being on track feels good

Today was a GREAT back on track day for me…

I hope it was for you too!

Accountability is good for me, so I’m going to be posting most of my eats for the next couple of days.

I started off this morning with one of Angela’s delicious Chi Glo Bars and a clemintine!

I do love chia seeds and have had them many times before, but when they go all fuzzy I have GOT to get them out of my teeth!!

My lunch was some left over thai, which I wanted to get some more value out of before throwing out… I had it with the regular steamed white rice from the restaurant, and had about 1/2 cup of rice with about 1/2 cup of a yellow curry/coconut milk/chicken/spicy deliciousness EXPLOSION!!

Man, I love this stuff… it is MUCH yummier than it looks.

I also received a tub of chex mix from a friend today, and I had a handful down, before I even knew it! I quickly tightened that lid and sealed it up! The handful pictured is NOT the one I ate, cause it was gone before I remembered to take a photo!!

I snacked on an apple, 8 almonds, and a blueberry oikos, because I needed something in my belly before tennis tonight.

Yes, you read that right… I had tennis tonight… practice 7 of 8… the last one is WEDNESDAY…

I’m looking forward to being done, because my focus has to be on getting a great foundation established on my runs. I think when it comes around again in Jan/Feb, it will be a great cross training activity, but right now getting home at 8 is just an extra stress.

FITNESS

So, before tennis, I set out to run a short 2 miles, and all was not well. I simply did NOT have enough fuel for that run. At 1.75 miles, I stopped to walk the last .25 because my stomach HURT with hunger, and I felt like I could pass out from the need for fuel.

I had just enough time to run to the grocery store and buy a bunch of EMERGENCY BANANAS!

Yup. I avoided the chips and candy, and got something that would REALLY make me feel better.

For dinner, I had a couple of chicken tamales, which hubby steamed for me, topped with some of Amy’s Chili (my favorite bean chili!)

I took a picture, but it looked to gross to post. haha. trust it was yummy.

Here is how I ended up calorically… A little low today.

Food calories consumed – 1,681

Exercise calories burned – 491

Net calories so far today – 1,189

I’ve got a little surprise for you in my next post… well, for those of you who liked it the last time I did it… haha.
