I'm sad to say I really haven't exercised in the past two days or so. It's all because I pushed myself too hard and didn't stretch enough before and after exercising. Also because calf muscles are of the most important muscle for exercising, ya know, being in your legs and all. and most exercising involving your legs.
I'm trying really hard today to eat healthier and to eat LESS. that is my biggest problem. snacking and portion size. Everyone has the mentality that they need to finish what is on your plate, but the plates in the dining center are HUGE. so of course, i get more cookies or breaded crap or whatever to 'fill me up' when I was probably full like 30 minutes and 3 cookies ago. I think this diet/fitness plan is going to be very psychological for me. I just need to be able to overcome cookies and sweets and their power over me. I can have them, but in small doses.
Food log

apple slices and peanut butter
a small smoothie
'spicy italian' sandwhich loaded with veggies. easy on the meat. no condiments.
over all a pretty successful day.
I went to the rec center for the first time today with my friend Katie. We walked around the track for a while. Then we went 25/30ish minutes on the elliptical. Then we walked some more. We jogged one lap. lots of stretching and water. then we got smoothies because 1. lots of vitamins. 2. SHE HAD NEVER HAD A SMOOTHIE IN HER WHOLE LIFE. i have never heard of this. this is unheard of. I was appalled and made her get smoothies on the double. Then the 6in subway sandwiches. I am very full. I almost regret having the sandwich so soon, or doing the smoothie with the sandwich. Hopefully this means It will tie me over so I won't be hungry any more for the whole night!
Feeling good
