Exercise: 3.7 miles on the treadmill in 45 minutes (1 of walking, 2.7 of running), 10 minutes of arm weights
It felt so good to be on the treadmill today. I couldn't believe how great I felt. Getting some good rest this weekend made a huge difference!

Attention
Tiff, Vanessa & Dixie:
I've found a race that looks good to me. It's the Save-a-Sister Run For Breast Cancer (10k, 5k & 1 mile walk) on Saturday, Oct. 25th at 9am in St. George. How does this date look for each of you?

Day 83
Breakfast: Here's what my wonderful husband made me. :) scrambled eggs w/ green chile & cheese, Xango juice, whole wheat toast w/ butter
Lunch: graham cracker, 10 almonds
Dinner: Gypsy Stew, whole wheat roll (I made the stew w/o any meat because it could be made w/o it, and my crockpot wasn't big enough. With meat, a serving is 260 calories, so I'm guessing it was closer to the 200 mark the way I made it.)
Dessert: Pumpkin dessert w/ whipped cream (2 servings...1 too many)
Exercise: day off
I don't think today has been a super high calorie day. Glad to have one of these days on occasion. I need to make it happen more often--only with more fruits & veggies.

Day 82
Breakfast: oatmeal w/ sugar & milk, 2 slices turkey bacon
Snack: I licked the bowl & spoon from homemade chocolate frosting
Lunch: unfried rice
Snack/Dinner: ham, funeral potatoes, 2 rolls, fruit/jello salad, pumpkin dessert w/ whipped topping, Marinated Sesame Chicken
Snack: no-bakes, glass of milk
Exercise: blessed day off!!
It's been a strange day for me. I spent 4 hours serving a meal at a funeral. I had gotten there at 1:30, but we didn't feed everyone until around 3:30 or 4, which is an unusual time for a meal. The dinner stretched on and on. Just being around the yummy smelling food made me hungry. We were invited to eat, but by the time we did, all of the salad was gone. I could go for a seriously good salad right about now!!

Day 81
Breakfast: (10 am) hard-boiled egg, 2 small slices of pepperoni pizza, 1 small breadstick w/ marinara sauce
Lunch: 2 slices homemade bread w/ butter, lowfat cheese stick, mandarin orange
Dinner: Unfried Rice--yummy
Dessert: bowl of no-bake cookies, glass of milk
Exercise: 2.85 miles in 45 minutes on the treadmill, ab exercises for 15 minutes. I ended up mostly walking today. My heart rate just wasn't having it and I didn't want to kill myself. I feel like such a loser having to walk, even though I know I shouldn't.
It's been a rough food week for me. I'm not sure what my deal is, but tonight I'm thinking that my struggles this week with both food and life have been stemming from lack of sleep. As hard as I try, I just can't seem to get to bed early enough to wake up at 5:30am, but wake up I do. I'm hoping to get more sleep this weekend & will try to do better next week. Wish me well.

Day 79: I've gotta kick this sugar habit!
Breakfast: yogurt w/ granola, banana, hard-boiled egg
Snack: 6 almonds
Lunch: M&Ms (finished them off), 2 mini Reese's pb cups, Hershey's chocolate bunny, plate full of tortilla chips w/ melted cheese
Snack: mandarin orange
Dinner: tortilla chips, Unstuffed Peppers
Snack: Hershey's chocolate bunny
Exercise: I went with a lower intensity today and did 12.75? miles on the bike in 35 minutes. The resistance was really low so that my heart rate was in the "fat burning" zone. The bike's computer system kinda annoys me because it didn't seem as responsive as it should have been to my heart rate. I then did 10 minutes on the rowing machine & a few other floor exercises and stretches. I also tried jumping rope, but my bladder wasn't having it. Looks like I should wear some depends when I want to jump rope. I got to wear new workout clothes today, so it was fun.
My eating has been really crappy today. Not much else to be said. I'm in a cooking rut, too. I've yet to make dinner this week. Thank goodness I have a few freezer meals left & have been able to use them. Blah!
