Day 36

This weekend has clearly been about healthy activities but not healthy eating.  Yesterday I did 17 miles on the bike, today I ran a 10K.  So in terms of an accomplishment I finished the 10K in 1 hour and 5 minutes which compares very favorably to my 5K time as well (a little bit slower as an average pace, but not too bad).  Unfortunately the unhealthy eating reared its head after the race when I went and got pizza for the day.  Not really too bad of course, and while I did eat a little too much on the day it was certainly balanced by the run. 

Of course what's worse is that I completely recognize that my craving pizza after the race is due to the race organizers having pizza available, but only for a subset of participants.  Since I didn't want to eat the food they did have for runners (some sort of crappy pasta dish), and wasn't allowed to have pizza, I was both very hungry and craving pizza on my way home from the run.  There wasn't much chance of eating healthy after a 45 minute drive of that combo.

Food today:  egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast (300 calories), pizza and breadsticks for lunch (1500 calories), dinner was another couple slices of pizza (500 calories).  Exercise was the 10K run (800 calories).

Today's Results:
Daily Food Total:  2300

Exercise:  800
Points Earned:  1500
Total Points Earned:  42935
Points to go:  157065
