Blogging 2 lose weight

I had such a lovely day today!

I went to the gym, had a very nice workout. I almost didn't go, was thinking of so many excuses not to go, but in the end I was glad I did. Did my 20 minutes on the treadmill - burned 125 calories. Was running too for about 8 minutes.

Food-wise it also went reasonably well.

Meals:

• Breakfast: Mango with 100 grams fat free yogurt (the yogurt tasted horrible, I prefer the low fat variety)
• Snack: apple
• Lunch: Sausage and stewed potato and tomatoes.
• Snack: apple
• Supper: baked chicken nuggets with salad, mushrooms, carrots, eggplant
• Snack: crackers and a piece of licorice (spelling)

The total calories for the day came to 1900 which I am happy with since it is slightly down from yesterday's 2000, but most was carbs - I definitely should try and reduce carbs and eat more protein.

Goals:

• Exercise twice a week for 20 minutes - 1 done, 1 outstanding
• No snacking in-between meals and snacks - done
• Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day - had 10 glasses througout the day
• Allow myself 1 coke a week - outstanding
• Eat at least 5 fruit/veggies per day - DONE! Had 7 portions of fruit/veggies for the day
• Track what I eat daily - DONE. Tracked on fitday

I also want to add an additional goals. Dd and I eat take-out on average once a week. I would like to bring that down to twice a month;-) Not only will it be better for my health, but also my purse;-)
