I had a piece of leftover pizza for breakfast yesterday. We went to the zoo, so there was a bit of walking. I didn't eat at the zoo...it was just way too hot. We got home and I made a fabulous dinner. It definitely was a lot of food, but overall I don't think it was as awful as it could have been. Steak, salad, asparagus, mushrooms, sauteed onions. Good Stuff!
Something in the back of my head kept telling me that I hadn't been to the gym all weekend. It also kept saying that I shouldn't go more than 3 days without working out, so I picked my butt up and went. After the steak and all the extras, I really didn't feel like exercising, so I was just going to do 30 mild minutes on the elliptical - just to say that I did it. I ended up doing those 30 and then I stepped on the Arc Trainer for another 25. Great workout altogether. Hey, any time you can burn a quick 500 - 600 calories...
Anyways, I felt a lot less guilty about the bad breakfast and not so great dinner after working out.

Good for you to listen to that voice in the back of your head. Not only that, but to kick your workout up a notch when you didn't feel like it initially. Awesome!
Just what Beck said - and remember, getting to the gym is always the hardest part. We tend to push harder once we're there.
I wouldn't worry about ONE piece of leftover pizza for breakfast. Not the most nutrient filled breakfast, but unless there's only 2 slices per pizza, there's only a few hundred calories in ONE slice.
ohhhhhh pizza.... the thought of it makes me quiver :). I love that stuff and haven't had it in almost a month. Sounds like you didn't eat much of it and you ate it in the morning which is the best time to eat such a thing health wise. Nice work pushing past what you thought was going to be a lame workout. I was in the same boat last night but once I got going I felt pretty good.
Getting there is the hardest part. Especially after a steak dinner - good for you!
i have been singing this beatles tune all gosh darn day because of you!
OK Kristen.
You and I are the closest to our goal weights so I feel like some sort of challenge is in order. Problem is, I don't know what your weight is or how close you are to your goal weight.
How does a 10 pound race sound? I'm about 10 lbs from my goal weight right now (although I suspect I'll need to lose more).
5-day average, of course... do you do that?
