Slacker

For Tuesday May 24th, I started out good but ended badly. I had my 290 calorie French toast sticks for breakfast, peanuts for a snack, a theoretical healthy frozen steamer for lunch that was clearly unremarkable (i forgot about whether I enjoyed it in a matter of hours)… After that it went downhill. The day was stressful, so I ended the day with some comfort food. I don’t do that often enough to receive any grief… So no emailing me about the evils of comfort food. My sundae was a small, so I at least did not pull out all the stops and get a large.

May 23

So, 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

Calories: 160
Total Fat: 14g
Sat. Fat: 2g
Cholesterol: 0mg
Sodium: 190mg
Protein: 7g

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.

Calories: 70
Total Fat: 0g
Sat. Fat: 0g
Cholesterol: <5mg
Sodium: 65mg
Protein: 4g
Dinner
Salmon burger
Salmon patty 130 calories
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.

Day One

I have completed day one of my diet. I have started, so a good part of the difficulty is done.

I initially planned to have subway breakfast and lunch, with a few apples and whatnot as snack. That plan was ruined when I arrived at subway to find it closed. So… Instead, I had the following:

Breakfast:
Lean pocket
crystal lite

Snack:
Carrot and dip pack

Lunch:
Healthy choice portabella Parmesan risotto
String cheese
Gum

Snack:
String cheese

Dinner:
Subway 6″ ham sub

I did my workout to a bootcamp style set I bought, they worked lower body and I finished the day with a calorie burn of 2250 and a step count of 3431.
My targets, respectively were 2350 and 10000. I have no idea what it would take to take 10000 steps in one day. With a goal like that, who needs a workout.

Day Two awaits.
