Well I guess seeing all those gym goes in the past three days motivated me to head for the gym with no protest this morning. That and the fact that I knew my best friend and I were going to a Mexican restaurant tonight.
At the gym I first used the elliptical for half an hour and even though I was dying afterward, lol, I hit the stationary bike next for another half an hour. My legs are killing me now. But it is a fun pain, lol.
I decided to have a low calorie day and save my calories for dinner. I had an Atkins bar for breakfast and a shake after my workout. I had watermelon for lunch and another shake in the afternoon.
To help staying low calories I drank lots of water all day to keep me full, about 104 oz.
At dinner I had 2 margaritas and ordered Chicken Guadalajara. Just checked the website of the restaurant we went to, but they don't provide nutrition info. So I checked other sites. Apparently, each margarita has approximately 160 calories and the Chicken Guadalajara has about 500! So today's calorie intake is about 1470 (bar 180 + 2 shakes * 160 + 3 cups watermelon * 50 + Chicken Guadalajara 500 + 2 margaritas * 160) too high. But I did burn 327 calories at the gym. So the combination is not bad.
I am hoping I can go to the gym again tomorrow, to maybe just walk on the treadmill. Or maybe I just go around the neighborhood for a quick walk. I should do something some kind of exercise and drink lots of water of course to hopefully not see a gain on Friday.
Also I am meeting my grandmother for lunch tomorrow and we have planned to do a bit of sewing in the afternoon.
