Wednesday, March 3, 2010 (Day 39)

I find myself subconsciously trying to make up for last week.  I have been limiting my calories to about 600 calories per day this week.  Obviously that’s not good.  It’s not that I set a caloric number and try to stick with it.  It’s just that I drink my Slim-Fasts, avoid snacks (even healthy veggies) and then when dinner comes around I hate to eat a lot of calories and feel guilty, so I eat a 200 calorie can of soup.  So I end up at less than 600 calories for the day.  I was starving this morning and last night, so I decided to go to Subway for lunch and skip the Slim-Fast.  I ate a 6 inch turkey on wheat, no cheese.  280 calories.  I figure I’ll eat the other 6 inches for dinner tonight.  That will get me to 800.  I can’t convince myself to eat any more than that.  Maybe I’ll eat dinner early (on the way home) and then eat some veggies later on in the evening.  At least get me to 900 or 1000 calories for today.  Oh, and I put the treadmill on an incline for the very first time this morning.  Granted, I started at .5% incline just to try it out.  I did the last 30 minutes of my workout on 1% incline (and 3.3 mph).  I thought my shins would kill me because they have been the last couple days – but they didn’t bother me at all.  I feel good.
