Day Eighteen

I remembered to take my lunch today after vowing all week that I would take it. I got up this morning and had my usual bowl of cereal and coffee. For lunch, I had my cheese sandwich (from home) and water. I took the easy way out and had Taco Bell for dinner. I was not even health conscious in my choices. I had a burrito supreme and a soft taco supreme. I forgot about my soda challenge and Heath ordered me a drink. I thought he might be irritated if he spent $1.00 on water, so I knew I had to get something. All the diet drinks had caffeine, so I had to go with fruit punch, which I am sure is just as unhealthy as soda. I was careful not to drink it all. I also had some Sweet Tart bunnies for dessert.

I walked 24 minutes on the treadmill, did 2 reps of twenty with the hand weights, and did 50 crunches. I spent more time between 2.8-3.0mph than I had previously. My pedometer at work read 3722 steps.

Day Sixteen

Happy St. Patrick's Day. No green beer for me! I had my cereal and coffee this morning. Due to my early morning start-the flight left at 6:15am, I really wanted more coffee. On the way, I passed a Dunkin Donuts and had a lite latte with Splenda and an Old-Fashioned Donut. I really did not need these Calories and need to be more mindful in the future. For lunch, I had a meatball, salad, mashed potatoes, brownie, and lemonade. For dinner, I had water, lasagna, and bread. I am going to have to watch those Calories. I think I will be keeping a food diary in the near future. I walked 22 minutes on the treadmill, did 2 reps of twenty with the hand weights, and did 50 crunches. The pedometer read 2628 steps today.

Day Fourteen

Today was a lazy day around the house. I made a scrambled egg, bacon, and an English muffin for breakfast. I then did some household chores, including cleaning up the kitchen and doing laundry. I had a turkey sandwich for lunch/dinner. I need to find a way to get more fruit, vegetables, and water into my diet. I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes, did 2 reps of twenty with the hand weights and did 50 crunches. I did not have the pedometer on for most of the day. At some point I think I will have to get a pedometer that is easier to clip on to my waistband.
