January 16, 2011 Progress Logging

Slept late so no breakfast.  Raced out to church.  Went for a .5 mile walk with the supportive husband at a local park.  I used the Cardio Tracker in my phone.  Love this droid app that tells me how many calories burned and how far I have walked.  It is amazing how different you feel when you go for a walk in the nice fresh air.  Luckily our county has plowed most of the pathways so that we can go for a walk in such picturesque surroundings.


 Came home to a Boar's Head Turkey Sandwich from Stop and Shop.  Not sure of the calorie count exactly.  But since the bread was so yummy.  Pretty similar to a Naan consistency I would count on at least 428 looking up Turkey, Naan, and the cheese individually.


 Yes, since the Fit42 challenge began, I have learned to look up the nutritional information of what I am eating.  And I have left soda behind me, so I had a green tea to drink. I love my new green tea it is actually a Green Tea with Pomegranate.  Yum!

After much research and additional reading at Fit42, I have been learning that you need to eat healthy in small balanced doses throughout your day.  This helps your metabolism work at optimal performance.  So this afternoon, I had a small snack of 1 egg, fat free cheese, a tsp of salsa all wrapped up in a tortilla.  I am also learning that eating off of smaller plates tricks your brain into believing that it actually had more than it did.  So you might notice this is a dessert sized plate so that my body wasn't looking for more until dinner time.  And of course another bottle of water (holds 3 cups of good old fashioned H20).

Dinner this evening was an interesting dish.  Those of you who know me also know that I hate vegetables and have to trick myself to eat more of them.  So this evenings dinner was easy tacos.  A can of Hormel Chili with beans, 1/2 teas of the taco sauce from the package, a few ounces of veggies from a pre-chopped mix of green peppers, red peppers, and onions.  To that I mixed fat-free shredded cheddar.  This was my main filling.  The taco shells I lined with veggies.  Then some of the mixture.  Then a little sprinkle of cheese.  Who knew I could enjoy eating healthier! lol.

And so how did your day go? Did you stay on track?
