TIP OF THE DAY: If you start a new diet plan that omits certain food groups, you may be falling short of your nutritional needs. To supplement any shortcomings, be sure to take a good multi-vitamin every single day. While vitamins don't actually replace eating healthful foods, they are a good way to boost nutrition.
Today at work I was SO busy. I ran (yes literally ran/jogged) around the hospital so much that by the time I got home I was already at 9,000 steps!! That is the most that I have ever walked at work yet. But let me tell you I was sweating a lot and by the end of the day, I was exhausted!!
There was a point where I had to jog across campus, yes, not in the hospital, but in our tunnel system to get to a whole other building! Not just once but TWICE!! As I was jogging to get to the other building I was thinking to myself that I REALLY need to get this extra weight off of me because by the time I get the person in trouble, there just may be another CODE, and that would be me! I was SO out of breath and I felt that my heart was going to fall out of my chest, that I even got a little light headed. I know that I should have stopped and walk some distance but my adrenaline was pumping until we got there and they really did not need respiratory after I gave him oxygen. That's when I started feeling the light handedness. AND to top off my day at work, I got my period!!! AAAHHHH!!! So I counted my day at work as my workout and I GAVE myself 2 points.
OK, on to what I ate;
BREAKFAST:
1 English muffin-2 points
1 Tbs peanut butter-2 points
LUNCH:
lettuce-0 points
croutons-1 point
onion chips-1 point
vinegar and oil-2 points
cheese-2 points
WORKOUT:
Work-GAINED 2 points
SNACK:
Chocolate milk-3 points
DINNER:
mini burger-4 points
veggie chips-3 points
3 boneless chicken wings-4 points
1 tbs ranch-2 points
lettuce-0 points
cheese-2 points
Raspberry vinaigrette- 1 point
DESSERT:
skinny cow ice cream-2 points
Total points: 31 out of 30 points for the day, But with the workout the TRUE total is 29 out of 30 points for the day.
I walked a total of 11,955 steps!! WOO HOO!!!!
I also drank 6 glasses of water today!
I also got asked to cover someone for tomorrow as well so that means another day of work for me :) Let's just hope that it's a better day! HAVE A GOOD ONE!

Recognizing the need to lose weight for health reasons is huge. Good for you, but remember not too push yourself too hard.
ReplyDeleteJust one question: Have you looked at the ingredients in chocolate milk? Myra
OK so I took a look at the ingredients of the chocolate milk, and they are; 1% low fat milk, high fructose corn syrup, cocoa (processed with alkali), nonfat milk, cocoa, food starch, salt, carrageenan, vanillin, vitamin a palmitate, vitamin D3
ReplyDeleteSo since some of these things I have never hear of let alone pronounce, How can I make this healthier? I LOVE chocolate milk and do not want to give it up. It is also a quick and healthier swap for a candy bar.
Also in the Eat This not That book it says that Chocolate Milk does a better job than sports drinks at replenishing the body after a workout.
