Tuesday August 25th

I guess I could come up with more clever titles, but nah...

Today I did EA Active at medium intensity for 26 minutes and burned 126 calories. After the walk yesterday, I'm definitely starting to feel it! I do lots of squats on the game and lots of arm exercises too!

Oh - and I've decided to change a goal, haha! I don't think I can do the "try a new veggie/fruit" every week...just isn't going to happen. But...I think I can eat a fruit and/or veggie with every meal. I'm going to start with the three "big" meals and then try to add it to my snacks too eventually...I am including juices too (as long as they are "real")

Breakfast: Multi-Grain Cheerios & skim milk w/ glass of OJ (fruit, check!)

Snack: I picked up a box of Sensible Portion Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Chip cookies at Costco. They are made from mostly ingredients I actually know, with 8 whole grains, natural rolled oats and 3g of fiber. They tide me over until lunch at least!

Lunch: Leftover chicken from last night along with the corn w/ water (veggie, check!)

Snack: Cottage cheese and a cup of Peaches & Cream (fruit, check!)

Dinner: We made pizza tonight with a crust and sauce I got at Costco (all natural supposedly) and then some mozzarella cheese and some baby pepperoni we bought at Costco as well. I only had one slice! Will power!! I also had half a cup of cottage cheese...I haven't eaten that stuff in so long and now that I am, I'm remembering how much I love it and want to eat it all the time, haha! (ummm...does the sauce count as a veggie? I say so :), so check!)

Numbers for the day:

glasses of water: 4
Calories (1,200-1,550): 1,080 (guess I should have had two slices of pizza!)
Carbs (163-236): 128
Fat (32-56): 31
Protein (60-127): 72

OK - so I didn't do too well today...if I had checked my "levels" last night, I would have had a nighttime snack after dinner...but I was so busy putting together a photobook, that I just let time get away from me (and any hunger I might have had!). I'll work better at it today!
