Badger Game walking fun!

Congrats to Badgers! Good basketball game for Wisconsin. How about that coach calling timeout with 8 seconds left to coach the kid dribbling into a possible 5 second call. Ryan is a great coach.

Walking was tough tonight, it was like walking up hill all night. Energy is a little down, need to find a few energy foods. Ate a little light today. Coming into the weekend, need to stay focused at the next goal. Hit the 215 mark for end of February, now 210 needs to be the next mark at a pound a week. Time to go shovel the 6 inches of snow we got.

Food intake:
1/31 - Breakfast bar, 100 cal cookie, slice of french toast, turkey sausage patty, milk, chicken fried rice, wine

Step tracking
1/31 15000

Not all steps; what you eat?

After a walking for 20000 steps, the daily weigh-in increased by .6 pounds. Guess need to watch what you eat. Need to eat more than I did yesterday. Missed lunch because of meetings at work and likely ate my dinner too fast. Slow down an let the food start the digest process. I have been doing that for the most part, however yesterday I was hungry.

Walked for the entire Marquette game to log 20000 steps yesterday. Not sure if it helped, so going to pace myself. Walking tonight at short intervals 2 miles at 7pm; 2 miles at 8pm; 1 mile to finish at 9pm.

Food intake log:
1/29 - 2 90 cal breakfast bar, 1 100 cal cookie, 2 coffee, turkey, potato, peas, wine
1/30 - oatmeal, breakfast bar, 100 cal cookie, coffee, chicken fiatia, rice & beans, carrot cake, 3 beef tacos, soda, 2 100 cal snack bags

Step log:
1/29 20000; 1/30 15000

Head start helped some

Even after getting a jump start on the weekend still gained...have to watch the food intake and push a little harder on walking for this coming Superbowl weekend.

Lots of walking this weekend to keep on pace. Walked during Wisconsin game tough loss...walked after dinner (at LaPerla) with some friends, did not get to see Marquette win was at dinner. Sunday went to movie and mall. Steps were tough to come by. Had 3700 steps at 6pm and as you see in the log finished the day with 18000. Walked for about 7 miles Sunday night. Just trying to keep up with Mom. Not sure where she is at with challenge.

This mornings weigh proved to hit the January milestone of 215. Need to hit the 210 by middle of February. Once the hill slides down, maybe it will be a little easier.

Food intake:
1/26 - bagel, 90 cal bar, coffee, O.J., bit of banana, chili, coffee, 100 cal cookies, margarita, chicken enchilada, rice, beans, nachos, martini
1/27 - orange juice, cheese & green pepper omelet, coffee, popcorn & soda (movie), chicken, carrots, broccoli, potato (too many), peanut butter & honey sandwich, milk
