Breakfast:

Lunch:

Snacks

-1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese

Dinner:

-crab salad: baby spinach, arugula, basil, lump crab meat, onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar

-two slices french bread

Beverages:

-1/2 glass white grape juice (blech, too sweet!)
-4 glasses water

Exercise: went to the gym this morning and did 20 minutes of cardio (I would have done more but I would have been really late to work). Tonight: the PT came over and tonight's goal was CARDIO.  I ran up and down the stairs in my apartment building (3 floors) TEN TIMES.  Four times with weights.  If that won't get your heart rate up, I don't know what will.  I finally got ahold of a exercise ball.  There's lots of cool stuff you can do but you need good balance.  This week's work out goals: 3x cardio, 4x 25 sit-ups.

Notes:  feeling good although I feel like I've hit a plateau already.  The scale keeps saying the same thing in the morning.  I'm not gaining, so that's good.  I feel great and already it seems like my clothes are feeling just a tad bit better.  Maybe it's muscle mass?
