Haven't written in a week! *Shock*

It's been a week of ups and downs. I gained 2lbs in one day (about which my Wii Fit lectured me...), but also lost some weight, too, so I think it evens out. I'm not very concerned about it. *Pthb*

I'm working on calming myself down at the moment. There's a blizzard coming, and I work at a grocery store. Hence, insanity! *Laugh* We've got a store full of anxious customers, and coworkers who are already planning on not coming in (as well as one who is out for medical reasons and so won't make it in the three days she was scheduled to work)

Anyway, I think I'm getting used to resisting temptation when I'm stressed. Once a week, I go to work to write a newsletter. I go late morning, and by the time I'm done, I'm starving. It's so tempting to take some fried food off the hot bar or to grab a quick burger or something. But I make myself wait, and I go home to my healthier options. It doesn't always work, but I'm getting used to dealing with the temptation.

Today's numbers & stats:
Nutrition:
Breakfast: Fiber One bran cereal, a banana, 1 cup soy milk, 8oz Trop50 orange juice
Lunch: Big salad, .5 cup mini cheese ravioli with Smart Balance butter substitute, dirt pudding dessert
Dinner: Roast beef on sandwich thin, 1 cup pineapple, 17 wheat thin fiber selects crackers, 2 - 1oz hot pepper cheese cubes

Fitness:
Strength Training: 10 minutes, 23 calories
Aerobics: 20 minutes, 62 calories
Yoga: 11 minutes, 21 calories

Total: 44 minutes, 106 calories burned

I'm doing well with my goal of 1200 cardio minutes for February. My current total is 488 minutes. I was planning on making tomorrow a fitness day, where I strive for at least 60 minutes. I may still do that, but although I wasn't scheduled to work tomorrow, I probably will. That's what I get for living in the same town where I work - it's always easy for me to get there, even in inclement weather.
