A busy weekend

On Friday I was down 0.2 kg. I did a lot of cardio exercise in the morning, snow shovelling in the afternoon, and was feeling good, considering I received bad news about a death in the family the night before. That's another story. My dinner was my "fun" night ... 2 beers (1 was light), 2 slices of pizza with meat and veggies on it, 2 brownies (that I made), 2 pieces of cheesy garlic bread and breaded chicken twists. So worth it! No night snacking after that.

Saturday (yesterday), I went to the gym and spent 1 1/2 hours lifting weights, walking the track and jogging on the treadmill. My incline was 4.5%, maximum heart rate 178 bpm. My target is 111- 148. What happens if I go over? My steady heart rate was within the high end of my range, closer to 155 though. Breakfast unfortunately was a granola bar and lunch was 2 slices of leftover pizza. I didn't eat again for several hours until dinner but drank plenty of water.

Dinner: hamburger (NO BUN), slice of bacon, mustard, garden salad with a little Guk sauce on the side, 1/3 potato made into home fries with NO SALT.

Evening: slice of apple cheesecake, 2 shrimp with seafood sauce, handful of whole grain (gluten-free) crackers with seeds in them and brie, glass of wine, butterscotch martini, couple of rum & Diet Cokes so all low calorie drinks at a party.

Today is Sunday. Not in the mood for much. I need some down time after a busy week. House work has been done daily this week. Kids need reminders to keep up with things. We have a viewing to attend to later. I have managed to do 14 days straight of exercise and watching what I eat carefully. I noticed in pictures I've gone up and down ... wondering what I did before to go down. I don't think it was this intense. I have to do some form of exercise today.

Breakfast: banana and water - for now. Not in the mood to eat. I know bananas are "bad" in a way but whatever. It's fruit so better than a couple of slices of toast, right?
