Day 40

TIP OF THE DAY: To counteract a binge, keep your body's fat-burning furnace running on full blast by drinking Green Tea. Green Tea contains caffeine and the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) , which is proven to boost metabolic rate. In fact, in a recent 3 month study, participants who took Green Tea extract lost 4.6% of their body weight without changing their diet. To get the benefit, drink at least 3 cups a day.

Today this afternoon at work I was running all over the hospital. Literally running and sweating! Within 3 hours 3 people tired to die. We saved 2 but lost 1.

The pedometer said that I walked a total of 5,673 steps! Now I KNOW I walked a heck of a lot more steps then that!! I am getting kind of annoyed by the pedometer because it is not "really" keeping track of my steps.

Well I am tired today so on to what I ate:

BREAKFAST:
1 bagel-3
1 Tbs. butter-3
1 Tbs cream cheese-2

LUNCH: (salad)
Lettuce-0 points
3 Tbs Thousand Island Dressing-4 points
8 Croutons-2 points
1 Tbs. Onion Chips-1 point
3 Tbs. Cheese-2 points
1 tsp. Sunflower Seeds-0 points

DINNER: (Subway)
1 foot long Veggie Sub-10 points


Total points: 27 out of 31 points for the day.

I also drank 5 glasses of water. I REALLY need to get back to the 6 glasses!!! Oh well, tomorrow is another day. HAVE A GOOD DAY!!

  1. Wow Becky! three people on their death beds...that's pretty depressing.

    You are a better gauge of how much you walk than the pedometer. So keep on walking.

    Still no snacks...there should be one between breakfast and lunch and two between lunch and dinner. How about we schedule a time for snack shopping? myra
