Day 125: Nine Fatty Foods To Avoid

Click 9 Fatty Foods

Exercise: Spin Class Saturday morning for 50 minutes! Class is always packed and much harder on Saturdays. Love it! Burned 664 calories. If you have never tried Spin it is a must do! Amazing cardio workout. Burns fat and builds leg muscle. Great energy all day after.

Driving around town hungry. Stopped at Krogers and bought PROCESSED food. Yes I did. Wanted to find some type of low cal cereal for a snack or a change in breakfast. Also needed a snack for after work. I'm tutoring 5 students after work now and still trying to workout some so I need something to eat between my noon hour lunch and before our late dinners. I've been trying to only eat real meats, fruits and veggies, but need to make an exception due to my hectic schedule. Just need to be able to grab and go for a change. Bought some bars.

New Cereal

Day 124: TGIF!!

Exercise: AGAIN...NONE! Just getting home at almost 8pm!

Thank Goodness It's Friday! Subjected myself to a dinner out while in the midst of running from Home Depot to my townhome for rent and back to Home Depot! Trying to get ready to rent out the place again. So busy. Ate dinner at Luby's. BAD stuff and felt really stuffed afterwards. Mac and Cheese, fried breaded fish and even a wheat roll. Stressful times make me eat. Need to learn to turn that off. One can still eat healthy even if stressed out and tired. Expected the maids to come over and clean the townhome tomorrow, but realized the electricity was not turned on yet. Had to cancel so there goes our open house tomorrow as well. Bummed!

Breakfast: scrambled eggs in two corn tortillas, green tea
Lunch: 2 corn tortillas with chicken and that Indian sauce and spices with spinach, small orange, water
Snack: way too many almonds
Dinner: Luby's
Not a healthy dinner.

Day 122: So Much To Do!

Finding it very difficult to make time to workout. Tutoring 5 students a week now after working in a elementary school all day long. Dealing with renting out our townhome again and fixing up another to sell. Getting home late and hard to even focus on making dinner. Eating late. Complain...complain. One good thing is our new "positive" chart hanging on the fridge. I love it! It consists of space where we list all the great things that happen every day during each week of the month. Funny how one might think nothing good ever happens until it is in writing. Lots of good things have happened this week so even though times are tough right now my spirits are lifted.  : )

Exercise: Somehow made it to the gym late today. Only time for 25 minutes on the elliptical machine. Burned 265 calories.

Breakfast: one corn tortilla with boiled egg and mixed greens, green tea.
Snack: cocoa powdered almonds, banana
Lunch: Forgot to put my cooked lunch in the refridgerator at work so it spoiled! Had to go to Quizno's and bought a small turkey sandwich with bacon and cheese. Water
Snack: apples
Bad stuff: piece of white cake from our facutly meeting. It was so good.
Dinner: Got home late to find my husband had cooked! So very happy about that one. Salmon ( I ended up only eating 1/2 of it), salad with tomato, carrots, avacado. Zuccini, brocoli, green beans, water.
