Nutrition Log for Sunday

I've noticed I tend to snack on things that are not so good for me, so I decided to start keeping track of everything I eat!

I didn't make it, but at least I know why, now...

Between 8pm and midnight I ate about 10 hershey's kisses and numerous other chocolate sweets, a FiberOne bar, 20 chocolate chips, an 8 oz diet coke, a one serving box of Smart Start cereal, and a handful of Cheez-Its. Hmm, I think I got everything...

I also looked up my daily caloric expenditure and to maintain my weight, with my level of activity, I would need to consume almost 3200 calories a day (this also includes 300 calories because I'm breastfeeding). In short, my body craves the extra calories because it puts itself into starvation mode otherwise. It looks like I'm going to have to start packing much bigger lunches so that I don't fall into the hunger trap of eating anything (and everything) around me!

July 19, 2008 - Cardio

Well, 40 minutes on the elliptical at 485 calories burned, then another 15 minutes on the treadmill with almost 200 calories burned. at this rate I can burn off a pound every five days in the gym!

Unfortunately, this victory over my evil caloric enemies was short lived when I failed to plan time for making lunch and came to work starving. Only to ruin all my hard work in the gym with a Sirloin Bacon Cheeseburger from Jack-in-the-Box. Complete with medium (um how is 32 oz of anything considered "medium"?) Dr. Pepper and curly fries. Evil temptress that you are, cheeseburger. I will live to fight you another day, cravings!
