day 42: reel it back in

i feel like i've fallen off the wagon a little. and i'm going to attempt to climb back on it. i didn't count calories very closely this weekend (although i'm 90% sure that i stayed well within my limits), and ate too much yesterday. meanwhile, exercise feels a little erratic. i'm annoyed that my heart rate monitor is once again broken and annoyed that my bike is again giving me problems. somehow, i have to go get it fixed before i ride into work on thursday...and i'm only riding into work twice this week (yet again), which makes me feel like a failure. aghhhh. i'm trying to really focus on that sleep thing. hoping it will help me climb back on.

---later
so, i almost skipped my run. and then i was like, you know what? it's half an hour. this is easy. i can do this. and i went and it was wonderful. so grateful for feeling fit again.

food
egg bagel: 310c, 11p, 4f
1 tbsp cream cheese: 50c, 1p, 0f
asparagus and mushroom risotto: 535c, 13.5p, 1.5f
ants on a log: 145c, 4p, 3f
1 piece strawberry cake: 363c, 4.5p, 0.5f
 shakshuka without a pita: 285c, 11.5p, 1.5f
1c chocolate milk:  180c, 8p, 0f
1 piece strawberry cake: 363c, 4.5p, 0.5f

=2231c, 58p, 11f

proof that i need to eat more fruits and vegetables: LOOK AT HOW LITTLE FIBER THAT IS. ongoing goal. the problem is that vegetables don't give you a lot of calories quickly. which is usually a good thing but is lately a bad thing.

exercise
about 3.6 miles in 32 min (@6.8mph) = 420c
for rowing, i sat in the launch for half of practice, so i'm going to estimate, based on the 2k sprint we did beforehand and the forty-five minutes-ish of rowing that i did...this is a low estimate = 250c

burned: 670c

net: 1561c

grateful
for a refocused vision..and super excited for rowing tonight! (and to get my bike fixed tomorrow.) 
that i wore spandex today at rowing and didn't even worry about my thighs jiggling. victory.

  1. Running is the best for lifting your spirits. I love your attitude. "You know what? It's half an hour." Indeed
