Weekend recovery

I was worried about my eating over the weekend. A good friend was in town, and food options were limited, so I prepared as best as I could.

The Burger King lunch was the killer. I chose as best as I could from the menu, but still ended up with a fat-laden, 1000 calorie disaster.

Dinner was a few sandwiches of cold cuts; not bad, in and of itself, but the gracious host pushed his sweet, sweet wares on me, and I ate a canoli, a brownie and an eclair, which put consumption for the day at 3000 calories.

Sunday, I spent the day at work, went shopping and got back on track. I tried to get some exercise in: fast walk (according to my calculations, I'm getting up to 4.5mph. Not bad for having stubby legs) with medicine ball juggling (I'm really liking the tone my forearms are developing). The only problem with walking is that I'm not getting my heart rate where I want it to be. My doc says that 160 is perfect, but I'm not getting about 140. I'll need to intensify what I'm doing.

  1. Soooo sorry we put the kibosh on your eating well, hun. In our defense, we *did* try to find a deli first :). We were so hungry though. BK was fast and kinda tasty (in that nasty sooo bad for you way).

    As for exercise, you forgot to count all the arm exercises you did with the minibec. I have video proof that you did more exercise than you're letting on.

    you're doing great
