Tonight's Workout (1/19/05)

Better.

It snowed today and around here the rule is "If you don't have to be on the road then don't be". I take that advice to heart when it comes to snow around here. So, instead of going to the gym I went to Target and bought the Tae Bo 3-Pack. I figured if I have to workout at home I wasn't going to do another night of Slim in Six. The first DVD, which is the cardio one, didn't work so I have to exchange it tomorrow. But the Flex DVD focused on 40 minutes of strength training.

Cardio/Strength Training
--40 minutes (Tae Bo Flex)

It was OK. But I really needed more Cardio this evening. The Vegas are threatening to do another run on Saturday. I haven't run since the last time we went out. I sort of knew the weather would impact my training program. So, I'm hoping the roads will be better by tomorrow.

Things I should not have eaten today:
- Club Crackers. (This is the last time I'm going to write this, because Club Crackers will be implied unless I start keeping a list of things I didn't eat today.)

Overall my eating habits have improved greatly. I'm currently eating a salad w/grilled chicken for dinner. I no longer seek out the vending machine. No more potato chips, candy, cookies or fast food. I chew gum and sip water during the day. Although I do tend to graze late at night, it's all healthy; mostly almonds, Swiss cheese cubes and of course Club Crackers.

I have one low calorie desert that I enjoy which I will share with you.

--1 low fat Graham cracker (with or without cinnamon)
--1 large marshmallow
--1 tablespoon fat free cool whip
Break the graham cracker in half.
Place the marshmallow between the 2 halves and place it in the microwave for 11
seconds. The marshmallow will expand. Remove from microwave immediately. Press
graham crackers together to flatten marshmallow while it's still hot. Plot whip
cream on top and voila a delicious treat at only 145 calories, 1.5g of fat and
1g of fiber.

Well, I hope I can get some running in tomorrow. Or else I'm back to the living room workout. :-(

- Talk to you later.
