It was a little tough to stay on track yesterday as it was my birthday. I find that when I give myself a day off here and there it's easier to stick to the healthy eating. I will say that I almost had Taco Bell and refrained. I still had mexican food but at least it wasn't fast food, which is more fattening. :)

B: 2 eggs worth of egg beaters turned into an omlete w/ just a little cheese.
L: tuna sandwhich (white bread, I need to buy some whole wheat)
S: Smoothie-1/3 cup frozen berries (Trader Joes) cup of OJ, 1 egg.
D: A few cocktails probably loaded w/ calories....
Pita bread w/ lamb, artichoke hearts, nuts, and some creamy yet tart sauce & 2 stuffed
mushrooms with spinach, nuts & some tangy sauce...(not sure...it was from Ibiza)
Finally my evening ended w/ chicken nachos from Twist. (Very good, very fattening)

Exercise:
I live on the 3rd floor of my building which is technically like the 4th floor because ground level is the basement and there is no elevator. I did laundry yesterday and had forgotten quarters a couple times etc. Therefore I walked up and down the stairs... so I basically walked up 6 flights of stairs 12 times.
Plus walking around downtown in heels is a work out also!


Water:
2 glasses (baby steps)

Let the games begin

I decided it is time to start an exercise blog in hopes that if I'm held accountable for what I eat, I'll be more concious. Plus I figure during my exploring of exercises, recipes, and motivational tools, I can share them with others! So here we go.....

Weight: 135 lbs
(I'm not sure how accurate that is as I'm not very skilled at using complicated scales, such as the ones at the gym) Can't I just step on it and have it give me a number??

Goal weight: 120 lbs

Gym routine:

• Ran a mile on the treadmill at a speed of 5.5 for 2.5 laps and 6.0 for 1.5 laps (that was very fast for me.. I hope to get faster)
• Used elyptical without arm movements on the "butt work out" setting for 30 mins
• Walked home up the massive SF style hill.

Goal: Run a 5k by October

Meals:

B: Starbucks tall ice vanilla latte (they say it's only 90 calories, yea right)

L: Leftover pasta, chicken & alfredo sauce Probably 2 cups worth

S: 7 Sun Cips

D: Starbucks grande banana & chocolate smoothy (they say it's high in protein...) & an eggs florentine breakfast sandwhich from starbucks w/ spinach & havarti on an english muffin.

I may organize this a little better later but I figured if I didn't start it I wouldn't start it at all!
