It’s important to know that at the end of the day it’s not the medals you remember.  What you remember is the process-- what you learn about yourself by challenging yourself, the experiences you share with other people, the honesty the training demands—those are things nobody can take away from you whether you finish last or you’re an Olympic Champion.

To tri is to risk failure, not to tri is to guarantee it!

Sorry I didn’t post this here.  That would have made more sense.  This was a first for me tracking my food.

Mini Food challenge

Mini food challenge - day 1

I don’t have a fit day account but I thought at least for this challenge I’d just keep track of what I’m eating.  I’ll look into fitday later.

Breakfast : Luna Lemon Zest bar ( I know, it’s not exactly a meal, but it was better than nothing)

mid morning snack: apple with 1 oz. cheese

lunch:  peanut butter sandwhich on 2 slices whole wheat bread
1 dole cup pineapple in juice

afternoon snack: yogurt 8oz low fat
handful of Annie’s organic cheddar bunny crackers

dinner: roast beef (aprox 2-3 oz.)
steamed green beans
small baked sweet potato
small corn on the cob

evening snack
1 nonni biscotti original - 90 calories, 3g fat
aprox 1 oz. almonds

late snack - 40z. lowfat yogurt

I went to the convienece store and did NOT buy any candy, especially halloween candy because I knew I’d have to write it down. (that’s a baby step).  I didn’t eat properly this morning ( waited too late) so I felt hungrier today, like I couldn’t catch up.  Planning is the key, which I didn’t do today.

Mini food challenge - day 2
Thur sep 28
I actually ate real food for breakfast today, not wanting to repeat yesterday
breakfast - 1 slice whole wheat bread, 1 8oz. nofat yogurt w/ ground up almonds, 1 c.  decaf green tea
a.m. snack - about 20 almonds, small banana
lunch - (leftovers) open faced roast beef sandwhich w/ mustard, lettuce, cucumbers and green beans
p.m. snack - smart start cereal bar, 1oz reduced fat cheese
dinner - grilled chicken breast, sweet potato, sweet peas
pm snack - 1 ghiradellli darkchoc square (50 cal, 4g fat) -yum
1 lfat yogurt

WOW… ok 2am Fri morning… just got back from seeing some friends. Let’s see if I can remember what I ate today (Thursday):

Breakfast: plain oatmeal, sliced apple (some in oatmeal.... mmmm), 1/2 c. cottage cheese (240)
Snack: skipped… oops
Lunch: 3 lettuce wraps, each w/ 2 slices of turkey, sliced almonds, tomatoes (450)
Snack: 20 pc. turkey “pepperoni” and slice of provolone (BAAAAAAAD… but oh so good) (180)

Out with friends…
Dinner: 2 delicious pieces of pepperoni pizza… There was nothing else and I budgeted, I swear! (560, from pizzahut.com. Thank god I stopped myself, I could’ve eaten the whole thing!)
2 Margaritas, 12 oz. sour mix (240)

Goal: 1200
Actual: 1670
Net: +470

Ouch....  I tried to plan all day for the margaritas… I didn’t plan on the dinner though. I guess next time I should make sure I eat before I go (this time I didn’t, so I was hungry when pizza came).

What’s horrible is that I had already avoided pizza once during the day.. *sigh*

It’s ok… with my elliptical workout and situps for the day I think I evened out.

I’m ready for the next MFC.

Onward to tomorrow!

Wow Carlyn!

You did great!!!  Very healthy!!!  I didn’t know we were listing the food we eat, but great idea!  I didn’t keep track yesterday, but I will for today.
I’m not that good at keeping track of calories, and all that, but will do my best.
this morning, I had coffee, 2 slices of whole wheat toast with a little natural peanut butter. 
About . . hmmm . . .450 calories!  Yikes! 
I need to go and ride my bike cool grin  Burn some calories! 
see you around!

Sorry Guys.. I got a little lost. I didn’t realize the MFC was out here and not in the 100 days. So, I kept track in Fitday. And.. I would probably give myself a 7/10 on this first one. On the next one, I promise to be more deligent about checking in!

Nice work on the first Challenge, everyone!
