Day 2

Today I ate alright.  I could've done better with breakfast but my favorite breakfast place was closed and Dunkin Donuts didn't have the reduced fat blueberry muffin made.  So I had a small skim latte and an egg and cheese bagel sandwich.  I was surprised at the nutrition facts online, I thought it was a lot worse. 

For lunch, I had a 6 inch subway chicken breast sub, the only extra thing I added was American Cheese and I had baked lays on the side.

For dinner, I had a chicken sandwich at the diner with French Onion soup.  I could've done without the soup, but I spent 1 hour doing intense cardio at the gym and I was pretty ravenous.

I won't eat again today.

At my father's house I have about 2 weeks worth of Jenny Craig food I stored away like a squirrel.  Tomorrow I am going to get it back and when I finish it, I am going to start on the program again. I've decided I need a little bit of help again this time around.  Coupled with going to the gym, I should be set.

This week I went to the gym three times for three very intense workouts.  Tuesday was a lot of fun, I went to my other gym's location and walked/jogged for a half hour on the treadmill and then took a 1 hour BELLY DANCING class.  OMG I love belly dancing so much.  I've taken it sporadically over the past two years and I'm so glad that it's offered once a week in my gym.

Prior to Belly Dancing, I used to belong to a West African Dance troop.  I was pretty good at it (even though the closest I am to being African is Sicilian). I miss it a lot, but it was only  a class offered at my undergraduate college.  However, I attributed that class to the positive resuls the first time I lost all the weight I wanted.  (I had lost 30 lbs in one semester by eating just chicken, salads, and hummus going to gym 6 days a week with African Dance class).  

 I also miss the dinning hall at my old college.  It sounds weird, but I was fortunate enough to go to a college that took pride in having the #2 dinning services in the country and #1 in NY.  What I liked about it was that I could get certain foods I enjoyd every day cooked for me and were very healthy.  I also had a enormous salad bar available at all meals. Now that I have to fend for myself with cooking and food shopping, I'm finding it a lot easier to get off track by taking the lazy way out by ordering in. Hopefully going back to Jenny help give me the boudaries I desperately need and simulate the continuity my old college's dinning hall gave.

Wow!

Is what I have to say about your pics - what beautiful scenery.

Ok, so what is African dancing? Sounds like a great way to burn off calories!!!

Good luck to you!
