Healthy Diet

We've had a membership at the local YMCA for a few months now, but I've never worked out there.  I'm not exactly a gym person, though I like the idea of strength training using convenient exercise machines.  (I've worked out at gyms before, so I do know what I'm missing.) 

This afternoon, I took my four kids to the YMCA.  We endured the Orientation, my kids got their ID tags and my daughter swam in the (outdoor!) pool.  After the hour-long Orientation, my boys and I worked out on the elliptical machines for twenty minutes. (That's all we had time for since the Orientation took so long.)

Not much, but a good start.  Plus, now I know the next step to take so I can get trained to use the strength training machines.  They have a cool computerized system that helps you work out and stay on track and improve and all that good stuff.

Here's what I ate today:

Big, big salad at SouplanationTurkey noodle soup (whole wheat noodles!) at Souplanation

Lots of chopped up vegetables cooked with eggs.  Sort of an omelette, really.

98% fat-free popcorn

That doesn't sound like very much–the problem was that I am totally out of practice at eating breakfast.  I need to try to eat earlier in the day tomorrow so my blood sugar stays stable and all that.

And now, I'm heading to bed . . . after I make my son's school lunch.
