Breakfast today was two hard boiled eggs and an apple. This was the same breakfast I used to eat a lot when i was in the navy. Today at work we had Chinese food for lunch. I don't know how many calories I consumed, I am guessing it was over 1000, but it was sure tasty. I felt very stuffed, which is not a good feeling for me any more. I am fairly sure that I should have split it in two and had the left overs for lunch tomorrow. Dinner was family night at my mom's house. We had a London broil with green salad and a home made lemon meringue pie. As i had a huge lunch I made sure i didn't over eat, but lemon meringue pie has a lot of calories. Most of those calories are from the sugar and love... lots of tasty, tasty love.
I didn't make my calorie goal for the day but I can't let that get me down. I now know what I need to do when confronted with a meal like the one I had for lunch.
I walked for a total 23 minutes walked about 1.21 miles at 2.6 mph and burned 204 calories.
While I was at work I received a message from my wife that there was a wreck on the freeway that started a fire. This led me to think about how important it is to have a fire extinguisher in your vehicle emergency kit. Even a small fire extinguisher could potentially save someones life. Other things that one should include in the kit are a first-aid kit capable of stopping severe bleeding. This doesn't have to be fancy it really only needs to be a couple of kotex pads. A blanket as one of biggest killers of people in accidents is shock. Water in case you break down and have to wait or to give to someone who is broken down. Finally all to tools you need to change a tire on your car.
Totals for today:
Steps: 5170/5000
Cal intake: 1680/1500
Cal burn: 821/900
Walk time: 23/20min
Liquid intake: 96/100oz
Rudy I think you over exaggerated the amount of calories at lunch. Chinese food is not a horrible choice. Good thought on fire extinguishers and first aid
ReplyDeleteWhen I actually looked it up it wasn't over 1000. It just felt like it.
