Had a bigger breakfast and a bigger dinner, but nothing too intense, so I think I'm good as long as I don't snack anytime between now and when I go to bed (about five hours- I had an early dinner). I'm going roller-skating tonight, which will burn calories, but I need motivation to avoid the snack bar. Maybe I'll have a Diet Coke as a treat.
Excercise: Biggest Loser Cardio Max Level 1. I was a little disappointed in myself for not doing level 2, but it was still a good workout.
Thanks Patchwork penguin! I had another Scotchmallow, and I'm about to eat a pear, but I took apart and carried a bookcase tonight so I feel I deserved it! ;-) Kettleball sounds interesting but intense! I need more strength training in my life :-) My exercise has been on hold while I get over this silly cold I have!
Welcome Nicole & Sacha It's great to have you join in!
Fashin It sounds like you are still active. Great job on recognizing what will work for you!

I had to Google ScotchMallows, I hadn't heard of those. Dangerous.
I bought the kbells several months ago, but didn't really like them very much until today. I bought them for strength training but the workouts I had tried them with previously focused more on how fast you could do the moves to up the cardio effect. Kbell Way 1 focuses more on strength. I really need a DVD to follow to have 'someone to workout with me'.
i did not meet my exercise or water goals =( but, something is better than nothing. i was just too tired to do the 30 day thread when i came home, and i only did an hour at the gym. booo
exercise:
62 minutes 5.17 miles calories burned 566
water- i finished my first little bottle of water and got a little over half on the second fill so... at least 3 liters- still shy of the 4 i'm aiming for
my goal for tomorrow is to wake up early- get my butt into a cold shower to wake me up and then get some exercise before i go to work, that way it doesnt seem so daunting
Hehe, scotchmallows are brilliant. 75 calories of goodness - and to me, far more satisfying than a single oreo or 3 hershey kisses!!
Still feeling slightly icky today...can anyone recommend me a workout so I'm not just in bed that wouldn't be too strenuous while sick? I'm thinking maybe just 30 minutes on the bikes would be decent.
Nicole - what about a brisk 30min walk?? You know what I like to do sometimes when I REALLY don't feel like working out?? I put on some music and just dance and sing for 30 mins or so - it's fun, not too strenuous and def. puts you in a good mood
I still have room for some more food, so I will have to plan something else in here for today. Might get some salad rolls at lunch or I have some trail mix in my desk.
