Day 31--Officially 1/3 of the Challenge Complete

This morning it was so much easier to get up and go to the gym. For some reason Wednesdays are a really busy day--the parking lot was more full and there were more people on the machines. I guess all those people who put off going Monday and Tuesday start to feel bad by Wednesday.
About 15 minutes before I was done exercising a woman got on the machine next to me. Apparently she had not brushed her teeth and still had bad morning breath. Probably not a big deal except that when you are exercising you breathe harder!! Brush your teeth or at least hit the Listerine strips before going to the gym, please!
Okay, I'll step down off my mouthwash box. ;)

Monday I did something that is really turning out helpful this week. I made salad and then divided it into 4 Ziploc bowls; I measured out beans into 4 bowls; and I measured out 1/2 cup of yogurt and 1/2 cup frozen fruit in 4 more bowls. So for lunch each day I just picked up my 3 bowls and threw them in my lunch bag. I read somewhere recently that dieters who eat the same thing everyday for 1 or 2 meals do the best at weight loss. Yay!
I usually eat a full cup of yogurt but I thought cutting back to 1/2 a cup with fruit for a snack would save 70 calories and it's still plenty filling!

Mmmm. I've run into similar things while on the elliptical and it is not fun to have to deal with bad breath or body odor from others while trying to keep the oxygen coming. :)

Way to go on the pre-packing and you're getting me hungry....I think I'll go make my yogurt and fruit combo soon. :)

With Love,
