Calories in: 1632
Calories burned: 1079

As you can see by the calories burned, I made it to the Y after work; did 30 minutes on the recumbent bike and 30 more on the elliptical. According to Univera I burned 1079; not sure about that but I'll take it. I know it was challenging at the time! I prayed that I wouldn't keel over on a machine; that would be so embarrassing!
Meals- the cereal, blueberries and skim milk for breakfast. Then, for lunch I had volunteered to eat with this week's new employee orientation group. The food was brought in, so I had to select carefully. The main course was lasagna; about a 3x3" piece, with a thick piece of garlic bread. Ate the pasta, left the bread (which of course I love, but choices have to be made). Also a small tossed green salad with balsamic vinaigrette and a bowl of fresh cut tropical fruit. Not too bad; have to expect those curveballs.
Supper was 1 & 1/2 tortilla wraps with deli turkey, sauteed red pepper strips, lettuce and sliced black olives with a cup of chicken soup. Snack was a cup of butterscotch sugar free/fat free pudding.
In addition to the planned exercise, I am parking in the furthest lot at work, taking the stairs anytime I can, and taking any opportunity to walk around the building on errands. Again, being more active in general.
As it turned out, the day started out sub-optimal but improved as it went on, as days tend to do. All was well.
I heard from a few friends who are joining me on this quest; welcome Cheryl and Scott! Join us; the more the merrier! Feel free to report your day's activities and intake in the 'comments' section; we look forward to hearing from you.
'Night! (Another benefit of eating sensibly- no heartburn when you go to bed.) :)
