Tuesday 19th, 2007

Got up late which explains somewhat the first late meal and why I didn’t go for a walk this morning. Maybe I’ll get one in later when it cooled off.
11:45 am: 1 Whole Wheat Muffin (100)/ 0.1 oz Smart Balance Spread (20)/ 10 oz Strawberries (81)
Total: 250 Calories
Have to run errands and since I will hit my 3 hour mark to eat I packed up a snack, which I had at
2:45pm: 14.7 Strawberries (119)/ 1 large Red Bell Pepper (44)
Total: 163 Calories
Did a lot of walking around the stores, got at least 10k in for today, but I will make sure I will get to my daily goal of 12k, no matter what.
Got home from running errand by 5:30pm and DH would like to finish up some projects in the garden so we will have dinner around 7 pm. No problem, I just have a snack, I am hungry, I need to eat, otherwise I will binge at dinner.
5:50pm: 1.5 oz each Blueberries (24) & Raspberries (20)/ 3.5 oz Peach (33) mixed with 1 Yoplait (100)/.
Total: 177 Calories
Now that took care of my hunger and my sweet cravings, which was probably caused by me being hungry in the first place. I am glad I made this connection!!
Pizza night. DH asked for it and he is only here one more night before he goes back to work, so no biggy, I love pizza. I bought a large instead of our usual family size. We usually get the bigger size so we have leftovers for lunch, but since DH won’t be home, I DON’T want it in the house!
I’ll serve a salad with it, so no question about having “enough” to eat.
8:15pm: Salad (3 cups mixed Organic Greens (27)/ 3.8oz Tomatoes (21)/ 3.8oz Cucumber (11)/ 2 oz Red Onions (20)/ 364 grams) or 3 Slices of Pizza (809) Ouchy, but oh so goodJ
Total: 888 Calories
Yes, my pedometer is finally there. I will set it up tonight to have it all ready in the morning.
It seems this has been a moderate day with everything, movement (no walk, but still ok on steps), food, really good throughout the day and since I knew early on that we were having pizza (after my first meal) I kept the snacks high volume, but low calories.
I am a bit short on some nutritional items; need to start looking into it closer throughout the day, so I can determine what’s still missing.
Tuesday’s Totals
1478 Calories
13265 Steps/ 6.28 miles
No aerobic steps
358 Calories burned
No Crunches

I realize that lower calorie days can often lead to lower intake on important nutrients as well.
I will try and keep track of all the important vitamins and minerals from now on as well.
