So tired

I am so tired tonight and have been very busy but I made a commitment to blog about my eating habits and other health related stuff so I am going to do despite my fatigue.

Exercise - 15 minutes on the treadmill, 10 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes strength training
Breakfast - 1.5 scrambled egss with cheese (no butter or oil) 1 slice of whole grain bread with a little honey, 1/2 cup of cantaloupe.
Snack: tall non-fat latte, 1 oz chocolate
Lunch: went to Tossed had about 3/4 of a turkey and cheese crepe (lettuce, tomato) with some tortilla chips
Snack - fat free sugar free gelato - yummy.
Dinner - grilled chicked with broccoli, tomatoes, mushroom and dreamfield pasta, 1 slice of bread
Snack - 1 nectarine

Thoughts - How I could have done better - eliminate the chocolate and the tortilla chips. Also, I could have made sure I had refilled my vitamin prescription. I am all out.

There, that wasn't so bad. Goodnight!

Today started out fairly well, with a good workout (27 minutes on the treadmill), about 20-25 strength training. Breakfast was good (2 egg scrambled with low fat cheese in the microwave and a too large slice of rye bread.) On the way to work I had a tall nonfat latte. Yummy. Then lunch at my parents house. Two small slices of pizza, salad and broccoli with evoo. While there I dipped into the cookie jar for two sugar free cookies. Back at work I had some yummy cherries. Work was really slow today so my boss, his wife and I went to Chick-fila, where I got a kiddie sized ice cream. I left work 15 minutes early to go to Whole Foods. While there i sampled a few items and bought a rotisserie chicken for dinner - only 7.99. Not bad for naturally raised chicken (not organic.) Once home I steamed some broccoli (oohh, twice in day) and whole wheat cous-cous. After dinner I had a a piece of the chocolate I purchased at WF. It was organic, fair trade, dark chocolate - does that make it any better for me? Probably not. I can see clearly that if I could just eliminate or at least pair down the desserts and bread I would be eating a fairly healthy diet.

Exercise: 10 minutes eliptical, 20 minutes strength training
Breakfast: 1/2 dunkinig Donuts sandwich - 5 pts. coffee w/ cream 1,
Snack: cottage cheese 1 pts
Lunch" Left over chicken sausage and peppers w/ pasta - 6pts.
Snack: peach
Temptation Toppler: I went to the vending machine with the intention of getting a yoohoo. I have not had one in years. I cam back with a bottle of water instead. I did take a small portion of a powered donut while I was in the kitchen. So it was not a total success.
