Day 58

Oh boy, what a day! I was planning on waking up early to do my workout and shower before Emelia woke up (because I knew I had a busy day ahead) but I didn't plan on waking up as early as 6:20 am. Dad came knocking at our door at that time to let us know that Corey's car had been broken into. Why is it always us? They ripped the stereo out, got his sunglasses, phone charger and some parts to an engine hoist. All together only about $200 worth of stuff...hardly seems worth it. We had to replace the driver's side window and part of the dash. It sucks that our insurance deductible is $500...not even worth reporting it to them. And the police were no help. They said that the couldn't get prints off the outside of the car because it was wet from dew. Understandable. Then they said that it was too hard to lift prints of the dash because of the material. Sounds like another way of saying they didn't care/were too lazy to try. Guess another bad guy gets away with committing a crime. Schmucks! Why do people do that? Makes me so angry!!!

Anywhoo, enough of my vent. After everything else I had to get done today, I finally was able to get on the treadmill at 8 pm. It was a good workout. I got up to a 7% incline. I forget how far I went. It's less than when I'm jogging, obviously. I burned 521 calories. While I am quite positive that I am burning more than that, even if I only burn as much as the treadmill says then I am on track to lose a pound per week just from exercise alone. Woohoo! I think I'm liking this new walking on an incline thing. :) I wonder how it would be if I started high and worked my way back down? It might be easier that way. Maybe I'll try it that way tomorrow.

The diet went so so today. I did well for breakfast and lunch but dinner was a little iffy. Here's what I ate:

BREAKFAST:
-lo-carb strawberry yogurt
-strawberries w/Splenda
-1 1/2 cheese sticks
-Coke Zero

LUNCH:
-small lo-carb tortilla w/turkey, pepper jack cheese & mayo
-s.f. raspberry lemonade

DINNER:
-southwest salad from McDonald's (lettuce, black beans, corn, cheese, tortilla strips, breaded chicken breast & southwest dressing)
-a few french fries
-apple slices w/peanut butter
