It truly is wearisome, all this macro nutrient counting. I believe it's worthwhile however. While managing one's body composition is as much about attitude as anything else, it still helps to understand the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. Until you actually measure what you're consuming, it is real easy to make false assumptions, and faulty decisions. The side benefit for me is the fact that I love analyzing stuff, and it becomes a bit of a motivator for me. I like to figure things out, and then try them out. I still have not found the magic answer but I believe it's there for the finding. Before I die I'm gonna discover the balance between exercise and diet that works for me. I intend on finding my "racing weight"!
Breakfast---2 toaster strudels---340, 50, 6, 14
Banana --100, 27, 0, 0
Lunch----.fruit--- 180, 45, 3, 0
And I gotta tell you this! The picture is a selfy taken with Mikes iPhone. Since we had to use the flash side of his phone---too dark in the theatre---we had to guess where we pointed the camera. That wasn't working til Colby came up with a brain wave. We took my phone and held it up in reverse picture mode on the far side of mikes phone!! Then we could see what was on Mikes screen, in my screen!! Get it? Pretty crafty that boy!
Easy swim today...long run tomorrow.

The reason I had to have 2 suppers tonite is because I went to a 6 oclock movie with two of my favourite men. We went to see Gravity at the Imax in 3D and I highly recommend it.
