Daily Update

Nutrition
Good day thusfar! I have only consumed around 500 calories. And all in health-conscious foods. I went to Wal-Mart last night. I thought there was a sale on blueberries that was 2 packs for $3.00. Apparently I was mistaken. Each ended up being $2.30. So...a little extra money spent=tasty snack last night, breakfast this morning, and lunch this afternoon! Oh well. I can deal with it.
I guess it's good I haven't eaten too much yet today. Jordan and I are going out for Noodles & Company tonight. I'll make sure to get a small size, and maybe I'll even get a salad with it? We'll see. :)
EDIT: I got a small meal, brought along berries, and Jordan and I went to a park and had a picnic! It was grand. Stayed on target with my calorie count for the day.

Exercise
Currently, I've burned about 210 of my daily 340 calories on DDR. For some reason, my right ankle started acting up. I decided it'd be best to listen to my body and sit it out for a little bit. I'll try my best to get it finished today! As long as my ankle feels a little better, there's nothing stopping me!
EDIT: I did finish, but my ankle is still feeling pretty bum. I wanted to surprise Jordan tonight with a picnic dinner (with the Noodles) and then go to the mall to walk for a while. (I'm always complaining about walking in humidity, because I sweat like a whore in church.) I dunno. I'll still do the picnic, and maybe I'll attempt the mall? I just don't want to push it. If I hurt my muscle more, I'll be in even more trouble. Bah.
EDIT #2: Okay, I'm dumb. I went to Target, walked a bit in the mall, AND did more DDR. Only 150 calories, but enough to have my ankle feeling ishy again. I swear, if it is like this tomorrow...bad news bears.

Mood
Again, work keeps me on edge. It's getting very frustrating, but I only have a couple of days left before we're not dealing with the "problem child." Sad that he has to go, but it'll make things lighten up SO much.
I finished a book today, which is good, because it is due today. Coincidentally, a book by the same author which I had put on request was ready for me...TODAY! So, I have Jodi Picoult's newest book, Change of Heart. Ahh, I shouldn't get started on books, or you'll be reading for days, haha.
One thing I've been kind of struggling with is not stepping on the scale every morning, noon, and night. I know this is a bad idea, and it will just discourage me. Because our weights fluctuate so much throughout the day due to normal meals, water weight, PMS, etc. I know it'd be tough for me, because I have heard even just one normal meal can cause you to look like you've gained a few pounds.
I think I'm going to try weighing myself every Monday. If I don't make it that long, I hope to at least make it every 3-5 days before I hop on there. I'm just so anxious to get on with my journey! Hehe.
