Back in the zone

So I've had the last two days off. Monday with a rest day, and yesterday with the storms. Well, this afternoon, I was wavering on hitting the gym. Then I picked up D, and he had a bad headache (his seizures are coming back which means headaches start up again). But thank GOD, he still wanted to go to the gym. So I was like F THIS, I'M GOING. I know if I stop, I'll lose my flow. And see below for how glad I am that I went!

Food: I had some sandwich crackers and applesauce for breakfast. Lunch was a small turkey bacon sandwich from Schlotzskys and two oatmeal raisin cookies. For a snack I had some almonds. Dinner was Chick Fil A nuggets and a side salad with ranch to end my day at 2182 calories. It doesn't seem like much huh?? A lot of that was the regular ranch on the salad...and I know there was mayo on the sandwich. But that's ok.

Workout: hopped my butt on the Precor elliptical and rocked out 30 minutes!! Hell yeah! That's 579 calories burned! I also noticed I'm getting faster. At 25 minutes on Sunday, I was at 2180 strides, and my stride count today at 25 minutes in was 2527. So without even trying, I'm going faster. This rocks! I also did 20 minutes on the treadmill at an easy pace to stay moving while my heart rate came back down after the ellip and stretch out my legs.
