Day 2: Monday November 16 (Robin)

Today was not a great example of Fit not Fat... and it's only day two! But, as I am still considering the next couple days as part of my "inventory" phase, I think it's okay: I need to get a good look at my (bad) eating habits in order to know what and how to fix them.

Breakfast:
- 1 cup black coffee
- 1 croissant
- small cup OJ

Lunch:
-
personal size cheese pizza
- carrot and lettuce salad (approx half cup)
- 1 clementine
(Monday is eat with friends at school cafeteria day... VERY limited veggie options which usually means I resort to the pizza, or just eat the side dishes... today's side dishes were creamed spinach, creamed corn and rice. No thanks!)

Snack:
- individual serving banana yogurt
- 2 chocolate chip cookies
(Monday and Tuesday I babysit from 7-9am and from 4:45-7pm, so I usually have a snack with the girls in the afternoon... they are French, they like cookies... so do I! But, clearly, the cookie snack is going to have to be given up, or reduced to only one cookie)

Dinner:
-
1 hard boiled egg
- 2 inches of french baguette
- 1 clementine
- 1 square of dark chocolate

Water: about 1,5 L

Exercise:
- biking to and from school and babysitting: about 25 minutes, leisurely pace, partly uphill

As mentioned, the babysitting book-ending a day of class and studying doesn't leave me much exercise time on Mondays and Tuesdays. I have (generally) arranged my running schedule so that those days are my "recoop" days, but sometimes the weather or an early work schedule means that I have more recoop days than are probably necessary. BUT - I have just signed up to run a 20km race on the 29th, so the training must start ASAP!

  1. 20km, holy crap! Good luck, Robin! I'm sure you'll do awesome, but damn, if I tried that in the shape I'm in, I'm pretty sure I'd die!!
