Thanks Tammy for visiting!! Yes, it was the swiss miss hot chocolate too. I was looking for something that would fill me up but only minor calories. Hot tea does that too. i don't put any sweatener in it, it is some kind of fruit tea, but boy it fills me up for a long period of time. Something to do with being a hot fluid I am sure.

So today is going well, although not over yet. I won't be able to update tonight , will be busy later. I did not count calories today, went by feeling, I think I am ok to go. And i got all my water in!! It is hard to get the water in on the weekends especially if I go somewhere. I have to go every 20 min, my body did not get used to the increased amounts...
Breakfast: French toast made with fat free milk, fat free cream cheese, cinnamon powder, egg whites...etc.
Snack: nothing
Lunch: 1 c. homemade soup with 2 slices ww bread, 1 slice reduced fat swiss cheese, 1 orange
Snack: strawberry shake: 1 c. fat free milk, 1 c. frozen strawberries (so Yummy) only 140 cal.
Dinner: a big bowl of lettuce, tomatos cucumbers with 3 oz. baked tofu, 1 pita bread, 1 peach

Exercise: 35 min. turbo jam, 3.25 miles running, came to 750 cal. burnt.
 
A little bummed out this morning, my weight is 161.8, 1.4 lbs higher than yesterday. I know the fluctuations, but got used to seeing it going down, or at least hold not to jump up so much..
It has happened though before and I lost it by my weigh in day.
Hoping that will happen again.
Ran this morning for 35 min, 2.5 miles, 300 calories burnt.
Boot-camp is tonight.
 
Ooh, what's boot camp?

My weight is up too, but it's that time of the month. I know I didn't eat enough yesterday for it to still be up from the movie theater popcorn, but I'm doing my best to stay on track.

Dh suggested we go out for ice cream today - I said no way!!!!

It is a nick-name for a class at my gym. Surely feels like it!! A 30 min. cardio class including weights also, kicks the butt for sure. Have it twice a week, Mon-Thurs. I take my HRM with me and average burn 300-350 calories. We used to call it "spring training", then spring came and went... so now it is just Boot-camp. It is funny too, we are all sweating and huffing and puffing, bunch of girls....:)

Yeah, I think you are both right. I know I did not overdo it on Sunday, to gain 1.4 lb overnight.... LOL So I don't know why I get so discouraged every time I see something like this on the scale. And I am the first one to advise others not to weigh themselves every day... LOL. I need to follow my own advices!!
Have a great evening.
 
Had all intention to go to bed early last night, but did not make till like 11.00 pm, and then I got up to run this morning at 5.30am.
Well, I was dragging myself and couldn't really start out running.. I put the incline on 4 and speed 3.6mi/hr for 2.5 miles, then ran the last 0.5 miles, still burned 400 cal. When I was just walking I was doing upper-body exercises also a little bit to raise my heart-rate up, and it worked...
Hope everybody is having a good day.
i read a great quote in Heather's diary, i though I would post one too to lift up the spirits.

"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." Carl Bard

How did your day go?

Thanks SweatPea. My day was ok, i have been on track lately, except my pizza night but I think I made up for that in exercise the same day.
i will check out your diary now.
 
I am extremely bloated today

I think this bloating started on Monday when all of a sudden I measured 1.4 lbs more than the previous day. And it is still not gone. I know I retain water around my ovulation as well as around TOM but now it has been 3 days. I always had trouble with my cycle, it is so messed up. I wish my body just would make up its mind and this bloating feeling would disappear. I am supposed to ovulate anywhere in the next few days, and this is too early for me for water retention yet.
AAAARG it is going to mess with my weigh in day tomorrow. It is so annoying!!
 
Hey Hajni, Hope your weigh in tomorrow isn't to affected by the bloating. I hate that feeling too so I know how it is. Anyways hope your day goes great. I need to really up my exercise today as I hurt yesterday from doing so much cardio that I didn't really exercise yesterday except walking in the store as we had to go get dog food for our puppies.. lol anyways hope you have a great day. see you online soon if i can get my computer to charge for me.
