Shelley: Day 24

PHOTO: This is the Runkeeper Logo. I really like this App. It was really helpful and very motivating!

So I have really struggled with whether or not to confess but I want to be honest with myself with means being honest with you. We had a great day at the pool with Katie and James and Will passed out on the way home. I was so hungry and In-N-Out was just too close. . .so, yes, I did it again. I did do it a bit smarter this time (protein style, etc) but I'm still a fool for caving.

As penance for my indiscretion I took Will for a two mile speed walk. Amazingly, I still only burned 200 calories which definitely didn't cover my cheat and also reminded me of just how much working out I would need to do to make up for such a mistake. However, I did find out I really LOVE Runkeeper, it's an Iphone App that tracks your run/walk, etc. and lets you know your pace and how many calories you are burning in addition to your distance. The free version is plenty robust for me and I really like it.

After our walk I headed to Costco to get a couple of things. Is it just me, or does the Costco on Kifer feel like a war zone at times? After I fought my way to the registers and back to our parking spot I was just relieved to be getting out of there. That has got to be one of the worst run Costco's in America (they are always out of stock on basics like paper plates, TP, etc. so annoying!), and it's dirty and poorly organized to boot. OK, Costco rant over, but Costco CEO's if you are reading this, please remodel, reorganize, and hire new management!

Jason helped my cousin work on the condo he purchased and is remodeling so it was a solo night for me and the mini. He got pretty snuggly for a little while which I LOVE.

I just want to say I am committing to do better tomorrow and plan to tighten up my eating.

Today's Food Summary:

Breakfast:

2oz Canned Chicken, 1tsp light ranch, dill relish and mustard to dress it up (200cal)

Snack:

Nada, too many calories today!

BMR CALC: 1691-1640=51 Deficit (I added 100cal for misc snitches of my little guy's food.)

(For an explanation please see Shelley: Day 1 Post) Also, I updated my BMR from 1760 to 1691. As I lose weight that number will continue to fall.

I did burn an extra 200 cal working out which makes my net deficit for today -251, not really big enough to keep me losing like I'd like to.

Until tomorrow. . .
