Wednesday August 26

Today is a rest day for EA Active. Instead I worked out my arms collating papers at Abby's school :)

So did I also mention that I'm doing my best to not buy any more food with HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) in it? We still have some stuff here in the house, but yeah...hard to do when Abby is with me at the grocery store sometimes...but so far, it is working out fairly well! It isn't a huge thing, but I'm trying to take baby steps with some of this stuff.

Breakfast: Multi-grain Cheerios with skim milk and glass of OJ (fruit, check!)

Snack: YoPlus vanilla yogurt with 1/8 C. Grape-nuts (my first time ever having grape-nuts, those things could crack a tooth! But good in yogurt)

Lunch: leftover spaghetti with a slice of American cheese melted on top; cup of cherry applesauce (all natural too!) (fruit, check!)

Snack: I did a bad thing...I had some slices of sandwich style pepperoni...yum. Not so good for the calories and stuff...oh well. No dessert for me!

Dinner: 2 Hebrew National All Beef hot dogs (they were sooo good!) and 1/2 C. Kraft Mac & Cheese (I made it with skim milk, does that count for anything?) oh darn! I forgot my fruit or veggie...

Numbers for the day:

Water: 4 glasses (need to keep working on this one!)

Calories: 1, 505
Carbs: 185
Fat: 54
Protein: 53

I was within range (but at the high end) for the first three...just a tad shy of the protein today...I let that darn yummy junk food get to me today!

Oh - so I did get exercise today...I did that 1.2 mile walk, in the heat, with Abby! She (of course) couldn't handle the whole thing, so I carried her for a few small parts and also raced her some others...so I think I got a bit of cardio in today :) If nothing else, I'm going to have some rock hard calves in a few months from all these hills! Abby's friend (and her mom and sister) invited us on the walk...probably not something I would normally do honestly...but it was nice to get out. Neither one of us moms realized it would get so darn hot in the sun though...a bit humid too. But we made it!
