Last night I still wanted to eat those darn kettle chips. A special person from the WW message boards recommended that I get the baked Kettle chips instead. She posted the cals., fat, fiber. Very helpful and encouraging person. So I got some last night and I think I made a big step towards health, at least in my own mind. Instead of getting the fully fried kind that I really wanted in the full sized bag, I did something different. I bought the baked ones in a personal sized bag. This to me was a balanced effort to eat what I wanted yet stay on the healthier side of things too. So here I am, eating my wonderful snack. It amounted to 7 points. Another amazing thing is that I only ate 3/4 of the bag and gave the rest to my wife. By the way, these chips beat the pants off of baked lays because they are actual potato slices rather than compressed mashed potatoes.
I had a wonderful run last night too. I did 6 miles at a 8:51 pace. That is pretty good for me. My new training program calls for more pace work to enhance my fitness instead of all loooooooooooooooooong slow running. Long slow running got me in the shape that I am in and it is a great base, but as you know, I want more balance. I don’t want to run for 14 hours a week anymore. The program will get me in shape for my races in a little different fashion.
Other than the chips, my eating went well. I used 11 of my extra 35 points after eating my dinner and some popsicles. Over all it was a good WW day and night.
