Sep. 22nd, 2008 11:25 amI'm getting lazy and fat again. Well, actually I've BEEN fat (verging on obese according to several BMI indexes I've read). So I've decided to up my exercise routine. Make it more routine-y, I guess.
Current weight: 165 pounds.
Goal weight: 120 pounds
Exercise: running on treadmill
Total calories: 265
Current time/speed: 20 minutes/5.5 mph (running) and 10 minutes/1.5 mph (cool down)
Goal time/speed: 30 minutes/6mph
Food eaten:
Breakfast: 1 bowl cereal/milk, 2 cups coffee/milk/sugar, orange juice
Lunch: spaghetti with sauce, parmesan cheese
Dinner: 6 jalepeno poppers (with cream cheese and bacon wrappers)
Snacks: 1 small bowl dry cereal. 1 cup yogurt. 1 peach. Raw broccoli (good!) with ranch dip (bad!) 1 cup milk. 1 cut OJ.
Alcoholic drinks: 2.5 beers.
I am so not going to add the calories up for all of that. But, no doubt, it more then counteracted the good of running. At least I didn't eat out.

Date: 2008-09-23 12:50 am (UTC)When I eat at home I tend to eat fairly healthy, the side effect of having lots of pets that need fresh produce as part of their diet. It's when I eat out that I fall down, mostly. And it looks like I'm going to be working at a place that is basically 'lunch break, what the heck is that?' so I *know* I'm going to be starving at the end of the day. (fortunately the first three weeks or so I will still be an extern, and they will be REQUIRED to give me a 30 minute sit down lunch). So a couple of my major goals foodwise will be learning to eat a big breakfast (which means getting up early enough to cook one since eating out somewhere that isn't fastfood isn't cheap) and packing a lunch, and bringing an end of the day snack so I can make it home without heading over to the nearest restaurant.
...and that kinda got long and rambly. Sorry!
