Shelley: Day 29

Hello Day 29! I had a very active day thanks mostly to Katie. We decided yesterday to take a long walk today and we actually followed through. I headed over to Katie's around 1:30pm and we got home around 5:00pm (though we did stop at a park to give the boys a snack and stretch their legs).

It was kind of a weird food day today. I didn't eat much at all until later in the day and I had a bought of super hunger that not only made me grumpy but probably led me to eat a bit more than I should have. I didn't break the wagon by heading to In-N-Out or anything but I did eat more than I was hoping I would.

I did however have a frozen White Castle Burger (they are 110 cal each) because they were at the grocery store and I have been curious what the big deal is about. Turns out. . .nothing, not even worth the 110 cal. Fortunately I only had one but it didn't really fill me up so I supplemented with Chicken Broth, my favorite go-to filler.

Half way through our walk my wienie lunch was not cutting it so we stopped by Quizno's where I got a kid's turkey and cheese sami. Yummy, filling, and only 200cal. I gave the cookie that came with it to Dan (Katie's Hubby). Fortunately, Dan's stomach is a garbage disposal;0).

Today's Food Summary:

BMR CALC: 1691-1370=321 Deficit (I added 300cal 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.

Katie and I walked together so ditto the calorie count. Things are looking good. I just need to do a better job of snacking to keep my metabolism rolling.

Until Tomorrow. . .
