Day 4... Yummy leftovers!

Before breakfast, I took Heinz on a 20 minute walk. The wind was blowing, and it was freezing! Yeah, really cold 59 degrees. Oh well, I was cold. And for breakfast? Well you know the drill, I had an egg biscuit for breakfast. Not too exciting.

I decided I needed to increase my eBay selling inventory, so I headed to Dirt Cheap in Gautier, MS (about 30 minutes away). I stayed too long and missed lunch before having to meet Laura at the gym. We decided to do the "lazy" bikes and chit-chat, so I burned a total of 100 calories in a little under 20 minutes. Not worth it... I'd rather burn the same amount of calories in the same amount of time by taking Heinz around the neighborhood.

Lunch was easy: a left over pork chop and half a serving of mashed potatoes. I decided to only get a half serving, and then go back if I needed/wanted more. I ended up not going back for more potatoes, and instead I dove right into eBay listing. Over the course of the day I listed 10 items, and I might get one or two more done before going to bed.

Before dinner, I decided to meet Lauren at the tennis courts in Ocean Springs. One of our singles teams had a match, so we decided to get a little bit of practice in while they were playing. Lauren's recovering for a tennis related injury (sprained ankle), so we didn't get to play too much. Kevin, our awesome coach, came to our court and did some hitting drills with us. My combined total of playing tennis this evening was 35 minutes, and the three of us decided that I needed to select doubles tennis for my calorie burning calculator. So, I burned about 171 calories... works for me!

Dinner was an easy night... I finished up the last pork chop (while Jason ate the last garlic chicken breast from Monday night), and we each ate a serving of mashed potatoes. There's one more serving of potatoes left... wonder who will get to it first tomorrow?

On a final note, my hunger has started to lessen. I didn't eat lunch until about 2:45 and didn't start getting hungry for dinner until after tennis around 8:30. Maybe this won't be so bad!
