Goal- To relax a bit today.. got a busy day a head of me..

Hi Carla! I know what you mean about bikes getting taken for your Spin class! That happens to us too ... we get there way early and put our water bottles on a bike to "reserve" it and then we go do some strength training and stretching until class starts. I hate having to fight for a bike! Good luck with your trainer today! Vitamins and water: no problems for me Food: B--3/4 cup Special K Protein Plus cereal with skim milk S--1/2 slice whole wheat toast with peanut butter L--no idea, I'm meeting a friend at McDonalds so our kids can play ... I either need to figure out something to eat there or wait until afterward to eat my lunch! S--string cheese D--Don't know yet, need to go to the grocery store! Exercise: Today is my "big" running day ... I'm going to try to run for 3 miles on the treadmill at the gym. And I'll probably do some upper body strength training too. My goal: Finish cleaning out my kitchen cupboards and go grocery shopping and NOT buy any junk! Deanna

Hi Deanna just interested - how long will it take you to run 3 miles? You make me feel tired just reading about it.

Hi Ruth! It will take me between 30-35 minutes, depending on my pace. I ran 3 miles last Friday too and my butt and hips were killing me the next day! I've been running 1.50 miles at a time during the week a couple days too. I'm trying so hard! I have always wanted to be a runner! It makes me tired thinking about it too ... I really have to psyche myself up for it and listen to some good fast music! Deanna

Vitamins - no problems Fluids - not as good as yesterday - only about 20 oz in so far but I'm working on more Food B- 7:30- I had about 1/2 cup of cheese grits 1/2 piece toas****eensy bit of jelly L -10:30 - Beef tips in gravy and about 3 bites of mashed potatoes from the lunch room (21g) S -1:15- 8 oz skim milk followed by Atkins Peanut Butter Crisp Morning Start Bar (19g) S - 4:30 - Probably Special K Protein Plus cereal w/ 1/2 cup milk and 1 packet splenda I want a snack here because our reservations for dinner aren't until 7:30 which means no food until 8...I know going from 1:00 until 8:00 is a bad choice for me. D - My family (parents, grandparents, siblings and their families) are all driving about 1 hour to a japanese steakhouse to meet up with my sister who lives an hour from there also (halfway for a visit ) Japanese Steakhouse food is sooo yummy. I won't be able to share there because they have a no sharing rule, but I'll manage just fine. I'll just remember my rules...water before the meal (not with the meal) protein first and chew chew chew. Exercise - not today due to picking up my nephew and the out of town trip Goal - Enjoy dinner with my family tonight. Let it be centered around a time of fellowship instead of the food. YAY me!
