What do you want to know??

Is there something that anyone out there wants to know that I haven't answered already?  Please send me them and I'll be happy to answer them as best I can!

My mom wants to know when I drink water.  All the TIME!!!  I have a portable water bottle that holds about 3 cups that I take with me almost everywhere.  To workouts, in the car, at the computer, watching TV--whatever I'm doing, my water is pretty close by with lots of cold ice--because that's how I like it!!!  If I only drink it 4 times a day, that gets me 12 cups and that's really not hard to do at all.  Just keep it accessible!

My mom also wanted to know how I handled the bridal shower we threw for our youngest sister on Saturday.  What I did was I enjoyed the many fruits and vegetables that we provided there.  Then I took home a bunch of cream puffs and a lot of the cake as well and ate them the very next day, on my free day.  It's not as hard to resist if you know you'll have it on YOUR TERMS.  You're in control--the food is not the boss of you!

So, today I had my normal protein shake for breakfast (180 cal).

Lunch was a PB&J sandwich, pretzel sticks, and a granola bar (385 cal)

Ate another granola bar while I was making dinner because I was starving because the kids and I had been gone all afternoon (90 cal).

And then, I had 2 pieces of the homemade BBQ chicken pizza I made for dinner because I was so low on my calorie count for the day.  Roughly 500-600 calories.

Then I ate a bunch of raspberries at my daughter's baseball game (45 cal).

So, before I factor in the 2 workouts I did today (morning and 5 mile run tonight), my calorie count was 1300--which is still under my daily allotment.

Another good day!  This should be a really good week for me, because my 10 K race is Saturday and I surely intend to be in the best condition possible!  Hope everyone else had a great day!

  1. Hey Carrie. I hope you don't mind, I saw you posted your blog address on facebook (for Audra, but facebook shared it with me too;). I'm curious what you do about you free day on fast Sunday? Do you just switch it to Saturday?
