Tera, cool idea to look at the junk food calories. I don't even want to imagine what mine are. Perhaps I need to seriously consider that. But at 1700 cals, only 170 cals being junk would be hard. Although I can rationalize anything. The mochas are 180 cals but they're made with skim milk and SF chocolates. To ben honest, just doing the math in my head, I'm over your 32% if that makes you feel any better.
I didn't elliptical yet. I HATE after work exercise. But I have ramped up the doggie hike. We are fast walking. I mean really fast. The pups are trotting not strolling. I come back winded and tired so that has to be doing something. I am going to figure out how to motivate myself for after work ellipticalling. I bought a coffee press I'm bringing to work so I can make an afternoon mocha at work and have it much earlier than 5:00. So then when I get home, I'll be finished with the mocha and be able to elliptical. Now it might not seem like the two go together, but a mocha right before exercising doesn't work for me (think bowing to the porcelain gods). And if I exercise before the mocha, then I'm having it too late and I'm up all night needing the restroom. So they really do go together. So make the mocha at work (a good afternoon snack that might keep the cabinet raiding down when I do get home since I've been hungry after work) and then I elliptical. The press arrives on Saturday so I'm going to try my idea on Monday.
