It's days like these....

I wish I had more time in my schedule. I had a GREAT workout this morning, but it was only 30 minutes and I would have gone longer had I not had an early morning conference call. It was only 30 minutes, but it was 20 minutes of super-set weights and 10 minutes on the stair climber.

We had a team lunch out today, so I am unsure of my calories, but I am SO proud that I ate half my lunch (but all of the salad) and had a very small piece of cake. I have a vegetarian meal planned for dinner, so I feel comfortable that overall my calories will be in check today. Overall calories definitely important, but I am also just happy about an improvement in eating habits. Last night was the same. I had a friend over for dinner and I made stir-fry, and I had a very reasonable portion and did not feel stuffed at the end. I certainly hope this victory on the plate leads to victory on the scale!

Weight: 150
Exercise: 4-mile bike commute, 20 minute run with the dog, 20 minute walk with the dog, 20 minutes intense weightlifting, 10 minutes intense stair-climbing
Calories: not sure, but portion sizes are good!

That's great! I think it's especially hard to eat moderately when socializing. These half lunches and portioned stir-frys will add up (or rather, add DOWN)! Hope you have a good day today, too, and more time to exercise!
