Exercise: Great time at Spin Class this morning! Burned 691 calories in 55 minutes. Vince and I went to Memorial park this evening. Ran 1.5 miles. Enjoying the crisp cool air running until my ankle began hurting again. Walked the other 1.5 miles.
Locked out of the house after returning from the gym this morning. Cold and hungry. Long story.
Wanted to go out of town today, but still have a "donut" on my back passenger side (spare tire). Getting new tire put on tomorrow. Drove about 45 minutes to visit my friend Sherrie. The air pressure light began blinking so I pulled off the freeway. Atempted to air it up with the air mechanism Vince left in my car. Air just kept coming out of the tire more!
Not the best meals so far...
Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas with one egg and mixed greens, green tea.
Lunch: hot chocolate with soy milk, almond butter sandwich.
2nd Lunch!: Vince made me a hot chocoate on my way back home, Salmon sandwich with BBQ sauce and mayonaise, some corn chips (Vince's chips!) and picante sauce. Not feeling the best. Ate too much.
Dinner: Pot Roast soup from the can. Water, frozen blueberries.

Day 103 Had a Dr. Pepper and Not So Good Day!
Exercise: None (worked late and tired on Friday)
Went to Escalantes for a late dinner. Dr. Pepper craving! Ordered one at the bar while waiting for our seat. Why do I still have cravings even though I don't like them anymore??
A waitress broke a glass on our table. So..it happens. No big deal. Due to that event, the manager surprised us both with slices of Thres Leches cake for dessert. I didn't want dessert, but felt I should eat it since they gave it to us. I have always hated that cake. Wasn't actually too bad.
Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas, one egg, spinach leaves, green tea
Snack: almond butter sandwich
Lunch: 1/4 cup Greek plain yogurt, one small orange, 1/4 quiznos sandwich (from front office)
Snack: several hershey chocolate kisses from the office.
Dinner: Dr. Pepper, 2 fajita tacos, grilled veggies on the side, refried beans, water, slice of cake.

Day 102
Exercise: Went to Spin class, but only lasted 3 minutes. My thighs were just too sore from the elliptical the day before. You don't realize it until you get on that bike! Did arm, shoulder and back weights. Some ab exercises. Tried running again. Ran 2 miles on the tredmill. Burned 200 calories running. Hard to not do spin class. Miss it.
Great news! There were some healthy snacks in the teacher's lounge today....grapes, oranges, carrots! Someone must have donated the healthy treats. Yum!
I added the fiber brownies that I bought to the teacher treats. They do something fierce to my stomach. Of course I did attach a warning note to the box, "Eat at your own risk!"
Breakfast: 1 egg in 2 corn tortillas with spinach leaves and green tea
Snack: red grapes, water
Snack: small orange, handful of cocoa powdered almonds, water
Lunch: salmon patty, mixed veggies and greenbeans, sweet potatoes, water
strawberry cake with creamcheese frosting (celebrating a b-day at work)
Snack: almond butter sandwich, water
Dinner: see pic

Day 101 Near Flat Tire and Too Many Hot Dogs
Exercise: Ballys today. Elliptical machine for 53 minutes. Burned 452 calories.
Tire pressure kept getting low repeatedly. Found nail in tire. Ordered new one. Riding on my spare tire next couple days. Managed to workout while car was in the shop.
Lunch was provided for me since I was working on a different campus today. So grateful to not have to think about packing lunch for a change! Problem...ate too much and candy was available! I can't resist chocolate candy!
Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas, 2 boiled eggs, spinach leaves, green tea, few frozen blueberries.
Snack: None
Lunch: 6 breaded chicken strips, 1 bag of baked Lays potato chips, water
Snack: About 6 bitesize choclate candies RATS!
Dinner: While at Costco dealing with the tire trials, I had 2 hot dogs with mustard, relish, and onions, five sips of Mr. Pibb. No, it isn't the same as Dr. Pepper even though people say it is!! Stomach hurts a bit. Not the best food for me anymore.

Day 99 Steer Clear From Fiber One Brownies: 90 Calorie Waste
Looking forward to our Health and Wellness Evening tomorrow at the school I work at. Lots of opportunities to workout, hear some presenters, get good recipes from chefs and visit the health fair area.
BAD CHOICE: Worked late. Got to the gym late. Grocery store after that. STARVING by then! Had been eyeing a box of brownies for the past several grocery store visits, but was able to withstand the temptation. Not this time.
This item above pretends to be a healthy choice. It's a disguise in my book. Sure it has 90 calories and 5 grams of fiber. What else? Nothing. I was ready to endulge in what I thought would be a decadent brownie. Couldn't wait and so hungry. Opened the box while pumping gas. First bite reminded me of gritty sand. I had thoughts of the desert. Not worth the 90 calories. What shall I do with the rest of the 37? I'm sure I'll subject my tastebuds to the moist free dessert again. I hate that I paid way too much for them too. Arg!
Breakfast: 2 waffles with blue agave, walnuts, frozen blueberries, green tea
Snack: apple slices
Lunch: Leftovers..sweet potatoes, salmon patty, mixed veggies, water
Snack: too many cocoa powder covered almonds
Snack: a few corn chips dipped in mexican 5 layer dip. Bummer! Work stuff.
Snack: The 90 calorie brownie
Dinner: See below.
Snack: frozen peaches

| Dinner: Salmon, quinoa with brown rice, mixed veggies |

Day 98 Free Workout APPS & Zesty Chicken Recipe
1. Cardio Trainer: Use every time I workout. Calculates what I want. Time, calories, distance, pace, maps
your runs on GPS, how many miles you do each day, week, month, total. Can't be without it.
2. All the following are free and by Debbie Miller. Videos of workouts.
Daily Ab Workout, daily arm workout, daily butt workout, daily cardio workout, daily leg workout.
Great for those days you just can't make it to the gym! In fact I'm about to do the ab workout at home.
3. Plan to search for some healthy recipe apps. Let me know if you know of some.
Ankle bothering me yesterday after raking. No time for that! Better this morning. Determining if I should rake the other 1/2 of the front yard or rest the ankle. Could it be from the hour of elliptical maddness the day before? I'm trying to ignore it in hopes it will be nothing.
Exercise: Didn't rake after all. Did abs and floor exercises, squats. Arm weights at home and some push ups.
Breakfast: 2 blueberry whole grain waffles with walnuts and blue agave as the sweetner, frozen blueberries, one boiled egg, green tea
Snack: no sugar Flaxmilk hot chocolate
Lunch: Something new: Zesty Roasted Chicken (info below)
Snack: none
Dinner: Starbucks egg and chicken sausage tortilla taco and a chocolate brownie.
Zesty Roasted Chicken: 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1lb small red potatoes, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
Here is what I did: 2 chicken breasts. Mixed garlic, 2 teaspoons oregano, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons blue agave (used in place of honey) and brushed that on the chicken. Top baked chicken with chopped green onions.
