Week 4, Day 6

Just a reminder to those who didn't see it on Facebook but I remembered a site where counting calories is very easy now! Its FitDay.com you can make your custom foods where you can enter the specifics of the calories, fat, etc. Check it out!

Today was an early workout day to make up for yesterday. But as expected I got way too tired to go workout at night so I'll try this getting up early thing again tomorrow and do today's workout and then tomorrow night come hell or high water I have to go do my LCW (Last Chance Workout!!!!!!)

So the workout:

24min on bike @ 90-95rpms (inclined from 1 to 11, then 11 to 1, then back up to 5)

24min on treadmill @ 3.5mph (1.25 miles)

4 sets of 10 on ab machines

Pool work

1 breast stroke lap
2 kicking laps
2 butterfly lap
1 power walking lap
1 porpoising(up&down free dives) lap
1 underwater only lap

Given that I worked out first I thought it only appropriate to now mention the food second. So here goes:

Breakfast - Breakfast Sandwich (egg, turkey bacon, cheese, whole wheat muffin), 1 pancake with sugar free syrup (4" pancake)

Snack - None =(

Lunch - Home made sandwich (pepper jack cheese, 2 slices of eating right ham, 2 slice wheat bread), 1oz of chips, 12 apple slices, 1 bottle of water

Snack - 4 reese's peanut butter cups, 1 12oz Dr. Pepper (I know SOOO not good)

Dinner - 12" Sandwich from subway (Oven roasted chicken, pepper jack cheese, light mayo, honey mustard, all veggies, pepper, vinegar), 3 chocolate chip cookies, 24oz Dr. pepper (again NOT GOOD)

I have to give major acknowledgement to my good friend who told me that the Subway sandwiches were off the charts high in calories but it wasn't until I inputted it in Fitday.com that I realized how right he was!!

According to FitDay.com inputting all the food I took in into its "Custom Food" section I took in 4,414 calories. Which as I have learned 3,500 calories = 1 pound weight gain. So technically I gained 1 & 1/5 pounds of weight today without the exercise.

Now this is where FitDay and I get into an argument. If you go there they let you input your exercise into it. HOWEVER, it doesn't let you customize like for instance input your particulars on the bike or the treadmill it gives set numbers of calories. It says I burned more on the treadmill & bike then they said at the gym. Odd really But I'll go with it.

They also use a "average" calorie burn through your daily life doing regular day to day things "Sedentary" Lifestyle which after you input your workout it takes the leftover time in the day and figure how many calories you burn.

According to FitDay.com Sedentary 3,202 calories burned, 952 calories burned in exercise total of 4,443 calories in a day. Which would lead you to believe that I burned everything I ate. But somehow I find a flaw in that!

So anyway I'm pretty wiped out tired and have to be up in under 8 hours. So I bid you goodnight (sorry no pic tonight I'll make up for it tomorrow!)
