Because I ate the carrot cake and pea ice cream, and because I didn't measure the strawberries and "honey," I'm not sure how many calories total I had today. I would estimate maybe 1,158 (808 plus 200 for the cake and ice cream and 150 for the strawberries and SF honey. Both estimates are probably a little high.)

I was supposed to have protein Fage for my last meal, but in a fit of compulsive eating, I ate the carrot cake and ice cream. It backfired. Made me sick. So, I didn't have the Fage and strawberries after all :-(

Exercise: This morning, I did Ana Caban's Intermediate Pilates Mat DVD for the first time. I was rusty on Pilates generally because I haven't been doing the Quick Start for Weight Loss DVD as much lately. Last time I did it was March 9, and before that, February 23. So in the past month, I'd only done Pilates twice!

It was hard to pick back up at a higher level, but I got through it, and I wasn't so bad at it that the workout was useless. I'm very happy with this DVD - it's not too much of a jump from the beginner level, but there are enough new moves that I've gotten my money's worth.

This evening, I walked three miles at Riverfront Park to break in my new running shoes. :-)
