Day 9... Yummy Baked Honey Mustard Chicken!

Working on the second week of my diet... so I started the morning off with a scrambled egg biscuit. No harm in sticking with what you know, right? If anyone has any breakfast suggestions that don't involve fruits, send them my way!

For lunch, I ate my leftover 6 inch sub from Subway. Yummy as always. Then I headed to the gym to use the usual machine... the elliptical. Now at Planet Fitness, they have like 12 or 14 ellipticals, and I'm very particular about which machine I get on. Usually I like #6, but machine #6 didn't feel right today. It felt more difficult, so my 22:30 minutes only burned 192 calories. Oh well... I didn't feel like pushing myself to reach 200.

After the gym, Laura and I came back to my house to wait for Jason and Mike to get out of class. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they have physical training (PT). During this time they have to do some type of training like running or weight lifting. Today the guys decided to meet us for tennis. We ended up playing for over an hour (1 hour, 16 minutes). Jason and I beat them pretty good! :)

After tennis, Lauren wanted us to help her move a little bit. Before doing that though, we decided to eat a new chicken recipe: Baked Honey Mustard Chicken. I was looking forward to it all day... and it was definitely worth it! I recommend trying this; it was great! I added a handful of grapes as a side item (21 to be exact), and it was a great meal. We helped Lauren move for about 2 hours, and then I came home feeling a little hungry. Jason suggested another piece of chicken, but I opted for a small slice of cake from Saturday... and Jason had already decided a few days ago that it's only about 150 calories. Even with adding cake, I managed to stay under my required amount!
