Rep Power: 13 | | | Day Seventeen 7-15-08 Hey Grits,
Good luck with your mom too...mine won't return any phone calls and I even tried going over. She wouldn't answer the door. I'm giving up for now. :/ Breakfast: none...not feeling good. Lunch: Kashi frozen meal= sweet and sour chicken. 18 grams of protein. 3.5 grams of fat. 320 calories. 6 g. of fiber. 2%cottage cheese, blueberries, grapes, handuful of Kashi Go Lean Cereal. Water to drink. Snack: 1/4 cup of Kashi Go lean cereal. blueberries. whole milk (at someone else's house and that's the only milk she had.) 1 slice "cinnamon raisin Ezekiel Bread" 1 tbl. natural peanut butter.
Used my friend's exercise bike: 4 miles. 16 minutes. weight exercise: 5 pound hand weights
I loved it!! and it went by sooo much faster than the treadmill. I'm going to talk it over with hubby about saving up for one.

Rep Power: 6 | | Fitday totally surprises you with how much you eat. I thought I was eating like 1400-1500...but i was eating like 1800!!! I was like omg.
Exercise bike is fun! I use it sometimes to switch it up from the treadmill. I think it's good to go back and forth between running/other type of cardio. Have you tried the elliptical? I didn't think I saw it in there reading back through your diary. I loooove me some elliptical!
You're doing great and fitday helps a ton with the calorie management! |

Anyway, big eye opener... Didn't do incredibly bad but I haven't even eaten dinner yet and it just seems like a lot when you really keep track of it! | Dinner: Me and Hubby and our little boy went out to eat. We decided on Apple-bee's since they have the low calorie menu and I would know exactly how much I was eating. I ordered the Tortilla Chicken Melt= Whole Wheat chicken wrap with chicken,veggies,reduced fat cheese, and fat free ranch dressing. Grand total of 450 calories...BUT I only ate half. Go me. 225 Calories for dinner. I got a glass of ice water with lemon....I did sneak a couple of my son's fries. I was going to order him some apple sauce but forgot..:/ |

You're doing great and fitday helps a ton with the calorie management! | I know! I was totally surprised about the calories! It's def. a helpful tool. I cannot wait to get my exercise bike!! I'm pretty much working on having a home gym. I already have a treadmill and as I'm typing this I found out that my mom-in-law is GIVING us her weight machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has a few hundred pounds of plate loaded weights! I am sooo excited  I guess the next machine I buy after the bike will be the eliptical...if I'll have the room! Maybe after I lose 20 lbs. I'll save up for one. |

Diet Green Tea Dinner: Kashi frozen dinner: Sweet and Sour Chicken- 320 calories 18 g. of protein. 6 g. fiber.
1 strawberry, 1 banana, couple blueberries, couple blackberries, 3 cherries, 1/3 cup of high fiber cereal on top.
After dinner: part of a weight watcher's ice cream bar....it was tooo sugary tasting, so I didn't finish it. I ate some almonds and a couple bites of spaghetti from the fridge...munchies! O_o Exercise: Learned some new hand weight exercises today and did some of those-mostly working triceps,shoulders, back. Did 80 situps and 15 push-ups. Lunges.
Should have done some walking but I've been exercising my brain all day, reading through a lot of the sticky threads. Learned some great stuff. Information overload...
