Day 12 and 13 and yeah...14

I didn't realize how far behind I was on reporting! :o

We've been sticking to our ten a day schedule. It's going fine but I'm feeling like at two weeks I should be able to increase the time a bit. I'll shoot for 15 minutes a day this week and see how it goes. :)

Are we supposed to have one thread per day where we all post how we're doing? That seems simplest, so I'm going to post here.

I just got back from a trip to SF and LA for a week but I actually did very well on my challenges despite all of the restaurant food.

I've been working on my MA thesis, which is why I hadn't posted before.

While in LA and SF, I did some walking almost every day.

I've also had a great time really thinking about my food choices and choosing foods that are healthy but that I also really like, so that I don't feel like I'm giving anything up. A few examples:

1. Veggie Burger in a spinach wrap instead of a ciabatta roll with salad on the side.
2. Oatmeal with almond milk instead of Silk creamer, and ground flaxseeds on top.
3. Quesadillas made with low carb tortillas instead of white flour tortillas.
4. Horchata to drink and no dessert.
5. Whole wheat spaghetti instead of white pasta, with broccoli thrown in at the end to boil rather than fried in oil.

You are doing awesome. I can't believe the challenge is already half way over. I have been making better eating choices and tonight I was really tired after work, but still made time for exercise. Then I just relaxed by myself and felt so much better.
