today...

Today I am recording my food. So far it's 1:45 in the afternoon and I've had 235 calories, leaving me plenty for an afternoon snack and dinner. And actually, I'm planning on vegetable soup for dinner, so I'll have plenty for snacks this afternoon and evening, which will be helpful as I transition out of snack-mode and back into calorie counting mode. I'm over halfway through my protein for the day, but I really need to work on fiber, as I've only had 4 grams and I need another 20 or so more. Dinner will provide me with 180 calories and 8 grams of fiber, so... (thinking aloud here) that puts me at 355 calories and 12 g. fiber. If I add to that 200 g. of strawberries I'm at 415 calories and 16 g. fiber. Now... that leaves me in need of another 9+ grams of fiber and 685+ calories. I can get my 9 grams of fiber in one Fiber One bar, plus 140 calories. Or I could get 10 grams of fiber and 180 calories from 2 slices of Fiber Flax Bread. The Flax Bread would also give me 10 grams of protein, which would be helpful. And if I went that route I'd have 500 calories to blow tonight at Erika's party, provided there will be food there. Something to think about.

It's hard to get back into calorie counting mode.

It's also hard to get back into an exercise routine, but today is Wednesday so I ought to do my C25K run and then, if Ellie is still sleeping, perhaps some DDR. Of course, I could use the rest of her naptime to clean up the kitchen and put laundry away, too. I wish I were a little more productive and efficient with my time sometimes. At least I started my day out right this morning and did my devotions before I let myself check email or do anything else.

Okay... off to run.
