12/09 – Pain of the Day (PotD)
by codemonkey on Dec.09, 2009, under Workout Logs
I got in 3.2 miles today. Burned about 550 kcals. Found out something interesting about my Garmin Forerunner — it does not compute kcals unless there is movement. But, it does plot my heart rate, and I still have my average HR, so, I can compute it myself — but — I thought it was strange.
Right after running I ate a banana and a protein shake. I was completely sated. I had to force myself to eat two scrambled eggs and a bowl of oatmeal to get my morning calories where they should be. And, this is when I’m glad I didn’t pre-plan my meal. I was planning on boiled eggs, but they were out, so I ate two scrambled eggs instead. Breakfast total: 663kcals. 48% carbs 24% fat, 27% protein. So, assuming a 2000kcal plan, I’m 1/3 of the way there — and things are looking good. I did forget to bring my morning snack protein shake to work . .hmmm . . . I’ll have to figure something out there. Maybe beef jerkey.
I think I’m going to do the hundredpushups.com working this evening. And maybe throw in some dumbbell biceps workouts too . . . don’t know. I’m shooting from the hip today.
