Seriously; don't you just love Fridays? I was home today, which made it even better.
Calories in: 2006
Calories burned: 642
Net: 1364
Exercise: 3 hours of vacuuming, laundry and cleaning. Yes, I took advantage of the opportunity to do some hard-core housework; it counts! I sat around a bit in the morning and knew I had to get moving. And move I did! Now we have a head-start on the weekend, which is good.
I ate more calories being at home- it was a hungry kind of day, though all of the choices were healthy ones.
Meals: Bkfst, 3/4 cup oats cereal w/ 1/4 cup Special K granola added, skim milk & blueberries. Lunch- more leftover whole wheat/turkey spaghetti, but I ate about twice as much as I did yesterday. I tend to eat things up to get rid of them; they say 'better to waste than to waist'; but I have trouble with that philosophy. Late afternoon snack a homemade trail mix of 2c popcorn, 2tbsp raw almonds, 1/4 cup lowfat granola, and a tbsp of raisins. Dinner, a salad of romaine, 1/2 cup garbanzo's, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, 1 tbsp raisins, & 1/2 a grilled chicken breast. And my glass of red wine with my movie tonight.
I actually felt hungry for a little something more until I added up my day; that brought me back to reality, & I skipped the extra snack.
It was another lovely, sunny day, and I was able to open windows upstairs and air out the bedrooms- so nice to do again.
Looking forward to the weekend. Goal- exercise both days.
