Friday Food Journal

Breakfast: giant frosted, creme-filled doughnut (our office has doughnuts every Friday...can't resist!)

Lunch: leftover shredded beef sandwich, light string cheese, blueberry muffin (intended breakfast)

Snack: 5 vanilla wafers

Dinner: Popcorn chicken, waffle fries, Crystal Light

Binge: (Can't even call it a snack) 3 M&M cookies

Workout: Walk/run 3.2 miles.  Again, did this in 45 minutes.  I ran on a treadmill today instead of on the track.  It was okay, but twice my treadmill shut down and reset itself for no apparent reason.  It was fine, but I lost my distance and time data each time it happened.  I guess today it is a good thing that I keep a close eye on those numbers!

Thursday Food Journal

Breakfast: whole wheat blueberry muffin; coffee with creamer

Snack: 4 Wasa flatbread; light string cheese

Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cheddar on wheat bread; sparkling water

Dinner: 5 BBQ sliders (shredded beef, cheddar cheese, bbq sauce, whole wheat buns)

Snack: Nestle Chunky bar (190 calories); raspberry Crystal Light

I had my first swimming experience today and it was awesome!  I was on the school swim team in junior high and I always thought I'd like to go back to it.  Turns out, I was right.  I had a moment of clarity and thought "THIS is why people exercise--it is supposed to be enjoyable and not drudgery.  It should be fun and not full of clock-watching for 30 minutes."  It was a good revelation.

Food Journal: Wednesday

Breakfast: whole wheat blueberry muffin; coffee with creamer

Snack: 2 oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (office treats will be the death of me!)

Lunch: 1 cup corn chowder; 3 Wasa sesame flatbread crackers; 1 light string cheese; 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Snack: 1 light string cheese

Dinner: 1 baked pork chop; 1/2 cup applesauce; 10 waffle fries with ketchup

Workout: Run/walk 3 miles.  I did a mock 5K last night to see what my "baseline" time would be...it took me 45 minutes!  I ran more than I walked, but it was probably a 60/40 split.  I was disappointed that it took so long, but I was proud of myself for sticking with it when I wanted to quit so many times.

Food journal/Workout Plan

New month, new starts.  I weighed in at 172.2 this morning.  I was planning on taking a "before" picture as a baseline, but I do not have the courage.  I don't want to face the reality of what I look like in a swimsuit.

Today's food journal:

Breakfast: whole wheat blueberry muffin, coffee with creamer

Lunch: Chicken noodle soup, 5 Wasa sesame flatbread, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Snack: 1/2 cup Goldfish

Dinner: Lasagna, 1/2 cup green beans

Snack: muffin, 1 cup skim milk

How did I feel? Thirsty! I am not drinking enough water.

This week's workout plan:
Wednesday--walk/run 3 miles
Thursday--swim
Friday--walk/run
Saturday--stair stepper
Sunday--swim

I'm hoping all of these work into my schedule this week.  It will be hard to leave the kids on Sunday, but I'm trying to coordinate naptime with the open hours at the pool.

Stay tuned for how it all goes!
