Ok, that's not clever, it's just dumb...anyways....Yesterday was good -- pretty much had what I said I was going to have. Added in celery and bell pepper sticks w/ NF ranch dip, and a couple slices of turkey deli meat, but nixed the evening peanut butter pretzel bar and the two fruits.
Today:
- Bfast: Peanut butter pretzel bar and caffeine-free cran-grape XS
- Lunch: grilled salmon and rock shrimp (with a butter sauce), Haitian red beans/rice and 1/8 an avocado w/tomato salad. Not so great (though it tasted great!), but the best option at a business lunch. Only ate 1/2 the rice, though!
- Snack: probably nothing - waaaaay filling lunch.
- Dinner: probably a big salad like last night - lots of veggies and treats like artichoke hearts, olives and reduced-fat feta :)
What is this thing called exercise? I think I need to start bringing walking shoes and workout clothes to work so I can get outside and move and/or use our in-house "mini" exercise room. Anyone have good ideas for on-the-go, short exercise?

your lunch sounds soo yummy. what about asking them to make it without butter??? sometimes they don't mind. and a filling lunch is always the best time to have it...yes I bring my tennis shoes and work out clothes with me everywhere. just chilling in my trunk..my advice is to walk for 1/2 of your lunch (or more) to ask coworkers and collegues to go on a walking meeting...to go to the gym on the way home, don't go home first...you'll never get there..to work out and watch tv at same time..to go do something physical with your husband...sex works :)
good job on 3 postings in a row. so nice to read from you :)
Get a jump rope! I bought one for $4 at Kmart. Its a great quick work out and burns lots of calories.
I shouldn't give advice on exercise, because I pretty much only do it on the weekends, but I think like Dawn said, doing situps or arm weights while watching tv is good. And getting a pedometer is good motivation - ask Nicole! I'm ordering mine tonight.
Oh, and Wendie's Day was clever. I get it ;)
I have been lifting weights in the morning while I am waiting for the water to boil - its not much, but my arms are feeling much stronger 2 weeks into it :)
