Tonight's Workout (2/2/05)

Pretty Good.

Because I was meeting a friend for dinner, I wanted to get in a good, yet quick workout. So, I went to step class. I say "pretty good" because I still don't do any propulsion moves, but tonight I only took 2 breaks. I really pushed myself to stay with the class. This isn't that hard, but it can be challenging especially when my feet start to get tired.

Cardio:
- Step Class (50 Minutes)

After class I met up w/ one of my best friends, Doug. We went to the Cheesecake Factory. I ate the free bread, but only the dark brown ones w/ oats around the crust. Then I ordered the Herb-Crusted Salmon salad. The salmon was steamed and served cold and the salad was the healthier field greens like leaves and grass instead of lettuce and cheese. With the diet Coke as my beverage of choice, I'm guessing my dinner was fairly healthy, but then came dessert. This place is known for it's cheesecakes and Doug is a big guy w/ a sweet tooth, so he ordered this hunk of chocolate cake called a "Mud Pie". It was huge and covered w/ ice cream, whip cream, almonds and chocolate chips. I stuck to my promise of no cookies, candies, or cake and luckily I don't care too much for chocolate. So I snacked on the ice cream and whip cream. Yummy but rich.

Things I shouldn't have eaten today:
- Toppings from the Mud Pie

Since I'm back on the lovely Weight Watchers plan, I have to be really careful about what I eat. Everything has points and I'm only suppose to have so many points in one day. It gets frustrating when I have to figure out how many points are in something that's not listed in the book. So, most of time I over guesstimate. But at least I'll be making better food choices. Like I found some cheese and crackers that are very low in points to replace my Swiss Cheese and Club cracker fetish, which is actually high in points.

I'll be in the gym tomorrow hopefully. Wish me luck I'll be on the treadmill.
