Today was supposed to be a bleacher workout, but the bleachers were wet – so I ended up running a few miles on the track with my friend Cindy (who needs a blog btw). Massoman was also there doing speedwork. The gate was locked so we had to jump the fence, that was fun.
I’ve done better at my food this week, getting closer to the 1200 calories per day. Weight lose was .6 lbs. Not much, but I’ll take it. Down is down and I must be diligent and keep it up. I think the exercise calories seem low, I’ll have to look into that.
Daily Averages
food calories: 1,481
exercise calories: 213
net calories: 1,268
It also seems cutting back on the avocados has helped with my fat intake – although, I’d like to see less carbs and more protein in the mix. That’s my goal for this week. A tough one too, considering at times I have meat issues. But that’s a post for my soon to be psychiatric blog.
Happy day everyone. Oh, and Rowdy’s doing much better – two open eyes today.
Hey–I’ve been doing better too. It’s only been 1 day though. Keep up the great work and we’ll be two hot mama’s before too long.
Two words. — protein. shakes.
“meat issues” hee!
You’re doing awesome. I haven’t tried much of the speedwork. I supposed I should start that sometime.
.6 is .6, can’t complain about that. I got a great visual of you and your running friends jumping the fence around the track. Would you have ever imagined 20 years ago that you’d be scaling fences so that you could exercise?
Glad to hear that Rowdy is recovering.
Smart girl for not doing the bleachers. Glad that Rowdy the Porn star is mending.
How is the heat doing there in Texas?
How do you keep track of your calories?!?!? Sounds like a lot of work! Good job though, keep it up!
Susan,
I would scale a fence any day of the week with you. Phil is right though, 20 years ago if I scaled anything it sure wasn’t so that I could run around it. See you next Tuesday.
i cant seem to stop eating lately. eat eat eat is all i do. hey, you got a new header! later.
I think your 0.6 lbs went to me :O. I weight 151 today…and i have been 150 for a long time (145 is my norm).
Poor Rowdy…i hope he feels better…
i love reading all your info. I too am running and trying to lose and frustrated. keep up all your great work-it is inspiring!
Nice job on the food issues Susan. You can always ditch the meat and buy a protein powder drink…it even comes in chocolate!
I think those exercise calories are low, too. I burn about 100 calories a mile. Swimming burns about 300 – 400/hr. So 213 is low.
.6 is good! That is almost 3/4 of a lost pound that will not likely find you again any time soon. Congrats!
Keep it up. 0.6 is good. My scale is not that accurate. Keep on tracking the intake – that’s what keeps me on track.
BTW – My friend Cindy also needs a blog.
Are you taking care of your colon? That might help with the weight loss.
Maybe it wasn’t video games — I heard that now wrestling is the root of all evil. Tell Rody to quit pile driving the cat. Glad to hear he’s on the mend.
LOVE the new header.
You’re so good. Keeping track of what you’re eating. I keep talking about doing it, but am too lazy to do so.
your pie sucks! no color for cookie dough (oatmeal separate from chocolate chip cookie), no color for ice cream (pralines and cream and perhaps raspberry and chocolate truffle). and i’ve failed to find the sliver dedicated to key lime pie and carrot cake.
your pie sucks.
of course, your pie is probably more helpful than mine, but when the chips are down…. cookie dough will get you through pms faster than carrot sticks.
4 words – chocolate flavoured protein shakes. You might need to try one or two to find one that tastes good. And my tip – have them with skim milk. Don’t have them with water. They are BAD.
Hmmm, you have meat issues? Where cam Susan take this statement?
Where did you get the awesome graph/info?? I would love to do graphs like that!!
We are having to do some breaking and entering to get onto the track around here too.
Great job on the weight lose, I would be happy to see my scale move any in the downward direction.

Hey, how’d you do all those fancy calculations and the pie graph? Inquiring minds wanna know — so we can show you the best form of flattery and copy, of course!
