Feeling Ick

I have the WORST headache this morning...I feel like I'm getting a cold :( Which is a total bummer, because I was so excited to be done with my marathon and to be able to do "normal" things (go to kickboxing, go to a bar on a friday night, etc.) Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it except get lots of rest, so I'll just try to do that. Sigh. This morning I weighed in at 146.5 - good! Surprising considering my "dinner" last night consisted of chips and guac, some popcorn at the movies, some trail mix, and 1/2 box of raisinets (= 1480 + 150+200+170 = 2000 calories yesterday). Isn't it funny..that seems so high, and that's probably my recommended calorie intake. Today is Thursday, which means it's a travel day. I hate travel days because my eating is totally unpredictable..who knows when I'll be able to eat dinner and what it will be . I am just going to try to get my six meals in, and by as healthy as I can. Funny, because I just had half a scone for breakfast. Oh well, at least I only had half!

Pretty good, but considering I didn't exercise, probably should have had less. Today I am going to try to come in more around 1500. My muscles are still sore from the marathon, so I don't think I'm going to workout again today..I went for a walk this morning and did some stretching to hopefully improve their flexibility. Menu so far today...
Power Bar - 200 cals

Latte and 1/2 Mini Scone - 320 cals

Trail Mix - 100 cals

Salmon Salad w/ Dressing - ~500 cals
Chocolate - 100 cals

My First Marathon!

I can't believe I did it! It was so hard...those last six miles was one of the toughest things I've done in my life. Now that it's over, I can't wait to get back to losing weight and being a little more well-rounded in my efforts...
More details on the marathon later, but I wanted to start doing something I was doing a while ago, which is post my menu every day. I know it's not very exciting, but it helps keep me honest :)

Today:
Grande Latte
Maple Scone
Apple
Balance Bar
Tortilla Chips (1.5 servings)
Wheat thins (about 1 serving)
String Cheese
Salami (1 serving)
Ice cream

Total = 1810

Not bad, considering I was still in marathon-splurge mode :) A little heavy on the carbs, but I was craving them!
