Diet – Day 3 of 7 Days 10.14.09

Interesting, you might think that I eat the same or similar things every day, but like anyone; I go through phases. Lately, I have been enjoying chocolate milk, oatmeal, and bagels with peanut butter. If it seems to be working and I am feeling good, I stick with the diet. And with my big race just around the corner, changing up my diet too much is probably a bad idea.

-btw 1) I switched around the columns so the fats, proteins, and carbos were displayed. For some reason, some of the columns get cut off when I posted to my blog.

-btw 2) Normally, I tend to feel like I over eat by getting extra large portions. But with calorie tracking initiative midway to completion, I actually feel pretty good about the amounts that I am eating. Evening after this week, I may continue to track my foods and calorie counts.

Bill, I crush your calories my friend! Oatmeal every morning? and a bagel for lunch, are you kidding me? I eat a turkey sandwich as a snack for my lunch. If I ate a bagel for lunch everyday I would certainly loose about 10 extra pounds.
Definitely, it is harder maintaining a good diet when I am traveling but when I am home; I just do it.

Something that I am learning is that I need to spread my eating through out the day.

Having several small meals is better than having 3 big meals because it keeps energy flowing to the body.

The hardest part about traveling is that some time you only get a few chances to eat and when I do, I tend to over consume.


Also I don't eat oatmeal/bagels every day for ever, you just caught me during my oatmeal/bagel week. :)
