Day Thirty-five

Here we go again:

Breakfast: Egg sandwich, banana, and 20oz of cold water.

Snack: Greek yogurt w/almonds.

Lunch: Remembered the soup today.  Organic Split Pea Soup from Trader Joe's.  Quite excellent and delicious.  Here's the break down from the back of the can: Serving per can 1.5, calories for the whole can 150, 0 fat, sodium 570, carbs 19, fiber 3, sugars 4, protein 7.  Those numbers are for a serving so other than the calories add half again to see total for the whole can.  I also supplemented it with some broccoli and cauliflower.

Snack: Apple w/peanut butter.

Dinner: Salad with quinoa, asparagus, cottage cheese, tomato, and 7 thin slices of deli roast beef.  I also added salsa for dressing.

I went to the gym tonight and did 20min rowing, 12min on the recumbent with sprints, and 8min on the treadmill, for a total of 40 minutes of cardio.

Here's another trick I'm using to keep me motivated to go to the gym.  I have a calendar posted to the wall of my bedroom.  On the calendar I will write "gym" or "bike ride 50 min" whenever I do a workout.  I can at a glance see if I've been good or if I'm slacking off.  It's not a punishment if I don't work out but this way I can see what I've done for the month and how often I actually did something other than nothing.  It's an encouraging visual that keeps me going.
