Day 18

I didn't really have time to hit the elliptical before I left this morning. I did happen to get some lunges and weight workout on my arms in while I was doing breakfast. (no excuses kinda thing)

If shopping counts, then I got an hour of walking in. It was really nice to get out of the house...and I controlled my spending. (barely) If we are in a recession, I don't think all of those ladies at the mall know it.

Going to the mall was a good motivation. Seeing all of the clothes I would love to fit into, and all of the fit people that I would love to have a healthy body like theirs.

I do have to say, it was hard resisting those cookies and pretzels. (my mall ritual, esp when I was preggo with the sweet pea).

This diet has been challenging the last couple of days. Especially when it's close to that time. I want chocolate, and to punch people. (Really need the hubby to have time off to help with the punching bag.)

BREAKFAST

makeshift ham sandwich. 

LUNCH

~CHEESECAKE FACTORY~

1 chicken lettuce wrap. I am pretty sure the sauce wasn't dukan friendly. (I looked this up, this was probably the worse choice possible...so glad i only ate one. eh. live and learn)

1 tbs of quacamole. damn i miss mexican food

1 hamburger patty (no bun, no cheese) with pickles

side salad~basically dark lettuce and a low fat dressing

I resisted temptation of cheesecake!!!

DINNER

steak strips with red onion & zucchini sauteed in 1 tsp of vegetable oil

DESSERT
sf homemade hot chocolate

I am ready for spring/summer. I want to be outside and go hiking. This wind can suck it!
