Today would have been good if I hadnt eaten the bag of chips in my lunch and had a bit more water. My only excuse for this is that my I asked my mom to pack my lunched and she does not know that I do not eat chips. Water-wise, we ran out of bottles water and i didnt want to drink a sugary capri sun.
My treadmill workout showed improvement too, I did 1 minute 6 miles/hr intervals with 5 minutes at 6 m/hr (aka running) and I did get out of breath until the last 2 intervals.

Omg.
I slipped big time today.
The only lame reason for it is that I had been pretty good all day, so i helped myself to a donut. But, soon after i went to my friends house a little longer than i had thought and got hungry, so i caved and had a pop tart. Also because of this I skipped my excercise cause i got home superlate.

Don't worry too much about little slip ups :] When you're first starting out, they'll happen a lot more often than you want them to, you just have to train your body to your knew diet :] Things will regulate themselves naturally, no worries ^.^

wheat bread turkey sandwich
peach cup
about 10 veggie crisps

Dinner
Sesame chicken & white rice

Excercise
I walked to the Chinese restaurant and took the long way back (about 2.5 miles)
On the way back we stopped at a Mcdonalds plaground and we ran around there for a while
We walked to a park (about .25 of a mile) and we ran around there for about 45 minutes

Comments
I think the only slip today was the dew, cause with all the excercise I got, it would have burned off alot of the chinese, especially cause I had a healthy-sized portion.
Im also happy that I got excercise today but didnt actually do a formal workout.
