Hot for Halloween - Day 18

It was Wednesday - hump day as some call it. The middle of the week (2 days down and 2 to go  until we are upon another weekend).  My day was great.  Worked as usual and as usual, that was okay.  After work, I came home, had a quick snack and headed out for a walk.  My goal was to try doing a 5K (just over 3 miles) and guess what!  I did it.  And, considering it was my first 5K EVER, I think I did pretty darn good on my time too.  I seriously had no idea how long it would take me, but and hour and 13 minutes...YES! I think that's just awesome and quite amazing too.  I struggled to walk a mile back in June.  The exercise is paying off because I am feeling stronger!

MY FOOD TODAY:
Breakfast - scrambled eggs with vegs and 2 slices bacon.
Lemonade flavored Vitamin Water Zero

Lunch - 5" wrap made with spinach flavored tortilla with chicken breast, spinach/artichoke, 1 slice swiss, mushrooms and red onion.

Snack - 1/4 cup honey roasted peanuts

After work Snack - 1 string cheese

Dinner - 1 Salmon patty with a slice of cheese melted on top.  1 tbsp mash potato with 1 tsp. mushroom gravy.

Enjoyed some Gatorade after my walk.

EXERCISE:
My Walk - 5K - 3.4 miles in 1 hour and 13 minutes.  I burned 511 calories today!  By the way this is an app available on my Samsung Moment phone.  It's called Cardio Trainer and it was free through the Marketplace.  I like it.

Until next time,
♥ Dottie
