Day 67

TIP OF THE DAY: Researchers conducting a study about how eating fewer meals relates to weight loss found that those who do not eat breakfast may have a four to five percent lower metabolic rate than those who do!

That's why it's so important to eat breakfast. Try different types of foods until you find a few you can stick with. Otherwise, bailing out on breakfast may sabotage your weight loss efforts.

Today was a GREAT day!! I had off but I made the most of it. I did some more cleaning but I also worked out. I got on the treadmill for 15 minutes BUT I started training for the 5k today. This may be somewhat complicated to explain but I will try my best. I had a plan before getting on the treadmill to jogging for 30 seconds and then walking for 90 seconds and repeating this 10 times. But since I am SO out of shape, that did not workout as planed. So, instead I did a 3 minute slow walk for a warm-up and then I jogged for 1 minute (just to see how long I could jog before needing to stop), then walked for 90 seconds and then jogged for 30 seconds. I did that 4x. and then a 90 sec cool down. for a total of 15 minutes. By the end I was sweating and out of breath.

I took about a 10 minute break and then Scott and I went in the back yard and tossed the softball around for 25 minutes. After that I came in and thought I was wonder women and did some Wii Fit yoga, but that only lasted 6 minutes before I decided I needed I was way to pooped to continue! :)

Well, on to what I ate;

BREAKFAST:
1/2 cup yogurt-1 point
2 strawberries-0 points

LUNCH:
1 mini burger-4 points
21 veggie chips-3 points

SNACK:
1 cheese stick-2 points
1 chocolate milk-3 points

WORKOUT:

DINNER: (Subway)
1 foot long veggie sub-10 points

DESERT:

Total points: 26 out of 30 points for the day. But with the workouts, the TRUE point value was 23 out of 30 points.

I also drank 6 glasses of water! WOO HOO, I got to the 6!!

I got called into work for tomorrow so I will have my pedometer on and ready!

Your halfway done with the work week! HAVE A GOOD ONE!!
