Happy Wednesday lunchtime everybody!!
Run was great again this morning! Air was fairly cool, saw some other folks up walking, their smartphones glowing in the dark like mine. We looked like giant sweaty fireflies. But everyone was pleasant.
I wonder how many of us will still be out there when it gets cold.
Sugar-free challenge* is still going GREAT. Refused some banana muffins this morning, getting my sugar (fructose) from an apple and some pineapple tidbits. Yum.
I track my food and exercise on a terrific app called MyFitnessPal. Just go to http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ to download on your phone or computer/tablet. You can set fitness goals here, and you can track any food. Their database has like 50,000 foods in it, and you simply have to type "Aldi Pineapple Cup" or something general like that in the search bar to get the food that you need to log. It's awesome. AND you can track your exercise here too.
Here's where lunchtime can be fun. You log your exercise first, which puts you at a calorie deficit for the day. In other words, you start the day below zero on your calorie requirements.
I'm making this too complicated. You get extra calories to eat!!! There it is!!!!
Also, if you're eating well and keeping an eye on your food, you feel proud of yourself. You've already accomplished something for the day. Then when you look at your remaining calories for the day, you have a lot left for supper and healthy snacks later. Or if you're full, you can stop eating and leave those calories on the table.
That's it for today! Hope you all found some time in your day to do something that's really important to you.
Today's run: 2.05 miles, verified by the Nike + running app. Here's my activity through today: https://www.nike.com/us/en_us/p/myactivity/
