Runners that need some nutritional accountability

We have had so much takeout & fast food the past few days. Everything tasty but it feels like too much.
Lebanese food last night. Leftovers for lunch today. And then I think a moratorium on fast food and takeout for the rest of the week!1 -
Today is a rest day and I am feeling antsy! I know I need to rest after yesterday's 8+ miles so I am really trying to sit and watch some football. 49ers are not playing well and it is hard to sit and watch the game. Maybe I will go shopping and just wander around Target for a while.
I baked oatmeal cookies last night. I try to make them pretty healthy but they still have sugar ad butter in them... but they are so delicious! I only finished baking about half the dough but will be sending some to my daughter and freezing the rest.
DH is smoking the 2nd pork tenderloin today that we will have with potatoes and veggies - green beans I think. Trying to decide how to fix the taters. I am sure he would prefer mashed but I am thinking pan roasted with some rosemary.1 -
@shanaber The Cardinals have been awful this year so go pack go for me. Lol
Target wandering usually gets me in trouble 😂😂😂
I have ground beef defrosting for dinner. Not sure what I'm doing yet. Leftover mashed potatoes for a side.
I am drinking my pre workout and will be doing delts & tris soon.1 -
@RunsOnEspresso - well the Packers didn't do so well again this week... The good news there is they beat the Bears and tied with the Vikings and the Vikings also lost today! Haven't made it to Target yet but I am heading there to wander soon - hopefully it won't get me into trouble too!0
-
I ate ice cream. And didn't go run. Letting the itb rest. All that time at pt and I cant remember my exercises...1
-
Today was rest day for me too. I didn't even go to Target to walk and wander around. DH made the smoked tenderloin and it was delicious with the roasted potatoes with plenty of leftovers for another meal.
@elise4270 - didn't they give you a printed sheet detailing the exercises? My PT always gave me a printed sheet and wrote out how many, how often I needed to do them. Maybe they just figured I wouldn't remember! They were right
There may be ice cream for me tonight and a cookie...
I am stressing over Hobbes the Vizsla who is sick. We have an appointment for him tomorrow afternoon.1 -

They did. And some how, none are in my baylor folder. Dd says I have dementia... not sure what I did ... or where I put them.. I just need to remember how I'm supposed to strengthen this minimus glute... that's likely the culprit for my itb pain... I can email her.
I have notes in my training book from Bobby on the right.. but I need Sruti's left.. perhaps I tossed hers inadvertently knowing I had his written down.
Today was so lazy. Ate so much. Must run more next week. Think I managed 7 miles this week with the heat then deluge and persistent, yet mild, itb complaints.
Aww hugs to Hobbs! Hope he feels better soon. Poor guy. Always so worrisome when they are sick. Prayers the vet is tip top tomorrow and he's on the road to recovery asap.1 -
@shanaber awww I hope Hobbes feels better. I will send him some positive puppy thoughts0
-
Trying to stay on the hit the calorie goal. Not sure if I will run today. We have to go to the grocery store. I wish DH would let me order online for pickup. I hate grocery shopping lol0
-
I havent done the online ordering yet. I think its be great, I just hate that it's a 24 hour wait. If it were 6-8 hours, its be perfect.
But I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow after work 24 hours from now... I may not be able to resist a run or bike, especially if I dont get my lazy kitten out there today (oh motivation!). Or what if I get stuck at work late (oh reason "i cant stay").
My do better goal this week is:
Maybe do the online ordering
Drink more water
And hit 13+ on the DQS daily...0 -
I don't know what the wait time is here but I know people that orde and pick up same day. Guess it depends on the store.0
-
Small victory: I only ate half of the reese's bar and it fit in my calories (but not macros).1
-
Hi all!
@elise4270 - what is the DQS app? I was trying for a while to do it manually and gave up an went back to just doing calories in MFP again.
@RunsOnEspresso - that is a great victory! If I started I would eat it all!
Grocery delivery - I have not tried it but thought about it with Whole Foods and Amazon now. The only problem is you have to join the Amazon Fresh or whatever the program is called like Amazon Prime and I really didn't want to do that. I am also not sure I want someone else picking out my fruit and veggies or even meat, for me. I am pretty picky. Packaged foods I don't really care but that is a small part of what I buy so if I am going to go for all the fresh stuff might as well do it all rather than pay someone to do it for me.
I had Hobbes to the Vet yesterday as he had his yearly checkup due anyways. He was throwing up Sunday so it worked out to get him in Monday afternoon. They did a full blood screen but we won't have the results for a while. They also checked out some growths - lumpy bumpys on his side which look to be fatty tumors and nothing to worry about. He is just young to be getting them already. He also has a growth on his leg that they biopsied and sent to the lab. His mom was diagnosed recently with cancer and I am really, really hoping it isn't. In the meantime he is still running with me and he went to agility class last night and I saw some of his usual spark and goofiness. Mostly he is just tired and really thirsty ☹️ Thanks all for your concern. I couldn't bear anything happening to him...1 -
@shanaber Glad Hobbs seems to be better. And hopefully the lump isnt cancer. Or if it has to be that it was caught early and very treatable.
The DQS app is the same system developed by Fitzgerald in app form. It user friendly. So far it has had me considering better choices to get that score up. I use it sporadically. I can do better there too.
I made it to 14 points yesterday on the dqs app. Little better.... Now to do better today. I was talking to dd last night, we both have the same pms pains. Stupid hormones, or lack of.0 -
I'm not sure if I'm doing well today or not. Ask me again later...2
-
I am definitely not doing well... was earlier but now I am stress eating
Got info back on Hobbes the Vizsla that the little growth on his leg is in fact a mast cell tumor
he will have surgery on the 9th to remove it and they will grade it then to see how bad it is. They know it isn't benign (Grade 1) so hoping for Grade 2 and that it is localized because he has had the growth for more than a year. HIs other vet wanted to monitor it thinking it was just a skin tag. 1 -
@shanaber Awwwww Hobbes 🖤 I will keep sending him positive puppy thoughts. It is so hard to have a pet go through medical stuff0
-
Thanks guys - I am trying to keep positive and look at all the options and possibilities.2

I tried to check in earlier today, find out how everyone is getting along with their food choices, but work got in the way. er a know, gotta keep busy when the boss is about. And i have this strange dynamic with a coworker. I haven't decide i entirely trust him... so I try to keep him at a distance, then he seems to sort of sulk. Trust as in repeating what i say and baiting me into talking about people just for the opportunity to tattle... I digress.
DH text me about dinner. deja vu.
him. "Whats for dinner?"
me. 4 minutes later "Cheese?, IDK been cleaning. Fried chicken? Ice cream? Loaded taters?"
him. 5 minutes later "I already order pizza"
10 minutes later he phones from walmart wanting to know if i wanted anything. Thought you were ordering pizza? him- "I did. just getting your ice cream. and we need dog food"
I said ice cream as a joke because hes been eating a lot of it. Same with the fried chicken. Now I'd have gone for a loaded tater... oh man, I have work to do....
Tell me you are doing better as we make our way into this lovely weekend.0 -
Edit because wrong thread.0
-
I did great yesterday until chocolate therapy in the evening.
However, I'm going to run this afternoon! Yay!2 -
Yesterday I gave up on logging and I know I am WAY over. I may go fill everything in just to see.
A co-worker wanted to get coffee and since I get coffee out maybe once a month I allow myself to get whatever I want. So I ordered a hot maple pecan latte. We get to Starbucks and she hands me an iced maple pecan latte. I tell her I got hot, she looks and goes yup. Ok, well you can keep the iced one too. Of course, I drink both at 440 calories each. Then we had frozen pizza for dinner and I ate half of mine. We are having the other half tonight. I pre-logged my pizza this morning and it was over 900 calories for half. HOLY *kitten*.
I had 9 miles this morning and am trying to be conservative with the rest of my food today. But UGH. Why can't coffee places read what the actual order is instead of assuming? 90% of the time in summer I still order hot but somehow the places don't read/listen and give me iced. I don't like iced as my main coffee because I feel I don't get as much caffeine, especially at Dunkin. Their iced stuff is like 99% milk. I am the weirdo that wants the coffee, not milk. I never have places "leave room" because I don't use that much milk/creamer. LOL1 -
IT. IS. TIME. TO. GET. REAL.
I've let myself backside long enough. From here to the rest of the year I'm imposing a no meat, thats not baked or IP'd, be consumed. I may have go so far to make myself have only veggetables, fruit (maybe eggs/dairy) outside the house. Of course, that doesn't mean i can go buy burgers and tacos and bring them to my little nest and eat them. I already do fine at home (sometimes). Work lunchs need serious improvement.
I already told dh "dont you dare buy ice crean this week, not even halo". I did find some Siggis yogurt out of town today. Not so far away i cant just do my shopping there. Hooray!
"Meow", lets have a nap with a belly full of diner breakfast food.0 -

Haha! I'd always lied to my food diary when it came to pizza. I'm better about it now.... No amount of exercise i do allows me pizza! How can they get so many calories in one slice? This is the stuff they should be sending to third world countries and places with foods shortages.0 -
Oh coffee and pizza - HAHAHAH!
@RunsOnEspresso - we have the same problem here with baristas assuming you want iced and not hot in the summer. I typically don't get iced because I often only drink half and then it gets too watery... If I want it iced I can pour it over ice myself. For what its worth the iced drinks at Starbucks are typically less calories than the hot because they don't have as much of everything in them. I don't like sweet coffee and I also want to taste the coffee not the milk or whatever - so if I get a mocha I will get it with the minimum chocolate and an extra shot of espresso. My fav drink right now is a Latte Macchiato. It has more coffee than milk, no flavoring and is pretty lite on calories. I still get it with an extra shot of espresso though. Most places assume I must want a caramel macchiato and it drives my husband crazy since he is the one typically going to get them and has to have them remake it all the time
I can't eat typical pizza - it gives me terrible stomach issues and I have no clue why. So when we get pizza I typically get a salad or something else. However I have discovered that I can have BJs and another local place's flatbread pizza that doesn't have tomato sauce. It is probably what we are having for dinner tonight...
@Elise4270 - I saw your diner food pictures and now I am wanting biscuits! The rest of it not so interesting to me but I love biscuits! Thinking maybe after my 10k in a couple of weeks we may have to go out for breakfast where they have them! That is a good incentive I think to make me run fast - ha!1 -
I logged yesterday for fun. 2900 calories. LOL My pizzas are always more calories because most gf flours have more calories than wheat flour. I had an against the grain brand last night. It was the first time I tried that brand and it was really good! It had a thicker crust than most gf pizzas! I should look and see what flours they used...
I don't like a lot of sweet coffee either. Just on my once in a while treat or when I can get skinny peppermint mochas. I put a tablespoon of half and half in my coffee (or 1 tsp of the powder stuff) just because I like a little creaminess.
I am going to go over calories today because I am hungry. Damn long runs.1
