Food Photo Challenge Day 1 Complete

I drank 72oz water today! Holy crap! I NEVER drink enough water (I do however, drink entirely too much coffee) but today I rocked it! And I only had 2 cups of coffee.

I'm not sure how to get my pictures from Instagram onto here, so I'll just post a summary (from my food tracker at SparkPeople.com), and if you want to see the pics, click on the Instagram link.

As you can see, I still have some calories left, but I don't think I'm going to use them.

And I have no idea what I'm going to eat tomorrow since I used up the last of my salsa, guacamole, and salad stuff today. I better get in the kitchen and roast up that head of cauliflower that I can't decide what to do with, and then I'll hit up the grocery store on my way home from work tomorrow night.

I did 35 minutes on the Elliptical for a total of 4.31 miles and 318 calories burned. I'm trying to NOT run for the rest of the week, but I think by Friday I'll go batshit crazy if I don't get on the treadmill ;) We'll see.

Checking in

Not too much going on here. Toe is still broken (duh) but is starting to feel better, and the swelling has gone down considerably. So I went back to the gym today and did 4 miles on the elliptical. Other than my feet going numb after about 20 minutes it was all good!

As for food, nothing exciting there either. I'm still trying to shake off 2 more pounds to get back down to 116. Trying to figure out an "ideal" weight is not an easy task. 110 was definitely too small- I looked malnourished and my face was kinda sunken in, if that makes any sense. On the other hand, I felt too heavy at 120. If it makes any difference I'm 5'4 and small-boned.

So anyways, about those 2 pounds... I've decided to join in Allan's latest challenge, which starts on May 1st. The challenge is to take a picture of everything that goes in your mouth, BEFORE it goes in your mouth. I'm thinking that having to snap a picture of those late afternoon Nutter Butters or before bedtime spoonful of peanut butter with chocolate chips will stop me from doing it! I already know what you're thinking. I could still eat the crap and just not take a picture. But if you know me and any of my history, when I commit to something, I commit 100%. If I decide to have a Reese's (or any other kind of crap) you will see a picture of it! Alrighty then. Anyone else up for this? CLICK HERE for more information.

Have a great day :)
