Well, made it through Labor Day with 596 calories to spare for the day. I went to a BBQ, and brought some skinless chicken breasts to grill, but took a little tuna pasta salad for a taste. I even brought my own Pita Chips. They were yummy! Not even a beer today....all water. So, all in all, it was a good day.

Today was my weight training / strength training on the treadmill. I always just go by how many calories my HRM tells me I burned, so the calories match up in the CK software. Funny, but CK seems a bit more generous in the calorie burn department than what I actually burn. I'm glad I got that monitor. Now, I feel like I'm getting a truer picture of what I'm eating versus how much I'm burning, etc.

Tomorrow is a full day of work...but I plan on doing some good fat-burning cardio in the p.m., then off to see my mom at the hospital. I hope that she's better tomorrow. She seems so very sad. I think that once she's out of the hospital, she'll feel better.

Today is 85 days smoke free!!! One week from tomorrow will be my 3 month anniversary. Another non-smoking clinic starts then. I'll go meet the new recruits and bring them chocolate chip cookies Ugh, being at that BBQ today with four smokers around me was YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! I was glad to be gone, so I didn't smell the smoke anymore. Funny how sensitive I'm becoming to cigarette smoke. I'm just glad I don't do it anymore.

for now!
