Beverages 1 cup coffee w/sweet n low, 57 oz water, Strawberry daiquiri
Exercise Nada. just the walking through the store for grocery shopping
Total Calories: 1320-1400. Didn't do as badly as I thought I would though! Go me!! Gotta exercise tomorrow though!
Today is also the superbowl and I know we are going to have some things during that aren't too good for me. Including a Daiquiri and queso and chips etc. SO, I'm watching my caloric intake early on to offset hopefully! Plus, I hope to get in a good 3 miles on the treadmill today!

I got up this morning and checked the scale and was unhappy to see it was 1.2 lbs more than yesterday, so that kicked my butt into gear! I'm pretty sure I did a good job at counting my calories because I was writing everything down, multiplying and dividing etc.
I'm thinking I might try to get on the machines tonight and do some strength training, or do my calisthenics workout since I haven't started that yet.

dont worry about the 1pound gain you will have worked alot of it off on the treadmill and now that you have your calorie amounts sorted you will be able to settle into a routine for your body.
running tomorrow morning dont forget

Yes, Sophie, I started a day early per se, but I can't commit to do it everyday since I don't know what my days are going to be like MWF. So, I'm stuck to a firm commitment T/Th and when I can MWF before breakfast and when I can't, after work etc.
I gotta get back to the books though. I am reading Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and unfortunately it's not the translated to modern English version, so it's taking me a while.

I'm trying to get on the treadmill in the morning also. I've set my alarm for 445 am, but have only actually woke up once to do it. I need the motivation to just get out of bed and run. That one time I did, I felt like the nergizer bunny. Maybe I should just wear my workout clothes to bed...I'm going to try that challenge also.

Well, I'm 12 calories up from the 1324 cals that I should be at, and that is only if the.....nevermind. I didn't finish my muffin today, so I'm probably right at or just under the calories for all foods except I'm not sure about that low fat cappuccino. Hmmm. Maybe I should cut those out until I can come up with the caloric value.
