lower than yesterday but the protein is still pretty good.  Didnt have time for lunch so I had the big protein bar instead of my little one..lol.. darn.. had to eat more chocolate.. i think I need hypnotherapy for my chocolate addiction.. hehehe.. You all have a great day and I will see you tomorrow Carla

Your pedometer must have a setting where you can put in the length of your stride. It generally tells you to walk 10 paces and then measure and divide by 10 or something that that effect. My stride is about 23 inches. Once I put that into my pedometer it will tell me how many miles the number of steps I take is..Otherwise, you need to figure out what your stride is and then multiply the steps by your stride and then work out the number of inches to feet to a mile..Too much math for me right now..

My day:

Breakfast: malto meal, soy protein powder, soy milk and coffee (6 am)

Second Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 sausage links (what? was I out of my mind?) and about a half cup of hash browns. (10 am)

Lunch: another hamburger, actually a chili cheese burger. I managed to eat one half of the bun and all the chili and all the cheese and meat. (1:30 pm)

No after noon snack (duh, pouch was already busy). AND I sampled a few of the treats from Winco.

Dinner: 4 ounces of ham, 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of gravy and a 1/4 cup of yams.  (5 pm)

Dessert: 1/4 cup of smoked almonds (from Winco. this one won out). (6:30)

   Ok I edited this morning, the candy continued to tempt me last night and I grabbed some more; it's in the trash now, I don't need it here and don't want the temptation today.  I have put all of the Easter candy out of my eye contact range.

I think I'm experiencing reactive hypoglycemia. I wasn't feeling good today about 2 hrs after breakfast - my BP was 98/64 and my blood sugar was 59. Then after lunch - same thing and blood sugar dropped to 56 so I had a NSA fudgesicle and it came up to 115 then I felt better. Could be because I didn't have anything to eat until 8:30 this morning? Dunno... will have to keep an eye on that.

Please do.. Dont need you getting sick.  With exercising like you do you need more calories in your system.  I wouldnt doubt you felt that way with all that weight traiing you did.. might want to do a protein shake right before or after your workout to replinish your system. Take care and stay healthy and safe. Carla

I made the best avocado and cucumber salad with crumbled blue cheese...was the highlight of foods today, then I see I am still just over 1000 and I treated myself to hubby's mini dove bar **** cream) 2 bites and its gone....was only 5 grams of sugar.

This is just under my RMR (1130) to loose 1 lb a week I need to be -500 calories or work off 250 calories and be -250 cals per day in my foods  which is what I am aiming at...so far so good but today I am over, will have to see what it brings tomorrow. For me calories=pounds.

Have you had your RMR tested or is that calculated? You must be short like me!
