October 1, 2008

My muscles are really sore today! I think it was all those squats and chest fly exercises from yesterday!!

I added a few new tickers... first, one for October to count miles for the challenge, I hope to do at least 125 miles this month, or exceed that again. Also, I want to "walk" someplace I want to go. I went to Key West in August and LOVED it, so I am going to start tracking my daily workouts for miles (each 15 minutes counts as one mile, no matter what kind of exercise it is, and although every 1 mile walked throughout the day would count, I am only going to count exercise) to see how long it takes me to get to the Tropical Vacationland!

Review of Yesterday:
too many snacks!!!!!!!!! yesterday I tried eating a bigger meal for breakfast and lunch to see if I'd be less hungry at night. But I was still hungry at night! Maybe I just need to eat more. Or more fiber so I feel full... I should not have eaten both the Teddy Grahams and the two chocolate pieces. I do feel proud though, bc I had a choice between wheat thins and teddy grahams, and surprisingly, Teddy Grahams were the better option after I had compared the two. So I gave the wheat thins to someone else. Workout was good, I think getting 1-2 extra miles in 4 days a week will give me a boost. Yesterday I took a nap and today I slept in till 7 instead of 6 :-) I think I needed a little extra sleep!

Today's Workouts:
Walk Slim 4 Really Big Miles + Shortcuts Lower Body with 1 lb ankle weights, OUCH

Breakfast:
1 banana before workout, after workout three slices French toast (with double fiber 100% whole wheat bread at 50 cals per slice), used egg whites instead of egg, skim milk, 1 packet Splenda, cinnamon, and light syrup (not sugar free, I figured I can have somewhat of the real thing since I used egg whites instead of real egg lol) soooooooooo YUM!

Lunch:
3 mini vegetable quiche, a recipe out of the South Beach Diet supercharged cookbook :-) really yummy!! with 3/4 cups fresh green beans

Dinner:
1 sandwich: one 100% whole wheat bagel square (150 cal), 1 slice Gouda cheese (70 cal), 1 wedge spreadable cheese (35 cal), 1 slice turkey (30 cal)

Dessert/snacks:
1 Kashi Oatmeal and Dark Chocolate cookie, 2 mini veggie quiche (ca. 150 cal), 1 60-cal piece of cheese, 6 oz. no sugar added vanilla yogurt
