FOOD and EXERCISE Tuesday

Another good day. Although I haven't had dinner yet or been to the gym, I know what my plan is. The only thing that might change would be my adding some cheese to my dinner. B~1 oz string cheese, 1 oz turkey, 1/2 Atkins shake L~The meat and cheese off of two slices of pizza, a small part of the outside crust D~1/2 cup grilled chicken with peppers and onions S~1 oz string cheese, 1 tube of peanuts (shouldn't have had those!) Calories: 852 Carbs: 26 Protein: 76 Exercise: I volunteered today for a "Safety Street" program at my daughter's school. Each class had an hour to complete the program, and during one of those classes, I was a "car" and had to stand inside a pretend car and roll it around the "city." Although I did this for almost an hour, I am calling it "30 minutes" of exercise, as I did not go very fast (although pushing kind of sucked). At 5pm, I will be in the gym, walking the treadmill (or track) for 30 minutes, and then lifting weights for about 30 minutes. Mood: Pretty good. I felt good about how well I did yesterday. Although I had a few too many carbs (I calculated that crust as one slice of bread!), there was SOME fiber, which would bring my net carbs down to about 21 (and I'm happy with that). I have a horrendous headache, and I don't know if it's from low carb or not, but I'm sticking with my plan for the week. Pamela 352/274/263 by V-Day

Not a bad day here either!

For my exercise today, I bathed my two Golden Retrievers and washed several loads of laundry, which resulted in several trips up and down stairs putting things away.
