Day 303 Still hot and hazy in Toronto for a Tuesday

The TTC is supposed to be running normally, but there were a heck of a lot of people on my streetcar this morning, so I think there are fewer running. I spent most of the day inside, as it was really hot and nasty, but I had to go out at lunchtime to get food. Once I was back from getting lunch, I wanted to go sit in a freezer LOL


I went for another run in the gym upstairs, and here are my stats: 155 beats per minute (heart rate average), burned 468 calories and ran for 55 minutes. I tried to run as much as I could, but my knees and shins were getting sore at the end.

What I had to eat:

Breakfast: Rolled Oats and applesauce (4 pts)
Lunch: Chicken Sub (7 pts)
Snack: carrots and dip (2 pts)
Dinner: Sushi - 10 pieces (5 pts)

Total: 18 points.

Day 302 TTC went to hell Monday

The Toronto Transit Commission had a wildcat strike today that completely blindsided the 800,000 daily users of streetcars, busses and subways. Needless to say, the city of Toronto was not happy. To make things even nastier? It was 90 degrees in the shade, and the first smog alert warning of the year. I had to walk halfway home because streetcars kept diverting. I went for a run in the evening though, in the gym upstairs, and here are my stats: 154 beats per minute (heart rate average), burned 506 calories and ran for 1 hour 1 minute. I tried to run as much as I could as well.

What I had to eat:

Breakfast: Rolled Oats and applesauce (4 pts)
Lunch: Chef Boyardee (7 pts)
Snack: carrots and dip (2 pts)
Dinner: Soup and rye bread (4 pts)
Total: 17 points.
