Wednesday Food Journal

6:30am - Oatmeal, 1 danactive yogurt drink, 4 oz. Naked Blueberry fruit drink 300 cal.

8:00am - WORKOUT - I went to the gym after I dropped off the kids and ran for 1 hour. I ran 4.75 miles and burned 600 cal. I forgot to turn off my heart rate monitor before I went to the grovery store to pick up a few things, and when I came out, my calorie count was at 918. So I guess I will count that as my workout this morning. I burned 918 cal. from running and grocery shopping.

9:30am - Protein shake (I had to open it in the grocery store becaue I forgot to pack one this morning...so ghetto!) 170 cal.

10:30am - Turkey Taco (turkey sandwich sounds so much better, but what I eat is a piece of bread folded up with turkey in it...that's it, no mayo, no mustard, no lettuce, no tomato. SO from this point forward it will be called a turkey taco.) 130 cal.

12:30pm - 1 cup cottage cheese with 1/3 c. pineapple. 220 cal.

1:30pm - Wyatt's leftover bag of cheeto's...worth the 160 cal.

4:30pm - crackers and cheese...I'm guessing around 600 cal...but I didn't really keep track. Plus I had a little bit of apples, bananas, strawberries, and grapes. 800 cal. total

Grand Total: 1780 calories. I am happy with that. You take away the 900 calories from my workout, and I did a lot of housework...I burned 100 cal. just mopping, and another 100 cal. walking arounf the block. So I am okay with this. The important thing is not to get into starvation mode. When your body does not get the normal amount of food, it thinks it's starving so it actually clings to the fat and stores it as reserves. SO it's really not a good idea to starve yourself or really limit your calorie intake.
