Day 41

TIP OF THE DAY: Don't compare yourself to others along the weight loss journey. Every person is different and will encounter their own individual challenges and rates of weight loss.

We had such a busy day today that I did not even get a lunch! There will be days like this often. I walked a lot today as well and took stairs when ever possible. Also as I walked around the hospital I was doing my cardio walk. faster pace and arms moving fast.

Today at breakfast I was thinking about having a breakfast croissant sandwich that had eggs, cheese, bacon, and sausage. It looked and smelled SO good!! I kept walking around the cafeteria and just kept ending up back at this croissant. then the therapist that I was with said, "so what are you getting for breakfast?" I said I was debating between this croissant or a bowl of cereal. He then said to me, "It's up to you but if you are looking to lose weight and win some of the prizes, I would go with the cereal. I am so glade that everyone at work is helping me out with losing weight. I'm lucky to have co-workers that look out for you!

I am pooped!! So here is what I had to eat today;

BREAKFAST:
1 bowl of Special K cereal with skim milk-3 points

SNACK: (on the way home from work)
1 bag of Pretzels from the vending machine-4 points

DINNER:
2 slices of pizza-8 points
2 Crazy breads-4 points

SNACK:
1/2 of a Slim Jim-4 points
hand full of pumpkin seeds-2 points

Total points: 25 out of 31 points for the day.

I did not drink as much water as I hoped I would. Like I said today at work was non stop and when I came home I took a nap. I drank about 4 glasses of water. Tomorrow I am going to take with me a bottle of water to have on the way to work and get 2 at work to have one at lunch (if I get one) and one on the way home. That should total about 7 glasses of water before I get home. So lets see how that plays out tomorrow.

Now the pedometer said that I walked 6,321 steps. I am thinking that this pedometer is only counting how many steps that one leg is taking because I KNOW I walked a heck of a lot more then that!! With all this walking I better lose weight on Saturday. The only reason that I could see me gaining is that it's that "time" for me.

Well that's all for today. HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!!!! TGIF!!!!
