day 1 part 2: records

so...i'm not exactly sure how the records posts are going to go from here on out. i suspect they'll be more about me than you, which i sort of apologize for but hey. it's my blog. sort of.

i think i'm going to try and keep track of my goals by number. i'm checking my protein and fiber because fiber's important! and i've been told a few times that i'm probably not getting enough protein.

..until. now.

goal 2a and b: log food/exercise

food

daily needs:
calories - 1500 (assuming rigorous exercise)
protein - 73
fiber - 25

1 minneola: 70 cal, 1g protein, 3g fiber
1/2c whole wheat couscous: 90 cal, 3.5g protein, 1.5g fiber
1/2c Greek Gods Greek yogurt: 130 cal, 4g protein, 0g fiber
1/2c blueberries: 40 cal, 0g protein, 3g fiber
1c romaine: 8 cal, 0g protein, 1g fiber
1/3c cannellini beans: 66 cal, 4g protein, 3g fiber
1 tbsp Green Goddess dressing: 75 cal, 0g protein, 0g fiber
1/4c cucumber: 0, 0, 0
1c chilled avocado soup: 152c, 6.2p, 4.5f
1 oz pepperjack cheese: 110c, 7p, 0f
salmon with mango-kiwi relish: 321c, 36.8p, 1f
1c ww couscous: 180c, 7p, 3f

so, after dinner: 1242c, 69.5p, 20f

need: 258c, 3.5p, 5f


exercise
running:
5 min warm-up/5 min cool-down
10 1-minute sprints
10 2-minute recoveries
= about 430 calories


...and i did yoga for about 15 minutes. hey, it was 5am. i think 15 minutes is admirable for that early in the day, right?

AND i ran around the state capitol leaving snarky gifts for legislators. (http://mnpublius.com/post/5610410978/these-little-boxes-showed-up-on-the-desks-of-house) so...that.

alright. net calories: too low. equals my body will go into starvation mode and start hanging on to everything i even consider eating. gross.

goal 4: be outside for at least an hour every day: mission accomplished. not as much time as i've spent outside in recent days, but probably over an hour and a half. it was gorgeous outside

goal 5: mindfulness. i soaked in as much of the sunset during my run as i could. it was so, so beautiful. even all of the bugs i ate.



thanks for hanging in there for my first day! many, many blog posts to come.
