Measurement and Weigh-in Day...Round and Round again...with a Friend!

Today we were weighed and measured by the challenge coordinators. I was actually expecting them to draw blood but they only took a finger-stick sample. My blood pressure was a little high, probably because I just walked in from work. I failed to mention before that I have to climb another stupid hill to get to my bus stop in the a.m.:

Another hill I MUST walk up every weekday

BUT...looks like I lost weight since the last time I weighed myself! :D Probably just water weight, but who cares. So long as that weight is off my @$$!

According to the measurements, I am 49% body fat. WTF! I knew I shouldn't have eaten all those yummy desserts in Little Italy. Ah well!

Cannoli, Creme Brulee', Limonata and Espresso soda in Little Italy, in honor of MJ! R.I.P.!

Before eating lunch, I went round and round the office again, but this time with a friend! We tried to get others to join us, but they probably thought we were nuts. :p 20 times around the office, which, my boss told me that I had walked more than the perimeter of the 20 lap/mile. Ahhh no wonder it took me forever yesterday!

I walked another mile to the bus stop downtown and encountered a nice rainbow along the way:
One of my co-workers waved at me as she headed for her hike up Manoa, I think. Nice to see everyone in the office trying to get healthy. I wasn't going to walk up The Hill today, since I was already tired from lack of sleep the night before. But as fate would have it, the bus driver ended up stopping at the bottom of The Hill, so why waste 20 mins. waiting on the bus when I can squeeeeze my buns going up The Hill! HA!

I just sauteed some tofu with asparagus and mushrooms. I added a tbsp of Sugoi spicy garlic sauce (1/2 the recommended serving) and 1 tbsp of Ponzu sauce. I know shoyu is high in sodium, so I diluted it with water and added a crapload of Kirkland Organic No-Salt seasoning. And I'll have 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa instead of rice. Guess what I'm eating for lunch tomorrow? Leftovers! :)
