Challenge Day 2 out of 30

Things are going pretty good so far. I accomplished a feat that I have never done before; I ran for 20 minutes straight with no stopping. Ok, so I mostly ran in place, but I still consider it a win. That is something I have never before accomplished. According to my Wii fit I ran 3.1 miles. I've ran outside and I know without a doubt that I didn't actually run 3.1 miles, but that's ok. That's not the success part of this post, the success part is I DID IT! I also worked on some core activities and some yoga (I'm a yoga trainer! go me! Lol). My balance is getting better. I only needed to hold onto my daughter's head for one of the activities. :-p. I did the single leg extensions and did pretty good with my right leg, but my left leg is a lot weaker than the right, so that is where I had to hold on to her head. I'm very proud of this. I have a very hard time with my balance, so yay, it's getting better. (And now I feel that I am rambling. lol). So, my total exercise for the day was 49 minutes with a calorie burn of 300 calories. In 2 days I've burned 608 calories. Not bad for a beginner. One day I will reach 500 calories in 50 minutes and then my next goal is 1000. I can do this!

Weight: 243.5 (YAY! I'm almost half way to my next 5lb goal!) Total weightloss of 7.3lbs

Food:
Since I usually have the same breakfast of 2 eggo nutrigrain waffles w/ 1 cup strawberries, whipped cream and 2 "fried" eggs, I am not going to post that... kind of repetitive. If I change up my breakfast then I will post that info.

Lunch I made a Chicken Salad with Grapes and Apples - from the Biggest Loser Family Cookbook
Chicken, Light vanilla yogurt, Honey Dijon Mustard, Apples, Grapes, Celery, All on 2 slices of Sara Lee 45 Calorie Bread (BEST BREAD EVER!!!).

I also had 1/2 cup of 2% cottage cheese and 1 dole peaches cup (easiest way to "measure" your canned fruit :)

Dinner was the best. Chicken Cordon Bleu (Recipe on my cooking page) with 1/2 cup of Idahoan loaded Mashed potatoes and 1/4 c brown gravy, 1 cup pickled beets and 1 1/2 cup salad with 2 tbsp of fat free Italian dressing.

Water: 96 oz (4-24oz glasses)

Exercise: 49 minutes with a 300 calorie burn. Exercise included running, yoga, strength training moves, and balance.
