So last night was my free meal on the game on diet. I went out with friends, and even though I had eaten healthy all day I still felt major guilt by going for a decadent meal.
I ended up getting Buffalo chicken pizza ( a 9 inch personal pizza) because I apparently wanted nothing more than to carbo load yesterday night, and shared a desert with my teammate. It was a Krispy kreme donut with ice cream. It was not as delicious as I had hoped, so I let my friend eat more of it. But coming home, I knew it was a bad idea, as the stomach ache set in, and I felt gross. It was late though and I didn't feel like doing a workout so I just went to bed early. I set the alarm extra early so I would get up before my normal hour, and I got on my treadmill and did over a mile. Granted it was not a fast mile, but I ran for a few minutes, walked some and then ran for a little more. I am scared to weigh myself after gorging last night, but I feel like running this morning before a shower helped me perk up a bit, and not feel so bad. I then came to work and had my healthy lunch and I will go to the gym tonight to get in some more cardio!
I read that cardio is the best way to thin out your legs and lose weight. I do add some weight training but not a lot yet as I am just trying to start this healthy lifestyle.
I also talked to my teammate and she is considering doing the paleo diet for a while. She and I have a friend who is doing it, and she is doing really well with it. Not so much for weight loss although she has lost weight, but as a lifestyle change to get more energy, without cutting calories, but it still cuts out refined carbs and sugar, which are the culprits anyway.
Not sure how I feel about trying it. I am eating whole wheat carbs and doing okay... so maybe I will consider it for a while, but for long term I don't think it sounds great.
