Food Diary, Day 49: In the trenches

Movement:  Debra Mazda's Beginning Step DVD.

I lasted 25 minutes out of 45.  I wanted to quit in the first 5!!!  I did not know how hard step is.  Propelling my bulk up and down, not to mention keeping up with the feet so that I don't trip, is an extreme challenge.  That said, I am sold!

Yes, I was a pathetic mess, but I can see how if I worked at it, I could do it one day and wow, wouldn't I be something!!!  I want to buy this DVD (I borrowed it from the library) and use it to challenge myself.

Debra Mazda is just a regular lady (size 12) and believes that you can be fit at any size.  The DVD is 45 minutes long, so I knew I would not be able to do it all the first time.  I've not gone that long just walking with Leslie Sansone.  I also think my step is a bit challenging because it is twice the height of the one used in the DVD and it came with two risers. 


Breakfast:  I bought a cheaper protein powder (whey).  It has the same amount of protein as the Shaklee, just a different kind.  The Shaklee was soy and tasted a lot better, but at $50 a can, it is not affordable.  I was blessed to get those 2 cans for $10. Now it is time to get real.  :-)  So I had 8oz. of skim milk with the protein powder and my coffee.

Lunch:  2 eggs, spinach, and mozzarella cheese all in a flax seed tortilla, and a banana.

Snack:  air-popped popcorn

Dinner:  Rotisserie chicken (no skin), small baked potato with non-fat sour cream, chives, and a bit of butter, corn

Treat:  a small serving of slow churned mint choc. chip
