Shelley: Day 16 - Soup's On!

It's Day 16 and things are going great!  I finally weighed myself today and was excited to see I'd passed the 10 lb mark. . .only forty more to go!!  I got in a great workout today.  I ran 3.5 miles and then lifted weights.  In total I burned 702 calories.  I'm focusing on keeping my eating tight and clean and it seems to be working.

Here's today's breakdown:

BRM CALC:  (1821+702 for working out)-1392= 1131 Calorie Deficit (3800 Calories= 1 lb) 

TODAY'S TIP:  When in doubt, find a clear broth soup!  So many times I've been out and needed a meal or had lunches ordered in for work.  I learned from one of my good friends a great trick, seek out the soup!  As long as you stick to the non-creamy kind and it doesn't have sausage in it it's hard to go wrong.  In fact, most forms of chicken noodle soup is around 100 calories a cup.  So if you're on the run and don't have access to nutritional information, a good bet is the soup, especially the chicken noodle soup if it's available!
