This is it!

That’s how many calories I burned on my elliptical workout tonight. That was a lot of sweat. I feel great! I did a 45 minute pre-set routine that goes from difficulty 3 up to difficulty 10. It just works up and down and so you get cool downs and harder patches.  Then I did 20 minutes of stretching. The workout also meant 144 carbs burned.  Good work out.

Today should have been an outside run day, but it was HORRIBLE weather. My son’s school even got canceled because of high winds, and power outage. Ridiculous! This is May! Oh well, didn’t stop me from working out

It was my birthday on the weekend, so I really needed a good Monday workout to combat the bad eating. Well, one pretty bad meal and an ice cream cake. No, not the whole cake… but I think over 3 days I managed to down 3 pieces of it.  So, hence the big push on the elliptical.

Tonight we are going to watch The Celebrity Apprentice - we recorded it last night because I wanted to watch “Fools Gold” which we recorded from the night before!

Today’s food… not too bad…

Breakfast - Honey Toast and tea
Lunch -  1 1/2 hotdogs. 1 (small… very very small) piece of ice cream cake.
Supper - brown rice and seafood (YUMMY!!!! My husband made salmon and shrimp)

Lots of water today, too.

Have a great week, and all the best in your quest to be healthy! Tomorrow is the Biggest Loser - best show on TV to motivate me to lose weight, but more than that, to be the best I can be!

I have had some serious cases of the munchies lately, and it is really hindering my weight loss efforts (and, NO, I am not pregnant!) My friend called to encourage me the other day and told me to start making a food journal. I started this, and it’s kind of torture, but I’ve been doing it for several days now. If nothing else it makes me think about what I put in my mouth, but I have such a hard time remembering to do this in the midst of taking care of the kids, etc.

So, I’m wondering if any of you would share some easy, but tasty, low calorie (but high flavour!!!) snacks that I can incorporate into my day. Today, my morning snack was yogurt.

I weighed myself on Wii Fit yesterday and was down 1.5lbs. That’s at least moving in the right direction!

I’m looking forward to “The Biggest Loser” tonight… I feel very inspired by that show, but often wish I could have Jillian come and visit me for a week. But then again, she kind of scares me, so maybe she’s best onscreen!!
