wahoo i feel great right now. another good day, i think i stuck really close to 811. the only overt fat i had was a lara bar :) man i love those things, but i could tell after eating so simply all day that they're NOT ideal food. it hurt my stomach afterwards! ooops. anyway i was up at 5:30 AM this morning b/c i had to work super early, but i still had energy and was happy all day. here's my food for the day:

-2 bananas
-1 c. fresh-squeezed oj that i bought on the boss's dime ;) had to pick up pastries for a meeting and they said i could "get some for yourself, too" so i got myself oj! lol.
-apple
-2 bananas
-apple & banana (repetitive much?)
-lara bar
*3 mile run, abs pilates & some wimpy push-ups*
-SMOOTHIE w/ 2 bananas, strawberries, lots of frozen mango, frozen blueberries, splash of oj (fresh-squeezed of course)

so according to fitday that's 1421 calories, 19 g. fat, 328 g. carbs, 18 g. protein which breaks down to 83/12/5 carbs/fat/protein. not bad at all! actually that's kind of more food than i usually eat, but i was hungrier than usual today, and i also ran so i try to eat a bit more on running days.

it's weird but in the past i didn't think 811 could work. i used to get too hungry, or too bored of fruit, or dizzy & shakey. i think my main problem last time around was that i was anemic but didn't know it. now, i take an iron supplement daily- i sometimes take 2 on days i feel weak or shakey- and i feel fine now. last time, i couldn't run without my arms & legs going numb and feeling like i was going to pass out. now, my runs are great (although shorter than usual, but mostly b/c it's dark & cold when i'm out!). i think 811 will help my running/working out even more. i need to do some more research though!
