And I Ra-a-an...

breakfast (415):
2 pancakes (300)
raspberry jam (50)
1/2 c. 2% milk (65)

Not the smartest of breakfasts, but I made it for the kids and didn't want to make something else too. High calorie, low nutrient, very little protein. Not what's been prescribed. Not very filling either.

lunch (385):
open faced turkey salad on wheat (225)
1 c. vegetable soup (160)

Pttth... I don't know what happened to the rest of my day. I think the constant headaches from the glucophage are encouraging my eating. Eating helps the headaches. I had a slice of banana bread (112), hot chocolate (150), gumdrops at scouts (140), dinner was pork and noodles. I don't know the calories for sure, but I'm betting 500. Another slice of banana bread (112), more hot chocolate (150). What is that... 902? That makes 1702 for the day. I still have a headache and the munchies. I'm disappointed to learn that my bike ride last night was only good for about 350 calories. Better than walking on the treadmill, I think. It wasn't boring like walking on the treadmill. Ugh... time for cross training.

I ran! I'm so excited! It's been a whole week! After strength training (280 calories), I went down to the treadmill to get my mile in. I started out walking. Slowly I increased the speed. After half a mile I thought, "let's give it a try," and bam! I was running! Not fast, I took it easy. I didn't want to push it. I ran about half of the mile (177 calories). At the end I wanted to keep going, but I figured I'd better ease back into it. Maybe wait and see how the foot feels tomorrow. I am so happy about it. It was just enough to whet my appetite. Now I'm craving the run.
