Weigh In: Already reported
Calories: Total guess, around 1500?
Today was a wierd day for me in the eating department. I did my 5k run (runners and bloggers, read my last post if you haven't already), and then we had a surprise 50th birthday party for my mom that I helped organize. Long story made short, I didn't eat all day - even after my run, until after 2pm when I got to the party. I wasn't even hungry, it was strange. I was so busy that I didn't even think about food. I literally had 0 calories for the day at 2:30pm.
At the party, I did pretty well. When the snacks and appetizers were going around, I munched on pickle spears, carrots and broccoli, and washed it down with Diet Coke. For dinner (around 4pm-ish), I had some sweedish meatballs and taco salad, my two favorites. I also had about 4 cheese/crackers throughout the day. I skipped the desserts and sweets, and did pretty good.
I was pretty full after that, so I didn't eat anything else all night. It's 10:24pm as I type this, and I'm not hungry at all.
So I'm guessing I had like 1500 calories today - but I could be way off. I had about 10 meatballs (those little tiny ones) and like 3 scoops of taco salad and then veggies, so who knows, but I know I was in line, if not 'too low'. Either way, I did well considering what was there.
Today wasn't a day you'll find in the "great eating handbook", but I handled my business, and the bottom line is that I kept it under where I need to be. Another day in the books.

curious to know what you consider acceptable for the "healthy eating streak". Not eating all day until dinner might not be the best thing for someone working out such as yourself.
Jay - the healthy eating streak is to keep me from my binge eating and overeating. I consider a 'streak breaker' to be that day when I cheat on the calories - anything really over like 2400 would do it.
If I know that I shouldn't have eaten what I did and have those typical addiction regrets, that's a cheat to me.
Hey Rob, it has been a couple of weeks and you still haven't updated the challenge blog, did you give up on it?
I only got 8 weigh ins. I guess I could update it but it doesn't really do much when 1/2 the people don't report in.
Hey, you handled business. Any day when you don't end up going the wrong way is a good one.
Oh how I wish you'd written "handled my bidness" instead of "handled my business." I'll just pretend you did. Way to handle your bidness.
While most days I eat really healthfully and stick to my calorie target for the day, some days you just have to have that peanut butter cup or cranberry-orange scone. I figure that as long as I'm below my calories, and as long as it's only an occasional (read: NOT EVERYDAY) indulgence, then no harm, no foul. So as long as you set a standard for your streak, and stick to it, like you have been, then you're golden.
Golden Boy.
