a little over 20 minutes on the Wii today including 2 adv step aerobics, yoga, strength training and some balance exercises.

I kind of ramped my protein intake up the last couple days with around 200g on Friday and a bit more than that on Saturday. I've also tried to increase the nutritional content of my salads by adding slices of fresh green peppers and cauliflower to go along w/ the spinach leafs, reg lettuce, sunflower seeds, egg whites, low fat cheese and snow peas.

I did notice the sunflower kernels were salted but I'm not sure how easy it will be to find them unsalted. Maybe I

Now that I've gotten my new exercise plan pretty well in hand, I've started incorporating Chad's instructions into my diet. It's been difficult because I've been working with a nutritionist so I want to blend both what she's been telling me with Chad's suggestions. My breakfast was so different from what I've been eating for years now!

7:30 am: oatmeal with some cinnamon, and a protein shake with skim milk, a banana and a little peanut butter.

10 am: a rice cake with chocolate peanut butter (from peanut butter and company)

12 pm: a turkey sandwich with an apple (this isn't processed turkey, it's fresh cut from the deli)

OK, so I'm off on my eating, I had a craving for a hambuger and gave into it, went out and had one. Now I just can't seem to get back on track, I'm not totally off track, plus I have had 3 stomaches in the last week, so the only thing that helps is sprite and saltines. On top of that I'm so depressed because I still haven't found a job. On a happier note I have been doing my workouts.

Just needed to vent!
Thanks

I ate half of my squash last night for supper, after having baked it in my toaster oven for several hours. I knew I wasn't going to have time to do that again today, so I decided to try it in my crockpot. Last night I had also made my oatmeal, there was a good bit of liquid left with the cinnamon and nutmeg seasonings. So, I left that in there, and put my squash face down in the liquid. I set the crockpot to cook on high for 2:30 minutes, then the remainder of the day it was on Warm.
