Okay so I was up a whole pound this morning. Ha! It’s not from overeating, that’s for sure. I miss my low-carb bread and my low-carb tortillas! I am, however, managing to eat yummy stuff while staying well within my goals. Today’s adventure was to Panera Bread!
I love love love the turkey/spinach/artichoke panini at Panera. Today I ordered that and a cup of broccoli-cheddar soup. Of course I immediately discarded the bread - and once again discovered that the sandwich’s yumminess didn’t depend on the focaccia at all! It’s what’s inside that’s delicious!
We went to the gym again today! We made a plan during lunch, the three of us ladies! When we were free of our conference sessions, we changed our clothes and put our bathing suits on underneath, then headed down to the gym. My assistant had never been on an elliptical before (nor had she ever been inside a gym before!) but she was game to give it a try.
We did it! We put in a full 30 minutes! I spent the first 15 minutes doing about 3.8 mph, then I slowed down a bit to about 2.5, just to cool off. The last 8 minutes or so, I cranked it up to 4.5 mph. I know to a veteran those speeds probably sound lame, but to me, it was awesome! That is the fastest motion that I have sustained for any length of time - in 20 years or more! When I’m playing DDR I work up a sweat, but I do get a little break between songs. This! This is way more intense - more difficult - and therefore, more gratifying! I loved it!
I either need to get an elliptical for home – or a gym membership. NOW.
LOL, my husband’s gonna love hearing that. Hahaha!
ANYway, after we finished our 30-minute elliptical-workout, we headed straight for the hot-tub/jacuzzi. Ohhhhh that was good! We only stayed in for maybe 20 minutes or so but it was awesome.

Yay for eating only what was on the inside of the sandwich at Panera! Saved a bunch of calories there! And I wish I had access to a Jacuzzi…
What type of non-profit do you work for?
That’s some fast progress lady! Way to go on the 30 minutes. I’m addicted to elliptical lately, it’s so much fun to swoosh your legs around like that.
I’ll bet you own one soon or join a gym soon as you now know of elliptical madness!
Your elliptical speeds sound FAST. I have never checked mine as I usually go by my HRM or cannot think to check as my legs are whirling around so nicely.
Panera is so yum. I swear, every time I visit your blog I end up eating whatever you’ve had shortly thereafter. I’m thinking their french onion soup would be perfect tomorrow. My low carb bread will be delived soon!
Oh! CONGRATULATIONS on 100, ONE HUNDRED DAYS!!!!!!!!! (Sorry to clutter your comments, I didn’t see that right away)
Nice job!!! Who rocks? YOU!
