Day 26: Happy Birthday Mom!

Today was my mother-in-law's birthday. We spent the day shopping at Sam's Club, Walmart and Albertson's. That alone probably would have been enough of a workout since it took us the better part of four hours. But I came home and jumped on the treadmill as well. I'm not entirely sure how well I did on my workout today because I accidentally pulled the kill switch! I lost all the information on how far I'd gone, timing, calories, etc. I think I was at about 35 minutes so I did another 15 to make it to about 50 minutes. I think I went about 3.5 miles and burned somewhere around 400 calories. It was about my normal workout. I wasn't able to push to do 5 minutes of jogging at once but I still managed to do 2. I think I jogged for about a total of 16 minutes. Still pretty good I think. :) My legs hurt so much today. :( Hope I sleep well tonight.

I did well on my diet today. One tiny "slip up" if you want to call it that. I had said initially that I didn't want to drink any sodas but I was so thirsty at Walmart that I gave in and got one. The reason I'm not going to beat myself up about it is that it was a diet, caffeine-free Coke. No calories, carbs, not even the caffeine that gets my heart racing and making me feel crappy. I still don't plan on making a habit of consuming too much soda. Even the diet stuff can't be that good for me. Here's what I ate:

BREAKFAST:
-mushroom & cheese frittata
-s.f. pink lemonade

LUNCH:
-Greek salad w/feta dressing, tomatoes & artichoke hearts
-tabbouleh
-gyro meat
-1 dolma
-1 bite falafel
-diet, caffeine-free Coke

DINNER:
-taco salad w/ground beef, iceberg, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, sour cream & a few crushed tortilla chips
