Diary Entry for 8-5-08

Had a good long day today. Worked from 7 am to 6 pm, then went walking in Heritage Park. Had a good walk. Went home and went to bed at 9 pm.

Breakfast:
2 slices 40-calorie bread w/ 1 tsp promise spread on each slice, 1 slice tomato, 2 slices cheese.

Lunch:
1 bowl of spicy chicken baha soup from Sweet Peppers Deli
2 cups tortilla chips w/ spicy cheese dip
water

Dinner:
3 cups spring mix salad mix
1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced
1/2 tomato, sliced
1/4 red onion, sliced thinly
1/4 cup homemade vinaigrette

BG:
before breakfast = 135
at bedtime = 106

Walking was good - I went for (3) 1.5 mile loops in 60 minutes. Got my heart rate up to 132 beats per minute max. I have to have my heartrate between 117 and 153 for it to be efficient. The walk has to be a minimum of 40 minutes at this rate for the walk to be benificial.
