Some of the women at my office walk twice a day during their 15 minute breaks.  They are able to walk 1.1 miles during that 15 minute time span.  I have walked with them twice before.  They walk fast and I am definitely the largest in the group (not a single one of them are overweight…. Shocker, right… they all walk every day!).  Both times I have walked with them I have felt winded when I am done.  I don’t always get to walk with them as I do not get set breaks during the day.  But if my schedule permits it, I love to go with them.  Today I was able to walk with them in the morning.  It was gorgeous outside.  And, guess what!  When I was done, I didn’t feel totally winded.  Now don’t get me wrong, I was tired.   But I felt like my legs rubbed together just a tiny bit less than before.  And my legs didn’t tingle as much as when I walked with them before.

I again made my own sandwich with veggies on the side for lunch.  I accidentally brought my husband’s sandwich instead of mine (because, as many working mothers—I was doing 15 things at once and in my haste to be efficient, I wasn’t).  I put cheese on my husband’s sandwich and not on mine.  I ate the first ½ of the sandwich at lunch time (I actually got to 12:20 today before I ate my lunch) and all I could think about was how awesome the sandwich tasted.  I kept thinking to myself, this is sooo creamy.  DUH!  It was creamy because I had the wrong sandwich.  Then I felt upset for eating cheese as I had not counted it into my calorie intake for the day.  As silly as it sounds, it threw me off a bit for the afternoon.  Thank goodness I was super busy all afternoon and only now am I thinking about it again.  But it is funny to me how something so trivial like a 40 calorie slip up can actually make me want to say…. “Screw this weight loss thing- I will eat whatever cheese I want.”
