I love my pep pills!

Another day, another calorie! Today went pretty well, didn't slip up and pretty much followed the meal plan that Diet to Go setup for me. Just to recap I'm on the 1600 calorie a day Lo Fat Meal plan. And while I'm down with the low calorie amount, I'm a bit hesitant as it relates to all the breads (i.e. carbs), that come along with this plan. But, since I refuse to just to give up I just going to stick with it and keep looking for results.

Workout Activity:
If you read yesterdays blog, you'll saw that I didn't take my GNC multivitamin just to see the difference between working out with the supplement and without. Felt a bit like this:

I was so fatigued and sore after my workout that I actually considered staying home. I took my multivitamin today and it was a totally different result! Even though I did start feeling a bit tired toward the end of my workouts...I was no where near as tired as yesterday...and no where near as sore.

Elliptical: 66 mins 1352 calories burned
Weightlifting: 25 mins 501 calories burned


Today's food activity:

Breakfast: Corn Muffin, Strawberry Yoplait Yogurt, an Orange, and OJ (honestly I felt th Orange and he Yoplait were a bit much, so I gave them to Ricky).

Mid Morning Snack: My Special Yogurt and Fruit Power snack (if you're interest in the contents, hit me up and I'll give you the skinny).

Lunch: Chick Pesto Sub, it came with a pudding cup, and a pineapple cup. Very good lunch, I nixed the pineapple cup as it seemed a bit overkill calorie wise.

Afternoon Snack: Peanut Butter crackers and 100 calorie Cookie Pack

Dinner: Mac-n-Cheese with broccoli, and carrots. Mac-n-Cheese was suprisingly good...so good that Ricky was nibbling off of my plate! Was a bit hungry so I had a serving of the pesto chicken they cooked for dinner as well an additional serving of broccoli.

I'm considering a small desert...but I think I deserve it!!!

Tip of the day:
Just because you're dieting doesn't mean you can't have the stuff that you like. It's just about moderation, and working out on a consistent basis. Myself I try to workout at least 5 times a week, sometimes 6, and I allow myself a bit of freedom on weekends. Always keep in mind, it takes 3500 calories to either gain or lose a pound. And while I do count calories, not everyone likes this method. So if you're not going to count calories, at least be calorie aware (have a general idea in the amount of calories you're ingesting or burning).
