Oh Paula Dean

im watching her show right now and she is making homemade doughnuts using canned biscuits and a deep fryer! AND she made a chocolate glaze!! oh paula dean...
so today is day 2 of the challenge and here are my stats from yesterday oct 23rd:
FOOD: 1/2 cup of pecan pie pecans (300), healthy choice general tso chicken rice and veggies (310), plain hot dog (220), med banana (105), kashi five cheese and tomato pizza (870)

cal total for 23rd: 1805
exercise: none
points for day 1: +2 for the food posting, +2 for meeting cal range, +1 for blog
total for day 1: 5pts:)
yay for meeting calorie range! i was thinking it would hard to stay in that range but i was shocked to see that it could be done as long as i thought about waht i ate. granted i didnt food i made myself (cuz i didnt grocery shop yet) i feel like i ate enough and wasnt stuffed the whole day but yet i was full. and something i noticed when i woke up this morning was that i didnt feel bloated!! i felt like my stomach was actually empty which is something i havent felt in awhile. it was nice to feel like i didnt have food left in my stomach from the day before b.c i ate too much.... although i gotta say ive been craving soda, especially when i was eating the pizza! but i resisted b/c i want to accomplish that goal not only for the points but also to get used to not drinking soda again.
the kashi pizza was surprising good! ive been wanting to try those for a long time now but i neve bought one b.c it was lke 5 dollars and that just hurts my soul b.c totinos is just a dollar (granted the quality and taste definately on kashi's side of the fence) but it was filling! i almost couldnt eat it all.... but i did.

i didnt work out yesterday so ive used my one free day for the week but thats ok! this morning i woke up at 11 and the first thing i did after using the bathroom was put on my work out clothes with out thinking about. i just did it. granted i only worked out for 30 mins it was still nice to move my body! i was stretching and my back felt like it was it frozen in place b.c im so stiff from not work out ne more but then i did some yoga stretches and my back felt like it just melted! it was felt soooo good! so i did about 15 mins of yoga and then i did 15 mins of weight exercises for my arms. i tried do squats but my knees started to hurt:( i did 40 wall push ups.. which in my opinion are a good alternative to girl push ups (especially if your knees are hurting)

so far today ive eatin 1 cup kashi oat flakes and wild berry clusters cereal and banana. this evenin me and zach are going to see the new movie body of lies and the eat at franky d's which is a new italian chop house that opened i pullman. so im trying to keep my other cals for the day low so i can eat something other than just a side salad!

i gotta say i really like the feel of this challenge this time. i know its just the 2nd day but i really feel good about this. i mean i ate food yesterday and i didnt feel deprived of ne thing b.c i kept tellig myself i can have ne thing i want but i just gotta think about the consequences of eating say an otis spunkinmeye blueberry muffin over a banana and a handful of nuts!
