VERY COOL..I'm afraid my joints would kill me from running anymore. I'm more into walking. I did some walking today. Not a ton of it but it was over 100 degrees this afternoon.

 

I was on the phone this morning with the internet provider to clear up teh problems that we've been having. Shocking but they told us to fix the problem, we need to get another provider..Wow.

Calories: 1672

I'm off tomorrow to go see my surgeon. I haven't seen him in 5 years. I hope he lets me order my
labs next year without going to see him cuz it's 200 miles! Otherwise, I'll have to have my
PCP order the tests in October from now on.

I'm happy with the numbers and the day.

 My Fitbit stats are for walking.  I have ony tried running a little.  I feel like I am a clod and literally pounding at the pavement.  I may not be doing it right or I am just "cloddy".  I may have to have someone teach to do it right.

OK, I am joining up with you guys and giving my accountability figures.  I was happy with day 1.  I was pretty motivated so my calories were lower than I normally get.  Drinking tha****er makes all the difference.  Got my running in at 7 am today!

Feel freeto make ANY suggestions to my meals.  They are random and I getting back on track.

turkey deli meat	90
bocca burger	70
amy's burrito	290
grilled chicken sandwich	350
grilled pork chop	205
Total Calories	1005
Water 64 ounces (y/n?)	Yes!
Ran 30 minutes (2.50 miles)	Yes
Weight	160

 Good to have you.  Are you going to be tracking protein, fats and carbs too?

Thanks Michael!  I haven't tracked that so far, but do you think that I should?  I can sure start!!

I think it is a good idea.  When you get to maintenance, it helps you balance out your intake.  When I got to maintenance I met with my Nutritionist.  We determined my Resting Metabolic Rate, what my caloric intake should be based on my activity level and the percentage of each nutrient needed to meet my calorie needs.  During my weight loss phase, almost 50% of my caloric intake was protein and the balance was fat and carbs.  I was, obviously, taking in less calories then.  In maintenance, with a daily caloric need of 1500-1700 calories, 50% protein would send my total grams through the roof.  Basically, I try to shoot for 35%-40% protein, 35%-40% carbs (always aiming to keep this total at a level that is less than my protein intake) and 30% fat.  This bounces around, but for the most part I keep all of them in the 30%+ range.  Essentially, if I did a pie graph, it would be 33%, 33% and 33% instead of 50%, 25%, 25%.
Does this help?  As I am not a health professional, I urge you to speak to your doctor or nutritionist about what your nutrient targets should be.

Michael - that helps so much and actually has me thinking that i should see a nutritionist:)   i am in dallas, so i am sure they are easy to find!
If I track mine for a couple of days, I would like to see where they are.  I would bet that my fats are WAYYYY to high:):)
