Eating on the road

Two back-to-back days of eating on the road sucked.
I did the food log and was over on both days -- just barely on one day, well over on the other.
No exercise either day. That's coming, but probably not until July.

Today's a new day.
Here we go!

Here I go again!

It has been a while since my last post. 
I posted this over at Out of My Hat. 
Yeah, it's time to get busy, once again.

I'm back to logging foods on the My Fitness Pal app. It's kind of a pain in my oversized ass, but it seems the best way for me to help reduce the size of it. I've done well today and still have 450 calories available today, so I'm good for a late snack if I decide I really want one.

I did not get any exercise in today. I still need to decide what that's going to look like. I get some daily activity in just by working around the yard, but activity is different from exercise and I need to figure out what I'm going to do.

I'm pleased with this as a first day back to paying attention to my diet.
I need to push to protein up a bit (that always seems to be a challenge).
My break down today is 42% carbs, 33% fats and 25% protein.
My target is 35% carbs, 35% fats, and 30% protein.
I don't mind the carbs being up a little if it is from whole grains or fresh fruits. I just want to be careful about the added sugars and processed starches.

Tonight's dinner:
Baked potato w/butter and sour cream
Smoked salmon
Kale salad.



Be well, 
John
