Belly Loss: Day 8

Okay, back on the exercise wheel.  Sometimes, I feel like a hamster.

So I did something stupid and somehow forgot my pilates session this morning.  Good thing the plan doesn't actually require it, but it's still a good idea (and one I'll fix tomorrow).

So I started my day with 1/2 bagel and honey, rounded by about 1/4 cup of peanuts.  Then, a decent lunch of chicken and rotini noodles, covered with pesto sauce and oil (MUFA).  A couple of cheese sticks for a snack, and a teriyaki steak with green beans and broccoli cheese rice for dinner.  That rounds to about 1800/2000 calories for the day.  I need to step it up; I shouldn't be coming that far under 2k.

For the final part of the day, my exercise time is ramped up.  A 45-minute power walk at about 70% intensity (got to learn the neighborhood a bit more, as I got lost), followed by a set of 15 reps each for the Cut To The Core routine (previously doing 10 reps each).  That was a burn.  But it felt great, and I got the 35-minute interval walk tonight, along with the Maximum Metabolism workout with the dumbells.  I should be sufficiently whining by the time I go to bed.
