Hey everyone!

Food for the day here: FitDay.com - Diet and Fitness journal for allyphoe

My kid wanted to go to IHOP, so that was breakfast for us. I ended up with a Big Steak Omelette (no green peppers because I hate them, made with Egg Beaters more to save saturated fat than anything else); kid got the pancakes that come with that, plus some bacon. I was done after half the omelette, so the rest came home for my partner's lunch. I eat out a lot for work, so I'm generally pretty decent at eyeballing what I eat and figuring out a close approximation later; based on how it's sitting in my belly, I think my guesstimate might be a little low.

MIL just gave me a big bowl of watermelon.

I've got an eye of round roasting in the oven for roast beef later, and a head of cauliflower which will get about an ounce of shredded 2% cheddar. Rice pudding with frozen sweet cherries (not sweetened; sweet cherries as opposed to tart cherries) for dessert. Maybe a bag of 94% popcorn for late-night snack. ETA: I ended up with corn on the cob, rather than cauliflower, and a bowl of green grapes, rather than popcorn.

Water: 1 32-oz bottle down, and I just filled it up again. ETA: all drunk up.

Exercise: I worked in the garden for an hour or so; about half of that was breaking / hauling sod, lugging bags of topsoil and mulch, and hoeing. I wouldn't normally count that as exercise, and probably won't for the challenge. Yesterday I did about 90 minutes of Wii Fit, and I'm still sore from that (plus have a not-enough sleep + caffeine withdrawal headache), so may or may not do any formal exercise today. We'll go Wii Fit again tomorrow, though.

Hi allyphoe

I would def be counting that gardening as exercise! Sounds exhausting all that lifting and digging....bet the garden is looking good tho I love the WII and usually play olympics - the swimming one is an arm killer!

Looks like our team is doing really well so far!

Morning, Green Team!

Shoulda had a third bottle of water yesterday. Woke up all dehydrated this morning, down 2 pounds.

Food: About 5oz of roast beast, leftover from yesterday. Half a fresh pineapple. A half cup of homemade hummus. Buncha steamed cauliflower with some cheese sauce. Smoothie with 1% protein-fortified milk, raspberries, banana, ground flax. Some corn on the cob and chicken breast with soy/ketchup/ginger sauce - dinner done by MIL. Nectarine left over from my kid, who asked for some then found it too tart. A ginormous amount of roast beast, because I felt like nibbling on it. My belly is jam-crammed full of meat now.

Exercise: 120 Wii Fit minutes. That's about 4 hours of clock time, because it gives you a certain number of points (which are about the same as duration in minutes) for each exercise, but nothing for the transition time between. Did all the yoga, all the strength exercises (but not the challenge ones), two Island Laps (long jog in place), a bunch of hula-hooping, and a couple of balance games.

Water: On to the third 32oz bottle.

Water mission accomplished!
Just completed 1hr30min of workout time and I'm about to get on the bike for another half hour.
I ended up having a chicken carbonara sub from quiznos for supper so I need to go work that off haha!
So for today I've really only had the egg and cheese for breakfast and my sub for dinner. I'll probably have some cucumber and green beans for a snack in a little while.
