It’s the day before my first ever 5K race. I intend on walking the whole way. Tonight when Tishia Lee and I were walking, I got a small blister on my heel. My husband is telling me to put duct tape on it…LOL. I’ll give it a shot! Heck if it will prevent pain, I’ll try anything.

Food wise and exercise wise, I did pretty good. I got an A- according to Calorie Count. Here’s the breakdown.

Breakfast:

• South Beach Diet Cereal Bar
• 2 poached eggs with shredded cheese

Lunch:

• black beans with cheese and green chilies

Dinner:

• Subway Club Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette

Snacks:

• Planter’s Pistachio Harvest Nuts

Daily nutrition:

• Calories – 975 (too low-should be 1200-1400)
• Carbs – 65 grams (too low)
• Protein – 68 grams (too low)
• Fat – 52 grams (good- should be under 60)
• Saturated Fat – 20 grams (go0d- should be 20 or under)
• Cholesterol – 516 mg (way too high – should be 216 mg or less) Holy Moly!!!!
• Sodium – 2,846 mg (way too high – should be under 1500 mg) Another Holy Moly!!!!!
• Fiber – 17.4 (too low- should be at least 25 mg, but I take extra fiber capsules so I should be okay there)
• Sugar – 21 grams – (good-should be under 45 grams according to CC, but I try to keep it under 15 grams)

I also take extra Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium every day, as well as a daily multi-vitamin, so I should be okay with all of those.

I have got to figure out how to eat low carb, low sugar without all the sodium. Grrrrr. I guess I can start looking for lower sodium foods, especially when it comes to cheese and stuff. I don’t add salt to much, and I’ll definitely stop doing that all together.

If any of you have any advice on what good foods to eat on a low carb, low sugar, low sodium diet please let me know! Oh, I know, VEGGIES right! Yeah, I definitely need to incorporate more of those in my diet!

Oh shoot! I almost forgot! I walked 2 miles today.
