The first 10 lbs Part II

I worked out today! 30 minutes total. And I ran a 1/4 of a mile at 6 mph twice [5 minutes or 1/2 mile total!]. I wanted to see what my out of shape body could do. :)

Let's see how many calories I consumed:

Nutrigrain Bar: 130
Coffee [x 2]: 150
Salad: 200
Mac and Cheese: 500
Bread: 100
Wine: 300
Ginger Ale: 120

Total: 1500

What? Wow! That's awesome!

Thank God. :)

The first 10 lbs: part I

Goal number 1: lose 10 lbs.

I'm aiming for January 1st - but I'll keep on going until I get there. I'm probably not going to post here everyday, but I'm trying to get a handle on how many calories I consume daily. Here's what today's tally looks like:

• Cinnamon bun with icing - 330
  
• coffee with cream at home - 80
  
• two mini energy bars - 200
  
• caramel machiato - 190
  
• Panera bread mac and cheese - 490 [!!]
  
• PB Asian chicken salad - 200
  
• PB wheat bread - 100
  
• Root beer - 160
  
• clementine - 30
  
• Trader Joe's orange chicken and white rice - 400
  
• coffee with cream at home - 80
  
• glass of OJ - 100
  
• 2-3 16 oz jugs of water - 0

Equals - 2360

Yeesh. And I was really trying to watch my intake today. Looks like I'm going to have to make some changes.

My goal is to be healthy; kind to myself, others and the earth; and to do all that as economically minded as possible. As it turns out, Panera Bread isn't healthy or economical. Sigh. Well, can I just say they have the best mac and cheese EVER. And it was worth it. ;)
