Day 1

I went to the gym today. We joined yesterday. I did a mile on the elliptical machine and my heart rate was above 215 so I had to stop. I lifted weights...trying to keep it quick like circuits. I did bicep curls, tricep kick backs. shoulder and chest presses, overhead press. I moved to the floor for ab exercises...crunches, ball bridge, bicycles, ball squats. I did some leg machines, but don't really like them. I think I will stick with lunges and such. I did another 12 minutes on the treadmill. We wanted to swim, but the pool is closed on Wednesdays...sucks. Next time.

Food- I had cheerios with a banana and mile for breakfast with coffee--no sugar. For lunch I had pork tenderloin with some bbq sauce, roasted potatoes and a cup of strawberries. Not bad. I will have a Starbuck's dark chocolate mocha frappachino later.

Supper is curry chicken salad, veggies and possibly an english muffin.

We are meeting Juliet after class so I don't know if there will be a snack or not. We will see.

I'll bring a Kashi bar to class in case I get hungry. And a diet coke...still working on weaning off that stuff.

I don't feel too stressed today. I am still working on scheduling my day without class/schedules and work stuff. It is not as easy as I thought.
