DAY 40

Wow!  I can't believe it's been 40 days since I started this blog; 40 seems like such an important number for some reason.

Normally today would be my weigh-in day, but I've decided to move my weigh ins to Thursdays from now on.  I don't really have a good reason for that; I think it's based solely on the fact that I've just liked what my scales says better on Thursdays.  

Exercise Report:

Today when I got to my spin class, I realized that Kevin wasn't there and we would be taught by a substitute instructor.  Her class was pretty good.  I think we spent a little too much time stretching at the end, but I felt like I got a decent work out.  It wasn't as fun without Kevin barking at us to fully turn up our resistance dials. 

Eating report:

1/2 Kashi granola bar
1 string cheese
2 egg whites
Annie's Cheddar bunnies
1 Apple nutrigrain bar
1/2 cup white beans--plain
2 pieces sauteed chicken
2 cups minestrone soup (includes carrots, tomatoes, white beans, celery, broth, and spices)

It was a pretty good day as far as eating and exercise goes. 

Tip for success:

Remember to branch out and try new foods and new recipes if you find yourself in an eating rut.  If you eat the same thing everyday, you will find yourself craving unhealthy foods that you used to eat.  You may revert back to mac and cheese in a moment of weakness.  There are literally thousands of healthy recipes on line.  Do a search for low carb meals and you will be surprised at how much comes up.
