Day 29: Another one bites the dust!

Ya, that's right baby! Another pound down! That brings me up to a grand total of 4 pounds lost. I know, it's been slow going, but I'm still losing. Gotta be happy about that. :) I have, however, decided to change weigh day to Friday instead of Monday. Weekends are a little tough...we usually go out to eat and there may be more carbs involved than I'd like. I think I'd show more results weighing in on Fridays. So this week I will have 2 weigh-ins. Hopefully the scale will budge by then and I wont get discouraged.

Today I did my usual workout. I accomplished 20 minutes of jogging out of 50 minutes total. I went a total of 3.68 miles. I burned 408 calories according to the treadmill. I found a website that I believe may be more accurate at calculating calories burned. It takes into account your weight when determining how many calories were expended. According to the website I actually burned more like 535 calories, which would put me in line to lose 1 lb per week by burning roughly 3500 calories. Now hopefully the diet will help me lose more!

Did really well on the diet today. Loving me some spinach & strawberry salad and broiled tomatoes with pesto! Who knew veggies could be so good? I've been craving those dang pickled beets too! Anyway, here's what I ate:

BREAKFAST:
-lo-carb strawberry yogurt
-1 apple

LUNCH:
-strawberry spinach salad w/pecans

DINNER:
-s.f. raspberry drink
-2 poached eggs w/mushrooms & cheese
-1 broiled tomato w/pesto
-asparagus w/margarine
-3 slices bacon
