Kathy, doesn't that make you feel great!!! You are doing so good! I am proud of you. Great choices also. It is hard to do when you are away. We had a luncheon on Monday and I was amazed at how I can tell now, if there is something in the food that I can't eat. It was from an Italian place called Maggiano's and it was Chicken Marsala. It had chicken breasts, onions, and mushrooms in a wine sauce. All of which I could eat. However, they thickened their sauce with corn starch! Which is a definate no-no for me! So I ate the salad, then came back to my office and had the rest of my lunch there!
Wendy, that is a great start. I would imagine that the eliptical machine is a lot better for your back as well.
Helen, I had the same problem just getting back to it this week after missing three days from being sick. It is tough to get back and up to speed. I have noticed that doing the same workout has my heart rate a little elevated, meaning I am having to work harder than before.
Oh and I found a great website a few weeks ago that is a free diet journal website. It charts your caloric intake, carbs, etc and also figures in your workouts! You might want to check it out. It also has a premium feature (for a charge) to allow you to customize your input for your favorite foods.
