This week was much easier than I imagined. The problems I struggled with were surprising and didn't involve actually craving food! Strange. Maybe the food journal and the blogging were enough of a distraction that the cravings were put on hold. That being said, I had my first dessert, in a week, this evening. Homemade Lemon Meringue Pie (deserves capital letters as if it's something very special). Got to admit, it was a let down. Don't get me wrong - it tasted good and all...but...I made it out to be much more than it could deliver. I even debated weather or not I should skip it all together. hummm! Good things!
Today was a very active day! 5K run and about an hour of biking! I had no appetite after breakfast and didn't eat lunch until 2pm...even then, it was a salad. Not sure why I wasn't hungry, it's kinda unusual for me!
Here's the day:
Breakfast:
snore! Boring!!
Lunch:
Salad with pecans (tons of pecans! I left about a CUP of pecans on my plate!), tomatoes and Gorgonzola cheese
Dinner:
1 portion roasted veggie pizza - homemade this time.
Also, found out I could enter RECIPES into Sparkpeople and get the portion breakdown! cool!
Snack:
1 med. banana
And the breakdown:
1,461. cal. consumed
1,677. BMR
614. cal burned in exercise
-830 cal differential
This was my second run in new shoes! The faster you run - the more calories you burn!!! Yeah!!
