going to the gym alone!?!?

1. Eat out less then 20 meals:  No meals out again!  5 total meals out.  

2. At least 25 days with a 750+ calorie burn:

     Breakfast: oatmeal w/milk, brown sugar & banana = 310 calories

     Lunch: apple, greek yogurt & smartfood = 301 calories

     Dinner: chicken, broccoli, zucchini & tortellini in pesto sauce = 380 calories

     Snacks: frosted mini wheats and cheddar rice cakes = 270 calories

     Totals: 2496 burned - 1261 eaten = 1235 total burned, 5 days total.

Joe and I decided to use the basil from our farm basket to make pesto again.  We went a little overboard and ended up having to keep adding other ingredients to use up the sauce.  When all was said & done it was still a little heavy on the sauce but not too bad. 

3. Complete 1250 fitness minutes:  I am so proud of my workout on Friday!  I have been skipping a lot of training runs lately and I'm really getting down on myself about it.  The weather report was calling for strong storms so I knew I couldn't exercise outside but I was also bummed because Christina wasn't in town for group power.  I decided to just suck it up and go by myself, I know I'm shocked too!  I started with a 2 mile run on the treadmill but I forgot to up the time so I ended up doing the last 0.10 off the clock, lol.  Then I took group power!  It felt really great and I was impressed that I wasn't particularly tired after 80 minutes of exercise!  173 minutes total.

4. Walk at least 10,000 steps for 25 days:  Even after 80 minutes of exercise I was still under my goal for the day.  Once the weather let up a little Joe & I wandered over to the ShopRite area and looked at the sale items & flowers out front.  That took care of it and I was able to rest easy.  10141 steps.  5 days total.

5. At least 20 days with 30 minutes of house work:  Joe and I did some cleaning during our marathon cooking of dinner.  5 days total.
