Totals: 1336 calories, 43g fat (29%), 137g carbs (41%), 120g protein
(36%) {I've decided to up my daily calorie minimum to 1400 to see how
that goes, since I've been maintaining steadily at 144 lbs., but my
stomach is queasy just now and I don't want any more to eat tonight.
Besides, I'll be having a splurge meal tomorrow at a German wine
tasting/dinner.}

Exercise:

run, in repeated pattern (3 minutes at 4.8 mph, 2 minutes at 4.7 mph)

new max -- and next week I'm supposed to do 60 minutes :-).}

Food:

9:30 am - breakfast: cottage cheese w/Splenda (1/2 cup)
2:00 pm - snack: peanuts (1/2 a fist)
3:00 pm - lunch: whole wheat pasta with creamy mushroom sauce and grated
Parmesan cheese; salad (peppers, cucumbers and onions, dressed only with
olive oil and
apple vinegar)
9:30 pm - dinner out w/friends (planned): pizza with cheese and rucola
(don't know its English name, it's a lettuce, tastes a bit bitter and it
grows everywhere here)

Water - 3 l; Mineral water - 0.33 l
Prenatal vitamin

Exercise: walking, 2 hrs

This was my planned high carb day - eating pasta. I was hoping to avoid the
pizza dinner, but we went out with friends and their little girl wanted
nothing but pizza, and the restaurant offered nothing but pizza - not even a
salad bar :-0
According to www.fitday.com = 179 grams of carbs (39%), but 1743 calories.
Bad, but not too bad ;-)

Stats for the last week (July 12th - 18th): calories = 1402; fat = 83 gr
(54%); carbs = 89 gr (23%); proteins = 79 gr (23%). I should up the protein
intake a bit and lower the carb and fat intake.

Elly, in the UK we call this rocket. I'm not sure whether that's what
they call it in the US. I don't think it grows here, but it's popular
in salads - I rather like it.
