Probably around 2250. perfect.
exercise was a full upper body (no abs) and back.
also, WALKING at beach (on the hard sand by the water) for around 45 minutes I think (forgot to time it), no pain in right leg at all. Left leg still minor pain that is a heck of a pain to get rid of, but so much better.
things are looking good for me lately with the legs. so happy about this!
(successful weekend, calorie-wise!) nice. now, I am going to do well this last week, before my vacation! I have a week off from work starting on the 14th! and I come back Tuesday, the 22nd! I will be staying home. I have a big concert planned (Bruno Mars in NYC at Madison Sq Garden) and the beach, of course. Also, I have a friend's baby's 1st bday to attend & will visit at least a couple different beaches during the week. I'll be continuing physical therapy & plan to incorporate strong workouts at the gym. Last time I had a week off was January, 6 months ago. Really looking forward to it!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 4.2 lbs to go!
Change of plans today, no beach but going to a BBQ in the evening. instead, i'll go to the gym & do some extra ab exercises that I forgot yesterday and also most of my leg exercises that I would do at PT. I don't mind relaxing all day & I plan to tan on my terrace in the afternoon when the sun is fully shining on it.
Today I am doing laundry, will catch up a couple bills, and just relax. There's no need to rush around all the time and I am thankful for a slow day. As much as I wanted to go to the beach 2 days in a row, it's better I let my body fully relax and rejuvenate a bit with the slow pace here at home. Yes, I am serious! It's been a long time since the days I was a student & teacher, with ample days off. So really, in all honesty, I fully welcome this slow, relaxing, 3-day weekend! If I want to, I can work on my terrace today, also. I need to remove some pigeon spikes that weren't helpful. The were applied with crazy glue, so I will have to see if the product I bought from Home Depot does the trick!
Breakfast: 400 tasty ones.
Snack: around 120 I think.
snack #2: big portion of cinnamon weight control Quaker oatmeal (all the flavors in the weight control box are sooooooo good!) cooked with a 1/2 cup of egg whites which just makes the oatmeal bigger! awesome, and one container of Fage fat free greek yogurt with 2 packets of stevia. total here is 310, very filling and awesome.
around 850, excellent.
around 2250-2300. excellent.
exercise was a little abs and most of my leg pt exercises done at the gym.

2 weeks until a "mini vacation" for me from work. On Tuesday, July 15th I'm taking off to go to a concert in NYC - Bruno Mars at Madison Square Garden! Looking forward to it and I may take off the Wednesday afterwards also.
The Friday directly after (July 18th) I'm going on a long weekend trip to Hazelton, PA to go white water rafting and coming back Sunday. I may take Monday off as well.
Upper Body Gym Days this coming week: Tuesday Eve, Friday Morning, Sunday Morning....or just Tuesday Eve, Thursday Eve, Sunday Morning...depending on my plans for the weekend.
Upper Body Workout for week of the 14th: Tuesday Morning / Afternoon, Friday Morning, and hopefully Sunday when I get home from the trip.
Trying to conserve my vaca days / sick days and doing this would use only 4 or 5. perfect. Leaves me 10 sick/vaca left for this year (haven't used anything yet and everything expires next April)
