Good day ... physically AND food wise

This morning I started out the day with a light breakfast and a 4.6 mile walk. My husband, daughter, and I took a walk down to a local shopping center to run a few errands. This gives us all exercise AND saves us gas ($4.67/gallon here). I had a good food day, too. Here's what I had:

Breakfast: 3/4 c. cheerios & 3/4 c. nonfat milk
Lunch: turkey sandwich (2 slices 45-calorie bread, 2 slices turkey, 1 tbsp. mayo) & 2 wedges of fresh pineapple
Snack: Cinnamon Bun Carb Rite Bar
Dinner: breakfast burrito (flour tortilla, potatoes, scrambled egg & 2 whites, 2% cheese).

The burrito was high in calories so I won't have a snack tonight if I can help it. If I need something, I'll have a 10-calorie sugar free jello cup. Even with the breakfast burrito, I"m still under my 1500 cals.

I've had 84 oz. of fluids today. It's been hot, plus my daughter and I cleared out her room getting it ready for paint this week. This included moving furniture, packing up everything off shelves to moves things out, and vacuuming the carpets and walls ... yes I VACUUMED the walls!! hahaha. After 9 years of living in this house, it's amazing what accumulates on the tops of the walls from running a ceiling fan. I never realized. How gross!!!!!!! My son's room gets done the week after next.

My weight is holding steady since last week. Yesterday I got a little more serious and I'm really going to get this weight off. Cruise date is rapidly approaching. I'm also going to a convention at the end of July and I'd really like to lose a few before then, too, since we'll be going to dinner every night for 5 nights. Of course the week will include a lot of walking but I still would like to have a few extra pounds off before I go.
