Healthy Thursday

Ezma · October 8, 2008

Anyone interested in having one day to focus on healthy eating and exercise? I know every day should be that way but some of us <raises hand> have been struggling. I was thinking if I could get myself back on track for even one day it would help. Anyone else want to vow to make tomorrow all about a healthy you? It can be whatever your own personal idea of a healthy you looks like. Mine is to get at least 40 minutes of exercise, take all my Vitamins, drink at least 60 oz of Water and to eat clean - no preservatives or artificial stuff, no refined anything, only complex carbs and no sugar except the fresh fruit kind.

A great idea - but can we make it Friday? I have to go out of town on business meetings tomorrow, and between the 4 am start, and hotel meals (x2) I don't think it is going to be my day. Otherwise, I'm in for next Thursday!

Sounds good to me too. I just found out that my husband will probably be coming home from the hospital tomorrow so it will be crazy. Plus we are having chinese food with his therapy group at the hospital - it's an outing for life skills.

Sounds like a great idea.

I keep replying to this thread and it keeps not freaking showing up.

I am doing healthy thursday, I can't stomach a healthy friday.

For Breakfast I had a plum and a peice of provolone.

Both Thursday and Friday turned out decent for me for calories. Friday was an almost perfect day. Only slipped on 1 Peanut Butter cookie and a spoonful of ice cream. Not too bad at all considering where I was last week. It's very nice to have my support system back home. Also helps that I have time and someone to cook for again. It's so much easier to be good that way.

Well as predicted healthy Thursday didn't work out - catered meals in business meetings do NOT lend themselves to band or calorie or healthy friendly choices. No cheese, no fruit but morning pastries, decadent Desserts, no breaks (other than 10 min bio breaks).

Friday was recovery - but not too bad, although I didn't get the exercise in.

I think I will try for next week - this one's been shot.
