I had a great day today with exercising and eating low fat! I spent an hour on my treadmill today and burned about 450 calories! I ended up walking a total of 15 minutes and running 45 minutes. My heart rate monitor kept me in my fat burning zone and I felt awesome! My feet were hurting mildly but I figured that much be just from the new shoes, as soon as I stopped and took my shoes off my feet felt just fine. I love work outs like these, I feel so fantastic afterward! My oldest son was up most of the night and my youngest woke up only about 2 hours after I finally got to bed so Ive been dragging all day. But now at nearly 8pm I feel like I can take on the world. Exercise rocks!  My heartrate monitor said I burned almost 500 calories! Thats awesome! Today I really watched closely to what I was eating. I wanted to keep my calories from fat below 10-15% I think I did pretty good. This is what I ate today:Cereal, banana and skim milk. We were out of cheerios so I snagged the kids cocoa puffs….I totally forgot how GOOD those are. Full of sugar and cocoa…how can you go wrong?! Yep again I know my nomination for mom of the year will not be in the mail!I had a few bites of cottage cheese and strawberries today for snack, I just wasnt digging it, it didnt seem ‘right’ for lunch I had a bagel and skim milk and an apple. My husband brought home these little Easter gummy lifesaver candies and threw one at me when he walked in the door. I swear he is pure evil. I ate a couple but gave most of them to my son. The other day he came home with peeps and mini Cadbury eggs,evil! Did I mention my husband is evil (and thin)?! I took them off of the kitchen counter and shoved them into the cupboard where he keeps all his ’stuff’ I havent eaten any! Now if he brought home a dove truffle egg I might just have to shove it down his throat so I don’t eat it first! Okay…end rant! For dinner I made the family this super yummy high fat looking pizza and I had a Healthy Choice meal. It was their Traditional Turkey Breast it had turkey, gravy, stuffing, mixed veggies and a tart cherry pie filling type desert. It was really tasty but not filling at all. It has 300 calories and 4 grams of fat which is just 12% calories from fat. I think this would be a marvelous lunch if you aren’t super hungry. I ate a banana afterward too.
