Food - August 11

You've probably noticed I haven't done in a "real" blog post in over a month.  Honestly, I haven't had much to blog about (plus, I was on vacation for two weeks of that without high speed internet).  I'm still running, but you can see that through my mydailymile widget.  I want to start P90X again (at least a couple of the discs), but Harper's crawling and required constant supervision.  By the time Jason gets home at night, I'm too tired.  Thank goodness he's off for the next 4 days then switches to swings (working 1:00 PM to 1:00 AM) so I'll be able to get some exercise in during the mornings.

Anyways, since I don't have much else to talk about and because I'm doing a 6 week challenge with the girls at Blog to Lose, I'm going to start photojournaling my food.  Usually, I'm all or nothing when it comes to tracking.  I'll either measure everything to the gram and have meticulous spreedsheets detailing calories, fat, calcium, etc. or I throw in the towel if I don't know the exact nutritional content of something.  I figure using photos might help me stay on track since I don't NEED exact details.  I can see it in the picture.  Please feel free to leave me some feedback or yell at me when I have a less than stellar day!

Bedtime Snack (230)

Mounds (230)

Yes, I eat way too much at my desk.  I also justify eating a Mounds because coconut is a fruit and it has 3 grams of fiber.  Really, a Mounds bar is MUCH MUCH better than most other candy bars and it's dark chocolate too.  Dark chocolate is a health food!  And no HFCS!  Woo!  (See how I did that?)  I was a little light on the veggies yesterday with around 2 servings (spinach at lunch and peppers in the sauce at dinner.) 

Total of around 1735 calories, give or take.
