Pre: a few ounces of oj
Breakfast: egg, whole-wheat English muffin w/ applebutter, fruit (strawberries, blueberries & blackberries) & vanilla yogurt...and I'm still hungry!
Snack: Breakfast cookie
Lunch: pb & honey sandwich on whole-wheat bread
Snack: small V8, graham cracker
Dinner: Lasagna Rollatini w/ Chicken, salad, 3 breadsticks w/ alfredo sauce, 2 Andes mints
Exercise: 3 miles on the eliptical in 49 minutes. The gym was crazy busy today. The treadmills kept getting snatched up & there wasn't one for me to use until I'd been on the eliptical for 20 minutes, so I decided to just keep on going. I also did a few minutes of ab exercises.
My lunch definitely wasn't well rounded. I really enjoyed my dinner, but I fear the calories weren't worth it. (My date with Randy was worth it, though!) I'm so thristy after all of that & can't wait to be in the gym tomorrow morning. Too bad tommorow's my weigh & measure day...

Day 52: Oh, the soreness!!
Breakfast: 2 Breakfast Cookies, glass of milk
Lunch: the last of the Unstuffed Peppers & Lentils and Rice, 6 pb cookies
Dinner: Mexican LaZonya
Snack: apple w/ pb, 2 chocolate graham crackers
Exercise: It's my day off!
I am so incredibly sore today. I'm pretty sure it's from the rowing machine. Oh, I hurt! I also failed to mention my toe yesterday. I had toenails that needed to be trimmed, but decided not to do it at 5:30am when I thought of it. So, I went to the gym & all was well. When I got home and took off my shoe, the toe-end of my sock was drenched in blood! It turns out that one of my toe nails rubbed a blister on the toe next to it. It then proceeded to cut the blister & the skin beneath it, resulting in an insane amount of blood. It has hurt slightly today, but not too bad. I'm hoping it will feel okay tomorrow when I head back to the gym, though.

Day 51: Feeling it
Pre: a few ounces of oj
Breakfast: cheerios w/ milk, banana, 2 slices turkey bacon. (I don't normally eat much cold cereal, but I've been so starved after working out that it's the quickest thing that sounds good.)
Lunch: Lentils & Rice, raw broccoli & cauliflower in dip
Snack: Peanut butter cookies, a lot
Dinner: Mexican LaZonya
Snack: more cookies. I'm all cookied out tonight after eating more than a dozen today. Yuck!
Exercise: 2.35 miles in 38 minutes on the treadmill, 5 minutes on the rowing machine (highest resistance), 5 minutes of free weights (5 lbs) with arms & some leg stuff AND another walk w/ my girls (20 minutes this time)
I forgot to say this yesterday, but I definitely noticed a difference with how my pants felt. They seemed so baggy. I'm defninitely feeling good about where I'm at with my food choices & getting my exercise in. Yes, I'm definitely tired from waking up at 5:30am (and I've required some naps), but it feels so good. I'm so grateful to have friends to go to the gym with!
I made the cookies today because I felt hungry. I should have just eaten an apple. I ended up eating so many again. Now that it's the end of the day, I'm wondering if I was eating to supress some unpleasant feelings...

Day 50
Pre: a few ounces of oj
Breakfast: egg, cheerios w/ milk, banana
Lunch: Unstuffed Peppers, apple crisp
Snack: graham cracker, a sip or two of a fruit smoothie at my neighbors--Jenna hogged the rest!
Dinner: Oven-Baked Lentils & Rice, steamed veggies, salad
Snack (I was so hungry!): pudding w/ whipped cream, chips (several handfuls) I know what I ate wasn't the greatest, but again, I'm not going to feel badly about eating when I was hungry. I'll work on making better choices, though.
Exercise: walked 2.6 miles in 42 minutes on the treadmill, then did weights for my arms for about 10 minutes. I also did the rowing machine for 2 minutes before I got on the treadmill, so my legs felt like noodles when I started walking. AND I took my girls on a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. It was so sunny & beautiful! (By the way, I noticed my crocuses are starting to pop out of the ground...the first sign that spring is on it's way!)

Day 49: Another good one
Pre: diluted oj
Breakfast: honey-nut cheerios w/ milk, 2 slices turkey bacon
Lunch: Skillet mixed veggies w/ cheese, banana
Snack: small V8, graham cracker
Dinner: Unstuffed Peppers
Dessert: Fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, low-fat apple crisp (using my homemade apple pie filling & I cut the butter out of the topping & used my homemade applesauce instead. It's definitely better with butter, but I might try using apple juice instead next time just to see how it turns out. Hey, I'm getting creative!)
Exercise: walked 2.6 miles in 45 minutes on the treadmill
I had another good day. Absolutely no guilt about today--the way it should be!

Day 48: My mini-triffle glasses are so cute!
Breakfast: English muffin w/ apple butter, egg, fruit & yogurt parfait (in my adorable new mini-triffle glasses)
Lunch: Veggie skillet stuff from last night
Dinner: Mexican 5-Bean Soup (except I halved it & only used 3 types of beans), crackers
Dessert: 1 1/2 servings worth of chocolate pudding & cool whip on top (again, in my new mini-triffle glasses....yes, I like them!)
Exercise: none
Had another good day today. The scale was very good to me this morning. I'm holding off posting what I was, but let's just say that I met my goal that I set last Monday or Tuesday. And I'm hoping to be out of the 130's by the time I post my weight again next Saturday. What a feeling that will be!
