Eating and Exercise/Activity jan. 2009
1.5.09
Feel bloated; definitely ate and drank too much since new year’s (the pictures show it)!
I am thinking that at first I need to add more core exercises to my wkts. For the last several months, I have been doing more cardio but not much core. I have been doing some upper body workouts, and once per week I did jumps and power stuff too.
I need to increase the time in the gym and the number of days too.
Food:
Oatmeal with mixed nuts from Starbucks
2 black teas
Small new England clam chowder soup from Hale & Hearty (probably too much milk and salt)
1 apple
2 beers with friends on the way home
Huge bowl of veggie soup with cauliflower, carrots, onions, garlic, 2 kinds of beans
Big salad: mixed greens, onions, different peppers, cucumber, carrots, low fat dressing mixed with salsa; plus veggie burger with melted cheese on top.
2 glasses of wine
Total about 2 quarts water
