How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Wednesday, April 09, 2008

Tonight, I dodged a SERIOUS bullet. There I was, in the mini market getting a drink or the drive home, when I saw a nice, fresh pile of donuts. Just CALLING my name.

Then I remembered, I have two $1 off coupons for MetRx Protein Plus bars in the car. So I grabbed one, grabbed a bar, and that satisfied the craving. 320 calories, I ate that in lieu of dinner.

43 minutes on the stairclimber this evening (basically the length of a Babylon 5 episode). 360 more calories burned, 756 total for the day (that's a bit over the 600-calorie goal, hehe).

The B5 episode was Grail. Not the greatest episode of the series, but you know I'm gaining a new respect for those Season 1 episodes. They aren't near as bad as some people like to make them out to be.
Just got back from a 30-minute jog. 5k, then walked back to work. 396 calories burned.
