So, I did it again! I’m so proud of myself because once again, I really didn’t want to work out. Technology was conspiring against me, and I still did it. First, I couldn’t get my (junky) mp3 player to turn on. Then, I watched one episode of Friends, and the TV died on me. At that point, I just got mad, so I stepped it up into a jog for a couple of minutes, and finally I realized that I did have a radio, so I turned that on.
I shortened the workout slightly from yesterday, and I didn’t walk as fast, either. I got a really bad stitch in my side toward the end, so I only worked out for 50 minutes instead of an hour. In the end, here’s what the workout earned me:
300 calories, 50 minutes, at around 2.9-3 mph, 2.5 miles on anincline (not sure exactly what it is)
Here’s my menu for the day, technically “off” plan in that I didn’t eat the specified items, but nothing too terrible:
Breakfast: cheese toast, 1 egg white, HNS
“Lunch” (had it at 7 pm): 2 oz. chicken, 1 oz. pepperjack, 1 piece bread, applesauce, HNS
“Dinner” (not super hungry now, but the workout did make me want something: homemade capuccino (1/2 cup 1% milk plus the espresso, plus splenda, so I’m thinking about 50 calories), soy chocolate mini crisps (MRC’s yummy knockoff of nestle crunch, 150 calories, counts as an HNS)
So, obviously I’m not technically on plan and had more carbs than I’m supposed to. However, the calories are still in check. I’m curious about my intake for today. I’m also a bit worried about my new espresso addiction since I don’t really care for it without some sort of milk component, and I’m not supposed to have that at all. I’ve had it twice today now (I usually only do it once), but that’s 50 extra calories a day, so it could slow it down a bit. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see, but the next weigh in won’t be a fair comparison because I’ll have just had the Chinese food.

You look like you are doing great. Keep up the good work. I hope that your weigh in goes well.

Wow, congrats on the workout! Again! I would really be tempted to quit if the mp3 player wouldn’t work and the tv went out. I had trouble getting through my run this morning b/c I couldn’t find anything interesting to watch on the TV. Yeah, a 1/2 cup of 1% milk has 55 cals, so you’re right on. As long as you keep it to a reasonable amount, I wouldn’t worry about it. Espresso and Splenda have no calories.
