OK, drove the girls to school - zero calories. :p
Went to the gym and ran 0.75 miles, then did 20 minutes on the elliptical with the height at 10 and resistance at 6 (lower than I normally do, but I went for an hour yesterday, so I wanted a little bit lighter elliptical today).
The workout calories are on my heart rate monitor, I will try to get those edited into the blog later.
For breakfast:
Veggie egg white fritata - 1 medium onion, 1 green pepper, 3/4 cup egg white (eggbeater stuff), 1 tablespoon butter (no salt)
Big ass coffee - 0.5 oz half and half, 4 Splendas
I have not added up that calories yet, but I figure them to be around 250 for the fritata, and about 75 for the coffee. I am totally stuffed.
Lunch was some Tom Yum soup with chicken. Also some basil chicken, a little bit of rice and some noodles. I skipped the egg roll and the satay for lunch. I did use the peanut and sour sauce with lunch. Probably around 600 calories.
I am going to bring 3 carrots to eat on the drive home from work, so that I am not totally starving when I get home. Last night I made 3 days worth of turkey chili for the missus and me, so that is the plan for dinner tonight - turkey chili and a mountain of produce.
EDIT: Overnight I was borderline bad - 1/2 PBJ, handful of potato chips.
Today is a tricky day, time-wise. I am actually going into work early: 11:30. Don't hate me, that is actually early for me. But I drove the kids to school, worked out, cleaned the kitchen, made breakfast, got lunch packed up, wrote my blogs, got showered and changed and got on the road by 10:40 (this last part is kinda hypothetical, since I'm still writing, all that stuff is in the future). But the real issue is balance. Trying to balance work, kids, home, diet, exercise, hobbies (I totally wanted to log in to World of Warcraft this morning to get stuff done on my priest-character (that is a healer, not a religious thing)), the dog, the weather, etc etc. But people tend to do only two things: stuff that they like, and the stuff that will prevent stuff that they HATE. What about fitness? Frankly, I don't like being fat, but it would be tough to say that I HATE it. I sure don't like going to the gym. So where does that fit. Traditionally, it fits in at the very back of the line, the bottom of the list, and usually that stuff does not get done. Finding balance for me means doing everything on the list. The trick for me, is to make a really sharp list and stick to the goal of getting 100% done.
Blogging today was a goal, but now I'm like 10 minutes late getting in the shower so that I can get to work on time. Balance is not easy. It pretty much sucks. But it does give me something wonderful to complain about!
Singing off and heading for the shower . . .
