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. :)<br /><br />B: 2 eggs worth of egg beaters turned into an omlete w/ just a little cheese.<br />L: tuna sandwhich (white bread, I need to buy some whole wheat)<br />S: Smoothie-1/3 cup frozen berries (Trader Joes) cup of OJ, 1 egg. <br />D: A few cocktails probably loaded w/ calories....<br /> Pita bread w/ lamb, artichoke hearts, nuts, and some creamy yet tart sauce &amp; 2 stuffed<br /> mushrooms with spinach, nuts &amp; some tangy sauce...(not sure...it was from Ibiza)<br /> Finally my evening ended w/ chicken nachos from Twist. (Very good, very fattening)<br /><br />Exercise: <br />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. <br />Plus walking around downtown in heels is a work out also!<br /><br /><br />Water:<br />2 glasses (baby steps)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3694121033523004715-7947476084214709474?l=melworksout.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18404948890101815427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694121033523004715.post-69111091247628621712008-07-26T12:21:00.000-07:002008-07-26T12:32:27.603-07:00I 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.....<br /><br />7/25/08<br />Weight: 135 lbs <br />(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??<br /><br />Goal weight: 120 lbs<br /><br />Gym routine:<br /><ul><li>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)</li><li>Used elyptical without arm movements on the "butt work out" setting for 30 mins</li><li>Walked home up the massive SF style hill. </li></ul><p>Goal: Run a 5k by October</p><p>Meals: </p><p>B: Starbucks tall ice vanilla latte (they say it's only 90 calories, yea right)</p><p>L: Leftover pasta, chicken &amp; alfredo sauce Probably 2 cups worth</p><p>S: 7 Sun Cips</p><p>D: Starbucks grande banana &amp; chocolate smoothy (they say it's high in protein...) &amp; an eggs florentine breakfast sandwhich from starbucks w/ spinach &amp; havarti on an english muffin.</p><p> </p><p>I may organize this a little better later but I figured if I didn't start it I wouldn't start it at all!</p><p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3694121033523004715-6911109124762862171?l=melworksout.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18404948890101815427noreply@blogger.com1
