Ahh Friday afternoon....verrrrry nice...hopefully the weekend will be relaxing and fun =) I'm hoping to do some form of an exercise class this weekend but we'll see if that actually happens! I'm still sticking to the plan and clocked in about 40 minutes of the ellipitcal trainer today which actually flew by...followed by about 15 minutes of upper body work. I'm not really sure how much I burned, and every "exercise calorie counter" website I went to told me something different, so since I didn't use an extremely hard level, I'm going to say about 200 calories, and as for weight lifting around 50. Bringing my total to aprox. 250 calories burned.
Here's what I've eaten so far today...
BREAKFAST: oatmeal(150) made with 4tbsp fat free half&half(40), peeled&sliced pear(100), and bit of PB (aprox. 60cal) So breakfast was around (350 calories total)
PRE-GYM SNACK: 1 slice light rye bread with 1tsp PB and a tiny bit jelly (100cal)
POST GYM SNACK: Half of a Cherry Pie Larabar (pictured) which was vvverrry delish and I definitely reccomend it! (100 cal)
LUNCH: Caesar Salad w/ Grilled Chicken and Parmesan cheese (no croutons!) and a slice of whole wheat bread (aprox. 300 cal)
Next, we move on to Matthew McConnnashamagday (too difficult to spell), who is one nicely toned hunk of a man, but looks so desperate for hydration he's about to lick the sweat off of his own greek god of a body. Actually, Erin would probably gladly do it for him.

Something Sweet: 3/4 of a medium sized apple, heated in the micro for about a minute, with 2 tbsp 2% Fage and a sprinkle of Fiber One Cereal. (150 cal)
So in total, I've had about 1,000 calories today, and burned about 250 calories, making my "net" total about 750 calories. That seems a little low but I'm sure I'll be making up for it later =)
My internet search inspired a new search, self-titled "Funny Pictures of Doofy People Working Out". Here are some results.
We start with this young woman, who is entirely too excited to be suspended in mid-air.

Thirdly, here is an exhibit of what you can typically expect doing exercise while on acid and/or pretending it is the 70's.
The fourth picture is not so much funny as it is mesmerizing to look into a sea of aerobicizing woman wearing more of a variety of colors than you can find in a Crayola box.
And, lastly, no ridiculous exercise picture collage would be complete without the one, the only...
Have a great weekend! I'll be back later tonight PERHAPS for another post,
