Weight Loss Challenge – Week 2, Day 2 – Handling Stress Better
Posted in: July to October 2009, Suzanne's Weight Loss Journey, Week 2
I was really happy with myself today. Some of the reports on the tracker weren’t working because of the server problems last week and I was working like a you-know-what to get them all working again. (I hate it when something’s not working right on the site.) I’m happy because I actually stopped and had a snack, instead of just plowing right through the afternoon and forgetting to eat. I made a conscious choice to eat a healthy snack. That’s a huge improvement for me! I guess this old dog can learn a new trick! Ha! 
Had another great day, and I’m feeling great! If you’ve made changes to your diet and exercise habits recently, now’s a good time to make sure you’re feeling good. Good nutrition and exercise will leave you feeling energized. If you’re feeling tired or weak, then you’re not eating enough or overtraining (or both). I can’t stress enough that going super low on the calories is not a healthy way to lose weight…
Here’s what I ate:

Workouts
Had a great Cardio Coach workout on the elliptical; pushed myself a bit more. Feeling strong and energized after my workouts! Didn’t do any extra activities — my legs were feeling a bit sore from the bike ride on Monday. I definitely don’t want to overdo it!
