Friday is normally my day off work, but I went in for 4 hours (3 pm-7 pm). I walked to work from BART, 30 minutes. Then I took a quick jaunt down the street and back, about 20 more minutes. I was behind on my steps for April and needed to catch up.

I got off at 7 on Friday and Brad picked me up and we took a quick spin around the Lake - 3 miles, about an hour - half of what we usually do. That burned a few more calories. Then we went back to my apartment for dinner and wine. I had the Chicken Santa Fe Weight Watchers dinner poured over veggies and Cabernet.

Saturday we did another short walk. Brad wanted to do a long walk, but I reminded him that I'm doing a full workout at the gym on Sunday and don't want to tire myself out too much, especially on my only day off this week.

Weighed in this morning. I'm at 137.6 is a loss of 1.8 from last week. That put me 0.2 below where I was before my binge last week. I could have lost more but yesterday was my cheat day and I had two granola bars at church and pigged out on protein cereal before bed (Special K Protein Plus and a soy protein isolate cereal I ordered online).

Evidently I hurt my tricep on my left arm during last Wednesday's upper body workout - probably tore it a bit. When my friend massaged my arm it hurt and he said to lay off the tricep stuff for a week or two. I tend to agree with him, so today I did everything except triceps - biceps, lats, shoulders, back, and some ab work. Also calves - I do the standing calf raise every day I am at the gym.

So one hour of upper body work minus triceps. Then I ran on the treadmill - 31 minutes and I covered 3.03 miles. The time flew by because the last half hour of "The Fellowship of the Ring" was on the TV and I was busy watching it. :) There's no sound, but they had the hearing impaired subtitles on.

I got dressed and ate my post-workout protein and carb snack on the train. Then I walked to work from my stop - another 30 minutes and 1.5 miles.

Assessment: I was tired and a bit sluggish during my weight workout (even my diet energy drink didn't help), but the treadmill run woke me up.

Calorie goal today is under 1400 because I worked out. Same for tomorrow since I am planning on hitting the gym again and doing lower body.
