 So today I got home from work and I ate a small meal, nothing too bad for me or anything, but it had a decent amount of calories (close to 500, I think). I did this with the intention of just eating a small salad or something like that later in the day after I work up from my "nap." My sister texted me later and ask if I would go out to eat with her, of course I say yes because it's my weakness. I do want to say I don't think I did too bad for going out to eat either. I think that meal was somewhere around 700 calories or so (I usually go close to if not over 1000 when I go out to eat).

Things I did today:

• I actually wore my fitbit. I feel like I wear it and then take it off and forget to put it on. But I'm going to try to keep it on consistently except when showering or when getting in water. You get the idea. I hate when I don't see all those things green, so it's a good way to keep myself motivated right now. Currently my goals are:

1. 10,000 steps
2. 10 floors
3. 4 miles
4. 2,000 calories
5. 30 active minutes

• I went to the gym and used the elliptical and treadmill. I didn't push myself too hard on either, but I did get on both to keep myself motivated. Usually I go to the gym after work, but when I do that I just slowly (like 2.0mph) walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes (if that). I do try to find books I want to read, that typically helps me stay on a little longer. So today when I got off of work, I decided to go home and go to the gym later when I woke up. So I figured on my days off I'll try to do that; however on my clustered days, it's better to just walk on the treadmill slowly for 30 minutes then to do nothing at all. 

• I did actually count my calories, but something is up with MyFitnessPal and it's not syncing with my Fitbit, which is really irritating, so I need to find a new way to count my calories. Maybe I will just not worry about them syncing. Who knows. 

• I did Day 2 of the 30 Day Fitness Challenge. Still early so it still seems a little on the easy side, but I say that now... Haha.
