Ran for 40 minutes. Easy run. Iced my knee afterwards while I ate breakfast and read my scriptures. Trying to build the spirit while I re-build my body


breakfast (225):
1 c. Honey Bunches of Oats w/Peaches (160)
1/2 c. milk (65)


1 hour Zumba. Not on my game this morning. Probably because I'd already run earlier. I need to get another day of running in though. Three days is not enough to keep my endurance going, build up speed, or get my mileage to where I need it for 10k training. I can do it! I just need to adjust. Knee is holding up okay. I chose the low impact versions of some things. Problem is lower impact = lower intensity = few calories burned. Oh, well... I figure I've burned 800+ this morning. Good after last night's Super Bowl carb loading indulgence.


snack (240+):
protein powder (100)
banana (100)
1/4 c. frozen raspberries (40)
a couple bites of cinnamon roll
*shared some shake with the kids


lunch (296):
Mom's White Chili (105)
cheese (65)
salsa (5)
broccoli salad (121)


snack (40+):
mandarin orange (40)
a handful of 94% fat-free popcorn


dinner (338):
6 oz. grilled chicken breast (200)
1/2 c. peas (59)
1/4 c. rice (55)
1 c. fresh pineapple (74)

FHE treat:
1 gumdrop fruit slice (50)

1239+ for the day.

Knee still hurts. Skipped my run this morning so I could take my baby to the doctor. She has an ear infection.


breakfast:
banana (100)


snack:
cheese stick (100)


Zuma class.


lunch (530+):
Took the kids to McDonald's.
I got a Southwest Chicken Salad (320)
with half the dressing (50),
and a Fruit and Yogert Parfait (160),
plus about 10 fries (???)

dinner:
We went to the ward Valentine's Party. I ate a plate full of salads, tried two soups, ate two cookies and one fudgecicle (which, I was surprised to find out only has 40 calories). I danced and danced and played games. It was fun. I just don't know how many calories I consumed. Afterwards Stuart and I had ice-cream. I'm sure the calorie count on that is enough to ruin the whole week.

breakfast (305):
1/2 c. granola (240)
1/4 c. milk (32)
half a peach (33)


1 hour Zumbatoning.


snack (*240):
protein shake (100)
small banana mixed in (90)
2/3 c. frozen strawberries mixed in (50)
*shared it with the kids, so it probably saved me some calories.


lunch (347):
soft taco (307)
mandarin orange (40)


snack (260):
wheat toast (90)
1 t. PB (30)
peaches (80, probably less since I drain them)
herbal tea with honey (60)

Hurt my right knee somehow. grrr...

dinner:
I don't even want to know. We made breakfast; blueberry pancakes with syrup, sausage, eggs, milk. Probably 800-1000. ugh. What is wrong with me?

I was up really late last night so I didn't make it up for my run this morning. Which might be okay because I hurt my knees during my workout last night. My left knee started hurting while I was doing lunges. Only when I bent it. Now my Right knee is hurting even to walk. I guess from compensating for the left last night. I hope it doesn't last.


breakfast (303):
egg white breakfast burrito in half a tortilla (238)
1/2 c. 2% milk (65)


lunch:
leftovers from dinner last night (460)

dinner:
It was easily 1000 calories. I had Pack Night/Blue and Gold Banquet this evening, and although I skipped the hot dog, I had two plates of delicious salads of green and fruit variety (sounds healthy, but its not), a brownie and a large piece of cake. The fruit salad with the cookies in it was my favorite thing of the night. Mmmmmmm..... This calorie indulgence only gets worse since I opted not to run today to give my knee a rest, just in case.

Didn't get up this morning. I was up with the baby. She has a fever and gooey eyes. Poor baby!


breakfast (310):
frosted mini spooners (265)
orange (45)


Still hungry.

snack (200):
plain protein shake, yuck (100)

apricots (100)

lunch (318):

1/2 c. cranberry chicken (179)
1/2 c. peas (59)
pear halves (80)


snack (217):
small apple (77)
cheese stick (100)
a few M&M's (40?)

snack part 2 (150?):
half my kid's leftover PB&J, terrible of me!

dinner (460):
2 mini meatloaves (350)
1 c. steamed broccoli (30)
1 c. roasted squash (80)

What's dumb about the second meatloaf is that I wasn't even hungry any more. I just ate it because it was mine and I thought I had room in my calories. Now I'm over full, but finally satisfied for once, even if overly so, and over my calories. I need to work on getting better calories earlier in the day so I'm not so hungry all day long. 1655 for the day.

Weigh-in #36: Half-way There, Again...

I've gotten so use to not loosing that half the time I don't remember it's a weigh-in day when I first get up. I wasn't expecting anything today either. I'd quit hoping. Much to my surprise I've lost for the first time since the beginning of November! 2 pounds down! I'm not as excited as I'd expect. I think I'll be more excited if it's still gone next week. Here's to hoping it is.


Didn't make it up for my run this morning. I was up until 1:30 am "helping" Chloe with her History Project. I'll have to get it in at some point today.


breakfast (255):
frosted mini spooners (190)
milk (65)


lunch (352):
tortilla (150)
cheese (65)
lettuce (5)
tomato (8)
salsa (5)
taco meat (74)
small orange (45)


snack (190+):
Chocolate PB protein shake, not so great. I like the one I make with a banana much better.
Handful of White Chocolate popcorn

dinner:
I don't know how many calories I consumed. I had too many kids over to take the time to find out. I do know that I ate way too many. I made Turkey Pot Pie and had an embarrassing amount, with cranberry on the side. I don't know what my deal was. I was so hungry all day. Even after I ate a meal, I'd still be hungry. I'd wait for the next meal/snack time and the headache would start. I was good (except for the popcorn) until dinner, then it got the better of me. I did make it on the treadmill this evening. It was long. I picked a program that ended up being slow. It took me 45 minutes to hit my 3 miles. AND it was almost entirely hill. BUT it was 500+ calories. Time for a shower and bed. I still can't believe I lost 2 lbs. I hope it's still gone...

breakfast (255):
frosted mini spooners (190)
milk (65)


Only half-hour of Zumba due to the fact that I got pulled over on my way there. Expired registration. That's going to cost me. Not to mention the calories I didn't burn.


snack (200):
protein shake (100)
banana (100)


lunch (334):
1/4 c. rice. (51)
1 serving cranberry chicken (179)
1 T. peas (4)
1/2 carrot (20)
canned peaches (80, although I drained them so it's probably a little less)

snack (250ish):
apples and peanut butter

dinner:
We had soft tacos. I was too busy helping with homework and getting FHE ready to figure out the calories. I ate one and a half. Hopefully it fell in line.

FHE treat:
We made White Chocolate Popcorn. I think I ate two or three cups worth. Not calorie friendly I'm sure.

940 known calories. Hopefully not too many unknown.
