    Day 2 - just over my calories. I noticed there are a few ways I can cut such as cutting sugar from my coffee and having a smaller glass of wine. Exercise a little longer. #italladdsup

    Cleaning burns calories! Better than couch surfing :)

My boyfriend and I made a rare trip out to a restaurant for a couple of beers and sammys, so I went about a meal's worth (650) over my calories today...BUT I did make it to the gym for a nice 500 calorie burn on the elliptical and a couple hours of walking outside for a total of 976.

    25 October- had breakfast super early before work, then lunch/dinner after. Work was exercise today for me as I came home and napped when I got done :) stayed right at my calorie limit today but not terribly healthy. Lots of water though!

    Oct 26 - knowing I was going out with GFs, I hiked yesterday for an hour and a half. Tough hike so had some great appetizers and the girls! Starting week #2 - step up the exercise and watch all the little 100 calories like sugar in coffee or a handful of pistachios that puts me over.

    October 26. - flaked on exercise but did great on calories today. Hubby and I are planning our meals four days at a time and that really helps me stick to my calories. Goal this next week is to keep posting and add in four workouts.

    Nice job - hey what's gun powder green tea?

    Gunpowder green tea is a form of Chinese green tea, out of the Zhejiang province. Its a nice, sturdy green tea (not delicate, like jasmine green) and I love the flavor. Green tea, well, hot tea in general, is good for you and there are even studies to back that up! Its also a nice cool-weather drink :)
