A Healthy Attitude

-
The day has drawn to and end and I did not start my juicing. I did make juice and place it in some containers for easy access. Unfortunately my planned day got shifted around practically last minute.

My day started out with a 4 mile walk, a good thing. Then chaos showed up. On the plus side, I did count calories. I had almost a full cup of rice crackers, something I rarely have. Because I rarely have rice crackers, I did a poor job of guess-estimating their calories. At the end of the day I am finding out they pushed me over my daily caloric budget by 200 calories. Not too bad, but I'm not happy with it. Lesson learned. I can have them, but in smaller quantities.

Tomorrow is a new day. I have my juice set up and a healthy attitude.

If anyone is interested in chatting with me, connecting, or just keeping an eye on me throughout the day,

Where to Purchase Shoes

My chosen method of exercise is walking. I can do it almost anywhere at almost any time. I have heard of walking referred to as the simplest, easiest, least expensive method of exercise. Least expensive does not mean 100% free. There is no charge to go out and walk around. Walking at the local park is free, but walking at local amusement park is not. Therefore, I will agree, walking can be free but not 100% free. Walking requires I wear shoes. Walking across a bare foot is not for me. Soft grass feels nice but most of the time grass feels like tiny sharp points. It may not be as bad as walking across a floor filled with Legos, but I can't walk on grass for an extended period of time. Walking on a typical street sidewalk is doable, but again, I can not do it for an extended period of time. I need padding otherwise my heal starts to hurt. Walking for me requires having a good pair of shoes. Previously I spoke about knowing if is it time for a new sneakers ? My answer was, yes. Ne

Healthier Choice, Still Over Budget

Today I did a better job than yesterday, but not by much. Overall it is a step in the right direction.  Here is the break down: + Logged all my calories using LoseIt + Consumed less calories. - Was over my daily caloric budget. + Consumed healthier food. - Had too much food. + Drank more fluids. - Had 2 glasses of diet soda. + Did some physical labor - Should have walked more, tracked by FitBit Here are some snapshots from my lunch today. The food at the Soupplantation was yummy. I would h ave had a third plate, but did not want to go further over budget than yesterday. Here is a glimpse at my physical labor. I swept a drive way and collected a can full of leaves and twigs. Getting into the gym to workout is not really an option for me, so I find ways like this to workout.

2011_0117 Counting Calories at Disneyland

-
Over the weekend we went to Disneyland. I did not take the tram ride from the parking lot to the main entrance. Instead I decided to walk. The distance from the elevator at the Mickey & Friends Parking Lot to the Check-Point where the trams drop you off is 0.60miles. I brought with me some fresh fruit and some bottles of water, in effort to curve temptation to eat too much junk food. When it was finally time for dinner, I decided I would eat at the Red Rocket Pizza Port in Tomorrow Land. I wanted to enjoy my dinner but not go crazy with the calorie count. The menu board did not have calorie counts, no where obvious where nutritional values posted either. I asked the door greeter where I could find the information. He said to ask anyone behind the counter. Including him, I asked 4 employees in there. Each would point me to the next person until the kitchen was gave me a response. "We are still collection information, so we don't have the information." That left me pu
