4/9/08 - Daily diet & exercise journal

OK, I'm going to get this thing started and then I'm off to the bank (i wrote the checks for hubby's surgery yesterday but didn't transfer the cash yet!!) and then the gym to burn off a few calories!  I'm going to try and not peep online 2 & 3 times a day like i've been starting to do and will be back this evening to edit in the rest of my daily intake!  I hope everyone has a great day and has wonderful stories to share later tonight!   FOOD S:  StarBECK's Skinny Cini Dulce Latte B:  1cup Kashi Cereal and 1/4 cup milk L:   LOL....I forgot to eat!!  it's 5pm and I just ate 1/2 a protein bar D:  about 3/4 cup Baked spaghetti cassarole (noodles went down fine!) Yeah me!!  A whole day without a stuck or even a semi-stuck incident!!  FLUIDS 8oz coffee 8oz milk 30oz water (this goes to the gym with me) 17oz crystal lite EXERCISE I ended up doing 50 minutes lower body strentgh training, 5 minutes on the stair climber (my knee's been aching thought a good workout on it would help a bit) and then finished out with my usual 40 minutes cardio bike ride!

Today not as pretty as yesterday but all is well.  21 minutes on the treadmill, 15 minutes on the ab lounger and 15 minutes on the red chair.  Exercise is increasing, not as much as I would like.         B - Banana Creme Whey Protein drink, a cup of tea, glass of grape sugar free kool-aid. L- tuna with multi grain crackers and a yellow delicious apple peeled and cut up.  Snack - Special K Chocolate Protein bar. D- 2 turkeyburgers.   I've noticed your continued weight loss, congratulations.  I'll post new stats after my visit next week. Z

Thank you! I usually do lose pretty well for about a week or so after a fill and then taper off.  I'm actually hopeful that I might see the underside of 200 before the end of the month!  That is IF I STAY ON MY GAME!! Now Z, Don't be so hard on yourself!  If you add up the time you spent exercising today you did almost a whole hour worth!  I've seen where you usually manage to do something EVERY DAY.  I've never enjoyed exercising so I'm not sure what's in the water here but I'm totally compelled to get my butt in the gym 3 - 4 days a week.  I bet if you add it up you spend just as much time as I do getting your groove on!

The warmer weather is a good motivator.  At least working in the yard will add to my exercise.  I am hoping to see onederland by the end of May. To do that I will definitely have to pep up my step.  Instead of watching Fit-TV I might have to join in.   Thanks for the encouragement. Z
