In dire need of food today!

So, I'm super hungry today!  I just finished wolfing down some potato & leek soup, plus half an english muffin and all of a sudden it's hit bottom.  I'm pretty sure a brick is now sitting in the bottom of my belly.  At 34 years old, I should know not to eat food too quickly!

Exercise

50 minutes on elliptical - burned 525 calories

35 crunches

35 leg lifts

10 puke inducers

12 reps on each of the 9 machines in the weight circuit + inner and outer thigh machines

Introduced a bit of stretching today - felt good!

45 minutes shoveling snow... boo.

1 hour shoveling snow... more boo!

Food

1 cup Guardian cereal with 1% milk

1 cup (homemade) leek & potato soup

1/2 whole wheat English muffin

1 tbsp almond butter (100 calories!!!!)

1 litre water

1/2 cup f/f s/f yogurt (the yucky one that I'm trying to finish)

5 strawberries

1.5 eggs

1/2 whole wheat English muffin

1 tbsp salsa

Small sprinkling light cheddar

1/2 tbsp maple syrup

2/3 pancake

1 veggie sausage

Cuppa with milk and EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

The Splenda, or EXTERMINATE! as I come to refer to it as, is almost done.  Once it's gone from the cupboard, I shall not buy anymore.

I hummed and hawed over the almond butter because of the crazy amount of calories, but I was really wanting some protein.  I don't normally crave almond butter, so I thought if my body was asking for it, I should accommodate.  Now if it was a slice of vanilla cake (ughghghgh...) I'd have to say 'no', but something pretty healthy like almond butter, yep.

Last night I trapped Graham's leg between mine and squeezed as hard as I could, the fool liked it!  He said soon I'd be able to crack nuts with my thighs, thus the picture of dear Hillary.
