Wow, Crazy Energy

So today I knew I had to do better in terms of calories since I went to bed hungry last night after eating too many calories anyway (but not way too many at least).

I walked for 35 minutes on the treadmill at around 3.5 MPH. It's not great, but it's what I can sustain at the moment. I may try the Couch to 5K plan on the treadmill to make it more interesting. Now that we have a TV in the bedroom at least I can watch TV while walking which makes it more interesting.

I also did about 5 individual strength training exercises and the Turbo Jam 3T Turbo workout. 60 actual minutes of exercise today felt really good. If Robert was up for I'd go play some tennis this evening too but his allergies are going crazy so outside isn't a great option. Instead I will mess around with the Wii and do some little exercising there.

The food, while still not great, was much better. I'm basically working on eating what we have instead of buying new stuff, so it will be tricky to get it all just right for awhile, but I think it will be manageable.

breakfast - english muffin with margarine, 1/2 spread with peanut butter.
Coffee with powdered coffee mate and sugar x2

lunch - 1/4 cup spaghetti noodles
1 cup tomato sauce with turkey sausage
1 cup green grapes

dinner - giant salad -
4 cups of lettuce from the garden
5 ounces of leftover steak from the weekend
1/2 green bell pepper chopped
1/3 of a cucumber sliced
3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup toasted pecans
3 tablespoons homemade basil buttermilk dressing

snacks (all that working out has made me SO hungry)
1 slice homemade bread with margarine and peanut butter
1 100 calorie bag of microwave popcorn

64 ounces of water, 16 ounces of unsweetened iced tea

I feel great today though I think my arms will be a bit sore tomorrow!
