Day 2 ... Still Hungry

When is the all-day hunger going to end?? My stomach needs to hurry up and shrink so it is not constantly wanting food!

In my Day 1 blog, I mentioned that I didn't eat breakfast. I didn't go to the grocery store (and still haven't) so I stuck with what I knew... eggs. I cooked a can of biscuits, and I put my scrambled egg in the biscuit. An egg biscuit, not too bad. Actually, it was pretty good. Normally my biscuits come with sausage and are from McDonald's. So I exchanged my 430 calories of McDonald's for my version with only 260 calories.

Sometime after breakfast I took Heinz for a walk around the neighborhood. We took the same route as yesterday because the sky looked as if it was going to fall out. Our neighborhood is very big, and all the houses look the same so I didn't want to wander too far off the path with rain on the way. With all the wind swirling around, the walk felt great and Heinz loved it, too! An easy way to lose 101 calories.

Lunch was pretty boring... I ate another egg biscuit. Because Jason only came home for a few minutes, I decided an egg biscuit would be an easy option for lunch. Only another 260 calories.

Laura and I met at Planet Fitness around 1:15 and had a pretty good workout. We used the elliptical machines for about a mile, or ten minutes, and I burned 88 calories. Then we switched to the bike for another 92 calories. Why so random and not push on to 100 calories? Because 88 + 92 = 180, the calories from one biscuit (minus the egg).

Instead of going to the grocery store, I began a deep clean of the house. I cleaned the kitchen and dining areas and the living room. Too bad vacuuming isn't listed as a calorie burner on The Most Accurate Calories Burned Calculator because I'm sure I could count a large amount!

Procrastinating even more, I decided not to go to the grocery store before Jason came home from work/school. "My insides were eating each other" so we decided to go to Subway for dinner. I used Dottie's Weight Loss Zone for figuring out the calories I consumed in my roast beef sandwich. Jason and I also made an economical decision, too... we each bought $5 footlongs and saved half for lunch tomorrow.
