Cardio Only

Today I just did cardio...25 minutes on the elliptical machine. I burned 400 calories, according to the machine, but I figure it is actually closer to 300. It is finally starting to get a little nicer outside so I am hoping that I can add in an afternoon walk or jog with the kids for a little added calorie burn. I would also like to add some pilates exercises to my routine to help strengthen and lengthen! Tomorrow I have 25 minutes on the elliptical plus lower body work. It is supposed to be sunny and 51 degrees tomorrow, so I want to go out with the kids tomorrow, as well. The wind isn't supposed to be as strong, either! Yeah! Today I cheated on my nutrition and ate some cookies. My goal tomorrow is to be more strict about my diet. I will only allow myself to "cheat" on Valentine's day (Thursday) because I am baking a special cake for Valentine's. My goal is to be strict on my nutrition between now and Thursday. Four days...I should be able to do it.
