May 23
Posted: May 23, 2011 at 5:05 pm | Tags: dietSo, Its is now May 23, almost 3 months after my “Day One” post, and here are the results… not much.
I lost about 10 pounds… it was early on, so the only real positive thing I can say is that I kept it off and I didn’t completely jump off the bandwagon.
So, in an attempt to renew my efforts, I will start posting my food log Daily… dum da duuuum.
Here it is:
Breakfast
One un-yummy Carnation Instant Breakfast Essentials
*note* I spilled a good portion of this on my desk, so an unknown quantity of these calories were actually consumed by my wastebasket.
Calories: 250
Total Fat: 5g
Sat. Fat: 1.5g
Cholesterol: 10mg
Sodium: 180mg
Protein: 14g
Snack One
One Serving of Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts

Lunch
Two Fantastic servings of Campbells Chunky New England Clam Chowder
and I added 1 packet of chick-fil-a salt, because these soups have been disturbingly bland.
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 3g
Sat. Fat: 1g
Cholesterol: 10mg
Sodium: 410mg
Protein: 5g
Snack Two
One cup of Dannon Activia Light, Blueberry
I did not have high hopes for this blueberry yogurt, but I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty good for only 70 calories and 0 fat.

Salmon burger

1tbsp mayo 100ish calories
Bun, 100ish calories
Lettuce, tomato
1 peanut butter cookie … Yeah I know shame on me(200ish)
Juice 2 cups, 200ish calories
Totals So Far
It looks (with the numbers) that I went overboard on the sodium, but I just looked it up on google and came up with a site that basically identifies a daily sodium intake minimum of 1500 milligrams and maximum of 2300 milligrams. So, considering that I have 1-2 meals left to eat, I believe I’m doing pretty well.
Here is a link to the article

Calories: 1470
Total Fat: 22g
Sat. Fat: 4.5g
Cholesterol: <35mg
Sodium: 1255mg (and whatever comes in a small packet of salt)
Protein: 35g
End of Day Summary
Today was not really a fail, 1400ish calories is still probably lower than my calorie burn for today, not that I used my body bugg to know for sure.
I did learn something though, If it is my intention to go home and do a workout upon arrival, I should not call my dad on the way home from work. I love my dad, but man that guy can talk. I am not sure if I fall into that category or not… I know I did when I was in high school.
