Day 6

Sorry - I know this is over due! I missed Saturday and Sunday. Wow, what a weekend. Let me just say, it was a lot harder to stay on track then during the week.

Do you ever notice how during the week it's really much easier to stay on task because you are in this routine? Man, for me, it's MUCH easier - the weekends just seem like free-for-alls! In the past I did MUCH better when I did my weigh-ins on Friday morning. Yes, they would be bigger losses, but it kept me motivated so much longer. I think that I am going to go back to weigh in on Friday mornings, starting with week 2.

OK back to day Six - WOW, I had an amazing workout day today!! I worked out for 2 full hours - 1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of strength training. Within my cardio workout, I actually did the Stairmaster for 20 minutes - so exciting, along with the treadmill and elliptical... I figured out that I burned about 800 calories - 600 burned with cardio and about 200 for the strength training.

My eating today wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. I didn't get back form the gym until about 10:30 so we just went and grabbed some lunch out to eat. I had one of the BEST salads ever : ) So, I had about 7 ounces of Chicken - 220 calories, 1 hard boiled egg - 78 Calories, 10 slices of cucumber - 10 calories, 8 cups of romaine lettuce - 80 Calories, 3 ounces of shredded cheese - 150 Calories, 1 pita bread - 210 Calories, Greek Dressing - 135 Calories and I did have 3 fried cheese sticks : ( - 240 Calories - YIKES!!! So for my breakfast, AM snack and Lunch, I had - 1,123 - OUCH!! I could have done with out the stupid cheese sticks, they weren't even that good...

So, I didn't eat again though until dinner - Turkey Burger Patty - 120 Calories, Slice of Provolone Cheese - 70 Calories, Wheat Bun - 120 Calories, Baked Fries - 150 Calories and 4 TBS of Ketchup - 60 calories. And the dinner total was 520 Calories.

Later that night we went out and met up with some friends for Karaoke, and I had 4 Mick Ultra Lights - but at 95 Calories each wasn't too bad - total 380 Calories.

So, let's up the daily totals - 1,123+520+380 = 2,025-1,700=I was over by 325 Calories for the day. Oops, I guess I should do some better planning!! Let's hope I do better on Sunday!
