Lunch, Workout, Dinner, Workout

I've had an exciting day of getting back on track with fat burning and eating right.


For lunch, I grabbed a Steak & Cheese Melt, one of the frozen lunches.


It was rather good and, after taking some time to let my stomach settle and catch up on some of the news, I headed to the basement for an afternoon workout.

Polar HRM
Calories Burned: 1443
Max Heart Rate: 179
Avg Heart Rate: 143

So that was a good workout, and I headed up to grab dinner.


For dinner, I once again had the Chili with Beans, which I've enjoyed.


For sides, I had some celery (unlimited vegetable), light ranch dressing (fat), a mini bagel (carbohydrate) and some strawberries (fruit).  I decided to save the strawberries to eat with dessert.


Dessert was an ice cream sandwich, because I realized I'm getting food order next week, and I've been so stingy with my frozen food consumption that I still have quite a few of the desserts left to me.  I fear we may need to set up the extra freezer we have in the near future.

Following dinner, I headed upstairs, refilled my water bottle and jumped on the balance board for a few hours.

Avg Heart Rate: 140

Once again, I'm showing a marked increase in numbers from the Wii to the HRM, which I tend to trust a bit more (because I want to believe I'm working that hard).  There ARE about 15 minutes on there where I had to either run to the bathroom or answer an email, but I kept my heart rate over 130 when I did.

Tonight: the Reach Beta is over, so we'll probably either play some classic Halo 3 or possibly some Versus mode in L4D, maybe even go wild and try and beat some of our personal bests in ODST Firefight.  I'll be joining late because of a desperate need for a shower post evening workout.
