Impulse Meal Choice Left Me Feeling Gross

Did OK all day with my meals.  Went to the gym and had a really good workout.  Had a really healthy meal planned for supper but then my son asked if he could get Subway instead.  I planned to get him his sub and then have my healthy supper.  That all changed when I walked up to the counter.  Then all the excuses started popping up on my mind:

"it's my workout day so I can have carbs"
"I won't be able to have carbs for the next 2 or 3 days so I better have them while I can"
"I really want something sweet.  I worked out really hard so I can have those cookies"
"a 6" chicken sub doesn't have THAT many calories"
"my calories will still be way under for the day because of that really great workout"

So I got the 6" chicken bacon ranch sub and 3 macadamia cookies.  The crazy thing is the sub really didn't taste that great and I was thinking I should just throw it out and go back to my original supper plan but I didn't.  All night it has just been weighing heavy in my stomach and just feel gross.

On the plus side, today was my first day working out by myself and I kicked it!  I tried a kettlebell routine I found on  www.Shape.com  and it burns 20 calories per minute which means I burned approximately 600 calories during my workout.

After warming up with 15 minutes on the elliptical and some quad, hamstring and shoulder stretches I started with the kettlebell swing with the 2nd to smallest weight.  I have no idea what the actual weight was because it wasn't indicated on the kettlebell.


  then instead of the kettlebell squat I did the sumo squat with the 3rd heaviest weight



Next I did the single leg deadlift which was really really hard!  This was done with the lightest weight.  I can feel the effects of this one the most tonight.  It was very hard to keep my balance and I could feel the muscles in my butt, hip and outside thigh trying to compensate to keep me steady.



Then I moved on to the bent-over row with the lightest weight.


Next one was easy.  It is called the suitcase carry.  I did this with the 2nd to smallest weight.


Last but not least was the shoulder press with the smallest weight.  I don't think I was using the proper form for this one because I was feeling it in my biceps and triceps rather than my shoulders.



All in all it was a good full body workout.
