Yay, day two of riding my (sister's) bicycle to work - and it felt GREAT! Admittedly, I didn't ride home at dinnertime - I was very, very hungry & we have no quick, easy & healthy food in the house right now, so I took myself to Applebee's for the pecan-crusted chicken salad (YUM!) instead - but I did ride there and back! I bought lights for the bike today (just as well, since it was pitch black when I came home), as well as a neon yellow vest, so no driver can claim they can't see me on the road! Ah, nothing like the height of fashion to make a real statement!
Foodwise, it's been a bit of a not-so-good day for me. I was HUNGRY at breakfast time, so had a cup & a half of cheerios instead of just a cup. Then I had a can of spaghetti-o's for lunch with 2 bread rolls (all told about 700 calories, I think), and for dinner the salad at Applebees. Oh, and I've had a 3-diet-coke day today - very unusual for me, as I generally try hard to keep to two. The flip side of all that food is that I have run like a maniac at work all day - I ended up doing a full shift instead of a short one, as the original Head Cashier is at the hospital with her niece, who went into labor today. While the store wasn't particularly busy, I seemed to have a particularly needy team today - constantly calling me for one thing or another, which worked well for me, as it kept me running from one end of the store to the other - great exercise (and no, I wasn't LITERALLY running...) So between that & riding the bike, I'm estimating that I've covered about 4 miles! Unfortunately, I forgot my pedometer today, so I don't have a more accurate guess than that, but that's my feeling...
And now tomorrow we weigh in. I'm curious to see how I've done this week - hopefully at least as well as, if not better than, last week! The 12lb goal was overly ambitious, as we all recognize, but we had to start somewhere! Watch this space for the results & for the new 2-week goal!
