Today was a good day.
I couldnt get "in" to work until 10:30, so I got to sleep in (ha 8am!) which I promptly had a date with the new elliptical. I have these preset programs based off of what I want to do. So, I did todays program --- 20 minutes, and I went at it hard. I was a hot mess. But it felt great.
Today I received my ummm broad and generious (IMO) calorie range. Which is 1000-1700. I like to stick in the 1300-1500 range, which is what I will shoot for. Of course my daily requirement is at least 30 minutes of measureable exercise. So, like this morning, I did 1865 steps, on level 4. So tomorrow, I would need to do at LEAST one step better, I want to obviously set the bar higher! I also need to have at least 8, 8oz glasses of water daily, and 25-40g of fiber.
Well, I need to finish up some emails and get some ab work for my last 10 min of excercise in for the day!
Happy living. Healthy living.

Day UNO
My good friend Sarah told me about the FAST Diet. The funny thing it isnt really a diet, its healthy living. Anyways, Thursday evening was the first meeting, more of an informational meeting, what to do and what have you. Yesterday was the first day of "tracking" and let me tell you, its SCARY! Scary but good.
Yesterday was insane for me. I had two photosessions, had some work to get in as well. I started my morning with a bowl of Oatmeal, ps I learned not to microwave for 2 min, the package said 1-2 min and I now know 1:30 is perfect. :) Anyways 1/4 of it bubbled over.
Come 5:15, I got home and I sat down and realized I was starving! Now I didnt want to stay in, I felt like going out so the mission was to find somewhere healthy but not a salad (I had those for lunch this week!) So I found a great meal option at Olive Garden, and they had a 55 min wait. I was hungry! So we decided to do Mimi's -- I had found some decent options there too. So, by the time I got everything tallied up... the dinner was 1040 calories. Sounds nuts huh. Thankfully, I had just had oatmeal for breakfast! So, here is how it broke down -- 1/2 turkey sandwich 336 calories. Salad w/ no fat basalmic vinergarette 173 calories, the rest is the 1/2 of a roll and 1/2 carrot bread w/ 3 tsp butter, and pineapple! CRAZY.
So lesson of today -- look at your calories. You will learn a lot.
