day 7: things i forgot to do today

the main forgotten must-do was eat. i forgot my breakfast at home (i usually eat it while i'm going through e-mails at work in the morning), ate lunch, didn't have time for my afternoon snack and ate a delicious dinner whose caloric and nutritional content did not make up for the lack of eating.

things i forgot how to do today: shift gears effectively on a bike. equals my chain may or may not be hanging in an awkward spot that doesn't actually allow my bike to function. so far this is working out really, really well. (i'm taking it to the shop around the corner tomorrow.)  also, does anyone know where i can get a milk crate for the back?

in other news: yay week 1! i feel good, i feel freakishly energized and accomplished even though it's only been a few days.

food
daily: 1500c, 73p, 25f

avocado/tuna open-faced sandwich: 455c, 20p, 5f
shaved asparagus pizza (one serving for dinner and another after i realized i hadn't eaten and got back from my run understandably hungry): 500c, 20p, 6f

totals: 955, 40p, 11f
need: 545c, 33p, 14f

exercise
running: easy 30 min = 389 calories
(i ran 9 minute miles-ish today. again, not amazing yet. but my body is slowly but surely remembering what it's used to.)

net: 566

so what i should probably do is eat some chicken before i go to bed. it's late. i hate eating this late. but i guess i hate it less than waking up starving and not being able to eat like a normal human at all tomorrow?


changes my totals
food [update]
add chicken with goat cheese and onions: 274c, 39p, 2f
 totals: 1229c, 79p, 13f
need: 271c, 0p, 12f

net: 840c.

not amazing, but better.

also maybe i should do some weekly stats:
goal 1: posting at least every other day. CHECK.
goal 2: keep logs of food and exercise. CHECK.
average food totals: 1492c, 66p, 17f (need a little more protein, need more fiber! equals more fruit prolly)
average calories burned through exercise per day: 270c
average net: 1222c
goal 3: try a new thing each week. CHECK. (bike riding, bike buying. didn't work out so well, but i tried! will continue to try.)
goal 4: spend an hour outside a day. CHECK. (mostly.) although i definitely need to remember to blog about that.
goal 5: mindfulness in healthy living. CHECK. it's been a really wonderful, thoughtful week.

weight lost: 2.6 lbs. 27.4 to go!

....but i'm up too late again. time to go to bed.
