breakfast:
I usually make something other than cereal Saturday mornings for the family. In an effort to use up leftover pumpkin that's been sitting in the fridge, I tried a pumpkin pancake recipe. I thought it was delicious. I don't know the calorie count, but combined with the sausage, I'm sure it was costly. Especially since I ate 2.5. I'd guess somewhere between 800-1000 calories on one meal! I'll have to be good the rest of the day. Wait- I just found the nutrition info on the pancakes 278 calories per serving (2 pancakes). Add syrup, milk... probably closer to 800 calories. I'm hoping to make it outside for a run this afternoon. It's still really cold, but the sun is out and the hubby will be home for a change. I am out the door!


lunch:
open faced tuna salad on wheat
2 pear halves


I'm not doing an official calorie count because I don't feel like taking the time today, but I wanted to track the food anyway.


What a beautiful day to run! It was so great to be outside. It was warm enough that I took my jacket off in the first mile. I made it up all the hills. The air was crisp, but not so cold that I could see my breath. The sun was warm on my back. It was great to hear the rhythm of my feet on the pavement. It took my breathing a bit to settle into a rhythm, and running outside is definitely different than the treadmill, but it was great! I don't know the official mileage, but I'd guess 4.


snack:
protein shake

dinner:
We went out to the Pizza Factory. I had a mini thin crust veggie pizza with chicken, a salad, bread stick, and two big glasses of Raspberry lemonade (which probably killed the calorie count). My stomach hurt by the time we got home.
