It's Leaving!

The water is leaving, thank God! I saw a bit of happiness with the scale today, enough to make me not feel so bad about the high calorie intake I had the other day. The salt is under control again and I still eat out. I am still a believer in having what you want, without going crazy. My problem is I tend to go a little crazy (especially during high stress and holidays). I hope I can maintain, at least, during vacation. That will be the ultimate trick. Here are yesterday's stats:

May 14th, 2009

Calorie goal: 1,318; calories consumed: 1,006; calories burned: 0
Net calories: 1,006

Mood: Happy

No workout today. Slept in the nook. Hope to get one in later.

Worked out in the evening around 6:30, while coloring my hair. Used the Program 3 setting on my elliptical (20 minute interval workout, where setting 5 is the highest difficulty reached). I burned 280 calories. [edit this diary entry]

It's firm time again. I was sore for days afterward, but it was good to know what needs work. I'm thinking of interspersing the Upper Body/Lower Body DVD through the week. The muscle training is lacking with my plan right now, although I do get a good deal of resistance training with the elliptical (only lower body).
