9 juillet

As promised, a daily accountability thread:

Dietary Honesty:

0730: coffee (w/ sf Davinci’s syrup and light soy mlk) and a banana
1010: another coffee with 9 strawberries
1200: bowl of vegetarian chili, one piece of sourdough bread, and vegan “buttery” spread, iced tea (no sugar, lots of lemon)
1300: decaf tea with light soy milk and half a splenda packet
1730: (here’s where things get dicey) a couple sips from my husband’s beer, a slice of gouda, 3 cherry tomatoes, the crusts off half a grilled cheese sandwich, and two spoonfuls of tomato soup. ((kids’ supper time, since J had to rush back into town for something and I’ll be eating later with him)
1900: rice (brown and white) topped with zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, and pine nuts (a pretty large portion, but pretty low-cal, all things considered; and, of course, a glass of red wine
2045: about two cups of popcorn, no butter, water

Exercise:

push up challenge: level 1, week 1, day 3 – completed
sit up challenge: level 1, week 1, day 3 – completed
step count: 14,330

That’s a night for me. I’m sure I’ll walk a couple hundred more steps, and may have another glass of wine. If so, I’ll let you know tomorrow. Reflections: the mess up of timing around supper time gave me a bit of a problem. I certainly didn’t need that early-evening snack. I’m used to eating fairly early, around 6PM, with my kids. Roughly, this puts me at 1600-1800 calories, which seems a little high, but not weight-gainingly so. I guess that’s what tracking is all about. REALLY seeing how much I’m eating, and what I can do to adjust it.
