Day 11 - September 7, 2009

I have no official plans for today except going to lunch with my boyfriend and my daughter. We might go to Disneyland later, we might not; it's Labor Day, so it's bound to be crowded.

I downloaded an app for my iPhone that shows me the best options for "good for you" food nearby. So if I'm at a restaurant, it'll show me what I should get and how many calories/fat/carbs it has. I'm not quite sure it's totally accurate: it says that the healthiest thing at 7-Eleven is a jelly donut... maybe they just mean out of the 7-Eleven branded food, cuz I'm pretty sure the bananas at the checkout counter are healthier than the donuts...I hope.

I also want to go to a store to see if I can find wrist/ankle weights to wear when I'm walking; up the challenge a bit since I seem to be plateau-ing on my time/speed (no running, since my knees aren't able to handle it).

1:30 PM Minestrone soup & whole wheat linguini with meat sauce

5:45 PM Otter Pop

8:00 PM 3 small slices of sausage and olive pizza

11:00 PM 2 scoops of mango sorbet

The only exercise I did today was setting up and taking down my daughter's bounce house. However, I did get wrist weights (1lb each) today, so I'm looking forward to using them on my walks this week.

Day 10 - September 6, 2009

Was sooo relaxed yesterday, I didn't think about blogging. Sorry.

Yesterday was a do-nothing strenuous day. Having had an exhausting day on Saturday, we skipped church (which was an hour earlier than usual) and breakfast and just waited to meet up with the kids from church at the local "other mouse" pizza and games place. Then we went to the annual International Street Fair and walked around it for a couple of hours. The day was topped off with vegging on the couch, enjoying the A/C.

12:00 PM Salad: romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cubed ham, devilled eggs, black olives, bleu cheese dressing. Got 2 servings, as it was all-you-can-eat and I was considering this my breakfast and lunch.

4:00 PM Frozen fruit bar; banana flavor (with pieces of banana)

8:00 PM Macaroni & cheese

10:00 PM 1 slice of Tropical Torte with Fresh Pineapple

In general: 60oz of water

No exercise except for walking around the street fair at maybe 1.5 mph. My calves are a bit sore from walking 2 hours that slowly in a crowd wearing flip flops.
