rough wednesday

As I mentioned, I woke up early, ran in the snow (3 m) and did an ab work out, Great start! Then things got hard

b- tea, oatmeal, 1/4 apple, more decaf tea
L - went to Taco Riendo in northern Liberties with the team. Apparently this place has great corn on the cob (which it does) it is grilled then sprinkled with chili powder and parmagian cheese. mmm... I had 1/2 an ear. Then I had an Azteca Taco (minus the steak) which consists of cactus and mozzarella cheese and some really hot spice. I didn't eat the soft taco shell because they microwaved it and I hate the nasty taste of microwaved shells. PHEW! dodged that bullet. But then they wanted to go to Brown Betties bakery. (Gotta love Northen Liberties!) There I succumbed to a coconut icing covered poundcake cupcake. Luckily Claire was there to split it with me.

S- celery, lf moz cheese stick, decaf tea

D- community meetings are bad for calorie counting. By this time it was 6.30 and I knew I wouldn't be home until 9 pm and my stomach was growling. I had a bite sized tuna sandwhich on a little tiny potato roll, then a bite sized turkey sandwich on a little tiny corn muffin, 2 strawberries and 5 grapes. an hour later I was still hungry so I succumbed to roastbeef on a roll. I avoided more cupcakes, cookies and chips.

S- 9.30 HUNGRY! lf moz cheese and celery and the last of my detox tea.

my calorie total was still way less than 1500 so I think I'll be okay and very mindful today.

Go for a walk OUTSIDE!

A unique benefit of being out in the cold is that when exposed to subfreezing temperatures, tiny receptors in our skin initiate greater levels of thermogenesis, enabling the body to produce more heat and metabolize fat; we can burn 25 percent more calories when we walk in the cold than when we walk at room temperature. Additionally, research has shown modest increases in the secretion of human growth hormone—as close to the fountain of youth as anything discovered so far—in individuals that exercise in cold weather. Lastly, and maybe most important, most of us feel more empowered after braving the elements.

Snow Joy

I LOVE THE SNOW. It even inspired me to get up and run before work this morning!

B- yogurt, 1/2 apple, plain tea
l - celery stalk, lf moz cheese stick, tuna, wasa, water
d- sushi, veggie dumpling, seaweed salad, detox tea

meditation, watching the snow fall, deep dream-filled sleep.

Tuesday

40 mins arc trainer
B-Hard boiled egg white, special K bar
S- one Wasa and 1/4 svg of reduced fat PB
L- Roast beef, lo fat cheese, lettuce & tomato sandwich (only ate half of the bread)
20 minutes exercises with weights & stability ball
D- brown rice and stuff dad made, asparagus. I actually controlled my portions... yay!
Lots of tea and water

Tues & Wed

so yesterday was pretty good for me except at dinner I had a couple boneless wings from Chili's. Other than that, I had 1 cup chicken with beans and rice for lunch and green beans. Snack was yogurt and 3 olive crackers. Besides the wings at dinner, I had 3 shrimp, broccoli and rice.

Since I felt guilty about the wings, I ran 3 miles this morning and did pushups and squats. Ouch. I'll be feeling those the rest of the day.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Countdown to May 1st!
