It's the weekend, and I'm doing surprisingly well. I ate a healthy cereal this morning and a cup of coffee. Then, I mowed our lawns (which aren't exactly small, not large either, 50ft x 50ft in front and 50ft x 50ft in back. Our grass grows abnormally thick and fast. So, even with having a self propelled mower it's quite a work out to mow the laws. It took almost 3 hours to do with no breaks.
After all that work I did eat a big lunch. I ate two tuna fish sandwiches. However, my calories burned are over 3000 and my intake of calories right now is still under 800. So, even though I will probably go over my allotted calories for the day, i feel as if I'm still right on track since I've burned a lot of calories today. Plus, I'm not counting the yard work as my exercise for the day. I figure once the baby falls asleep I'll get about a 45min to 1hr workout in. So, there's going to be some more calories burned. When I got on the scale I had even lost a pound. So, I'm doing good. Plus, I'm feeling good. I do feel like laying down and taking a nap instead of working out. I guess I could do my exercise later, but I hate to do it too late because then I can't sleep since my blood is pumping so hard after my workouts. Either way, I'm doing good today. I've lost a total of 9 pounds, so I'm definitely on the right track.
