Day 45

TIP OF THE DAY: Portion vs. Serving. What is the difference between the two? A portion is the amount of food/drink YOU choose to consume-It can be big or small-you decide. A serving is a measured amount of food or drink.

Again today was uneventful. All I did was work and come home. Work was OK, not to busy and not to slow...it was just right.

I miss counted my points today and went over, so since I don't work until 3p tomorrow I was going to jump on the treadmill for 20 min...if I can handle it, otherwise it will be for 10 minutes, just like the Dr. ordered :)

I was so happy that I put on my pedometer today, but I KNOW it did not work well. The pants that I had on were VERY baggy at the waist so I think it only counted how many steps that one leg took. And there were times when I noticed that I was at the same number of steps for about 10 minutes. Yes I was walking during that time. So for today I am going to double what the pedometer said. It said that I walked 3, 779 steps so if I double that, it would be 7,558. Now that sounds better to me!!

On to what I ate;

BREAKFAST:
1 English Muffin-2 points
1Tbs. Peanut Butter-2 points

LUNCH:
1 hamburger[leftover from yesterday's dinner] (without the bun)-3 points
1/2 cup of plain rice-2 points

SNACK:
Pretzels and Hummus-2 points

DINNER: (I mixed this all together)
1 cup rice-5.5 points
steak- 5.5 points
1/2 cup of cheese-3 points
1/2 cup of guacamole-5 points
Salsa-2 points
lettuce-0 points
1/8 cup sour cream-3 points

Some of the points for dinner are round about. if anything I think I over estimated on the points.

Total points: 35 out of 31 points for the day. So I had to use 3 points out of my extra weekly allowed points.

I drank 8 cups of water today!! WOO HOO!! :) So I am hoping that this will help flush my system some from going over my points.

Well, that's all for today. I hope to get more steps in tomorrow with the treadmill and going to work for 4 hrs.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!! :)
