we had people over for a little Halloween celebration. This means there was little time for exercise, even though I was on my feet for the whole day. Sunday was worlds better. We managed to get in a good family walk around Apex Community Lake before the serious rain set in--we got a little damp, but we were all in a better mood after we went! Then in the afternoon, I went to a Zumba class in Cary to try to make up for some of my skipped classes last Thursday and Friday. The instructor turned out to be Tameka, the same woman who teaches the Friday class in Apex that I like so much. That was definitely a win! Top off the day with some ab work and a family dance party, and it was a good, active day. I still consumed more calories than I should have, but I will work on correcting for that this week.
Whew!
