Hungry, but I didn't cave...

Last night I was STARVING. Seriously, belly growling loudly hungry. I that piece of squirrely toast, but I cut it in half and made it into a sandwich with imitation crab in it for some protien. But come bedtime, I had such a hard time getting to sleep because my stomach was so loud.

But I refused to give in to it. I had planned my day, and I knew it was nutritionally sound for fuelling my body. I didn't need more.

I have a few more calories planned today, since I'm going for a Sun Run training run. I impressed myself last time by running for 18 minutes straight. I'm going to push for 20 today before a walking break. It's exciting to me to get back outside to do it! Yay for no more snow!!

Here's my fuel for today:

Br: 1/3 cup of porridge w/ 1 kiwi, 1/3 cup of pineapple, 2/3 cup almond breeze, splashes of vanilla, coconut and banana extracts, and a tablespoon each of roasted squash seeds (from last nights sketti squash) and toasted almonds. Plus milk and vitamin. (504 calories)

Ln: 1 serving of the sketti squash/buffalo leftover from last night, plus a half of a crab sandwich on squirrely bread (322 calories)

Sn: .5 cup plain fat free yogurt with a pear (165 calories)

Dn: 4 oz pork tenderloin with 2 tbls bbq sauce on a burgerfirst bun with a side of 1 cup steamed fresh green beans (483 calories)

That's a days total of 1473 calories.

Magda asked me what my resting caloric burn was in a day, on my previous post. It's 1664.

Because I am doing a walking/running thing today, it's telling me this:

for weight maintenance:

Calories Allowed 1938
Calories Consumed 1473
Net Calories 465

A high net calories number indicates that I am burning more calories than I eat, which could result in weight loss.

for weight goal:

Calories Allowed 1662
Calories Consumed 1473
Net Calories 189

I can eat more today and still stay on track toward my weight goal.
