maggief Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 DAY 44: Earlier this week I started a blog to capture elements of my W30 and other things going on in my life. I haven't told anyone about it yet, but figured I'd share it here first in case anyone wants to check it out... Here's to spreading the good food word! Lol Here's the link: http://mequalsone.com/ Sleep: 9 hours What I ate: Post-run: banana, leftover chicken breast Brunch: small spinach omelet, deviled egg, sausage, smoked salmon, grilled zucchini, mushrooms, artichoke hearts Snack: baby carrots and broccoli with guacamole, apple Dinner: browned ground beef, roasted broccoli and cauliflower, apple Breakdown: 2,163 calories, 137.5g fat (57%), 136.9g carbs (23%), 113.2g protein (21%) Exercise: 45-minute run. I didn't measure how far I ran, but I'd guess something around 4 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
