Stephanie's Food Journal

Pre-Breakfast - 1/2 serving Cheerios & 1/4 cup milk  (Is it just me, or can anyone else manage to exercise on an empty stomach?  I have to have something small before I run, or all I think about it my growling tummy.  I think it's a mental thing, but hey - works for me.)

Breakfast - Kellogg's Nutri-Grain bar - (Rushed out the door and that's all I could "grab".)

Morning Snack - Small (I mean teeny-tiny) green salad with a squirt of Ranch dressing.

Lunch - Stir-Fry (1 cup white rice, 1/2 cup chicken/broccoli/water chestnuts)

Afternoon Snack(s) - 1/2 cup light ice cream, piece of whole wheat toast, Ritz crackers and cheese, 1/4 dry granola (Yes, the afternoons are my downfall.  I just can't seem to get the snacking under control in the afternoon.)

Dinner - Tuna Casserole, Green Salad

Evening Snack -  1 cup Fruit Loops with skim milk (I know, I know - I really didn't need this.  I could have lived without it, but hey, what can I say?)

Exercise:  4 mile Run (38 minutes) and 25 minute moderate walking.
Calories:  1624 (according to My Fitness Pal)
Water:  3 Glasses - not nearly enough, I know - working on this one.

Not the best day I've had, but far from the worst.  I did recognize that I made some different food choices when I knew I would have to report it.  But, I really have no excuse for those Fruit Loops.  Bleh.

  1. Nice run! And, nope I cannot exercise on an empty stomach What kind of ice cream? My fav low fat is the Dryer's 1/2 fat mint cookie - oh how I love that stuff!

  2. I usually go for my morning run before I eat just because It makes me want to throw up if I have eaten:)...If I am absolutely starving I grab a piece of fruit with maybe a little peanut butter before I go...but usually I wait. If I exercise in the afternoon or early evening...I always wait and eat after. Isn't it interesting how are bodies are all so different?
