Day 284

Behind again so short and sweet for the next couple of entries.  It is Valentines day and I celebrated by going to the gym after work.  It was normal at the gym until I left an hour or so later and the parking lot was empty.  Made me laugh, as usually it's still rather full of cars.  I guess people were out on the town instead of working out?  HAHA So here's how I spent the day eating:

Breakfast: Egg and turkey sandwich on a skinny bun with tomato and almond butter.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

1st snack: There were still bagels from the previous day so I had a half of a bagel with hummus on it.  Someone thought it would be a good idea to bring in some donut holes so of course I had to have some.  They're only donut holes so the 7-8 I ate don't count as full donuts, right?

Lunch: Had a hamburger on a skinny bun with tomato, an egg, cheese, and peanut butter.  Held off on the donut holes (ya me!).

2nd snack: Peanut butter Larabar and some more donut holes.

Dinner: Big stir-fry with broccoli, mini peppers, spinach, and some of the veggie meat.  I made a really big pan and so chose to use the bowl I figure is a good serving but not excessive.  So I will have some left over for later use in the next day or two.

At the gym I did the new cardio routine I've just started.  It's not that different but it's different enough.  I still warm up on the treadmill but have changed the times when I increase the speed and then on the recumbent I'm doing the "random" setting.  That setting is a no time limit random hill program that gets a bit insane at times.  It also incorporates some intervals in the deep valleys of the hills.  I go for a total of 30min using the random setting and then finish off with 5-6 min on the elliptical.  I've also learned that the elliptical needs to be on level 3-5 so my feet stay in one place plus it makes it more of a workout.
