Danielle's log 04.15.2010

Breakfast:
-1 piece wheat toast spread with 1 wedge lowfat laughing cow swiss cheese and 1 tsp strawberry jam, topped with 1.5 egg whites and chia seeds

Lunch:
-hummus with carrot and cucumber slices and 5 organic crackers

Dinner:
-salad with mustard vinaigrette and grilled skinless chicken breast
-1 slice of bread

Beverages:
-skim milk bubble tea with green tea and 1 pump mango syrup (as opposed to FOUR that comes on the menu)

Exercise: Did 3 flights of stairs up and down x10, 20 pushups, took a 1 mile walk at lunch, then did 18 flights of stairs in a tall building at work.  My legs are going to be sore tomorrow!

Notes:  really trying to embrace this stair climbing thing.  It gets my heart rate up super fast and then I actually feel sore in the morning.  It's a really quick way to work in some cardio on my lunch break and it's easy on my legs, which are prone to shin splints.  Plus, stairs are everywhere and stairs are free.  I like it!

  1. You are doing so good!!! I feel like I am on again off again, but I am facing the 4 month marker and dealing with routine. The scale has been bouncing around on me but staying below 132. I think right now it is due to hormonal stuff and bloating. I am looking forward to continued nice weather to keep me motivated! I really have to PUSH myself to do ab work, and I know if I can just bust a MOVE I can get through this belly fat, but let me tell you- the last bit you want to lose is the fucking hardest to budge!!!

  2. Thank you!! I think the real challenge is where you are, four months in and still trying to keep it going. You've been eating right and exercising for a THIRD of the year...WOW! I think that's the beginnings of a "healthy lifestyle that continues for a lifetime," as stated in our mission statement.

    I've been having trouble getting to the gym due to this nice weather...I just want to exercise outside. I guess that's not a terrible thing? I miss Juan, should we go see him together sometime soon?
