Today's Sucesses/Challenges:
Sucesses: didn't eat any chocolate or a lot of snacks when they where there to be eaten today.
Failures: ate a little too much of the fried chicken. But did well to not overeat on the snacks.
It was one of those lazy Sunday's and I was feeling a little tired, but my boyfriend suggested we go out and do some rollerblading. He'd mentioned it a few times so I decided what the hell, let's just go for 1 hour. We headed for Duryu Park and met with one of his friends. I was sooo nervous as I haven't been skating since I was a child so my legs felt a little shaky. After a few turns, I seemed to have the hang of it again....but whoah how do I stop. The stopping technique was a little unusual and I have to admit after trying and trying I still felt pretty shaky about it.
Anyway, the day was a lot of fun, much better than I had anticipated. After a hour or so we got some lunch and met some of my boyfriends friends. Now this was when eating healthy became a little more difficult. The boys wanted fried chicken, which I really like too but I was hoping to just have a few pieces and fill the rest of my stomach with some kind of salad. Alas, Korea does not have the same thinking and they never have a salad option when you order chicken. We even tried a local grocery store, but again there were no options for me. In the end I did my best and hoped to have better options at dinner or to just make a healthier meal on Monday!!
Weekly Goal: Reduce sugar intake - get rid of sugar addiction. Read more sugar addiction and understand what to expect with withdrawl symptoms. Eat plently of wholesome, nutritious foods. Eat slowly, put a little less on my plate and think about and enjoy what I'm eating.
Today's Goal: Do some exercise with Gil and have fun on our day off work. Eat nutritiously while having some fun.
Emotional rating: 3+ - I'm feeling a little tired, but am looking forward to getting out of the house and having some fun. My neck is feeling irritated at the moment so I might have to ask Gil for a massage before we head out.
