Food + Exercise Log

After being sick yesterday, my appetite came back with a vengeance today! It just felt good to dumb all that protein back into my body, and even as I write this blog at almost 8:30pm... I am still not hungry. Yes, often those heavy lunches like that will stick with me through the rest of the day. As a matter of fact, the thought of eating makes me want to hurl.

Food Consumed Today:

• 1 Strawberry Fruit Cup
• 1 Nutri-Grain Bar (strawberry)
• Lunch portion of Five Cheese Ziti al Forno (Olive Garden)
• 1 large salad serving (Olive Garden)
• 2 bread sticks (Olive Garden)
• Water
• 1 Diet Mountain Dew

Wii Fit Exercises:

• Basic Run (island lap)
• 30 Jackknifes
• 6 minutes Hula Hoop
• 5 minutes Advanced Step

I wanted to do more exercising, but my husband came home and I wanted to spend time with him... before bed I might squeeze in an additional 30 minute stepping session.

Weight Watcher Status: I know my lunch today was bad, but I couldn't accurately guess how many points I consumed. I found the Olive Garden Nutrition site today, but failed to document the calories, fat and fiber. I'll calculate it later. For now, I will assume I went over, and I will get in at least 1 hour of exercise tomorrow to try to help make up for my food-fest.

Weight Status: This morning, before showering, I weighed myself. "179.9". I kid you not. I just said yesterday how I just wanted to get back to the 170 range, and BOOM, the scales spit out that number. I have kept in mind that sickness usually sucks a few pounds off, and then they are right back. So, I choose not to get too excited.

I can definitely tell a difference in my clothes, as my pants are unattractively baggy around my butt! And no, I'm not a girl who wants a butt. I think it's so wild how your body chooses where the fat comes off. I wonder how it decides? I have significantly noticed the change in my face, but most of all I want to notice it in my stomach and upper arms. I hate my arms.

All in good time.
