Had a 935 calorie day on Friday. That evening, we drove up to Killington - Saturday was to be the Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge. I'd be surrounded by barbeque, beer, and chips. How will I ever survive?
In the morning, I had a banana and an MRP, put into a nalgene bottle, shaked and drank. So far so good.
Lunch.. I brought a tuna steak. Cooked it on the BBQ next to all those delicious burgers and chicken and steaks and oh god what am I doing to myself??! The tuna was yummy.
As far as beverages, I drank seltzer water. yum.
I skied a lot, too.
Then, when we went back to the skihouse, I had soime bay scallops, with garlic and oil, on top of shirataki noodles. Finished the day with 935 calories. Shazam!
Sunday, well. I knew I would do this one day in the spring, and sunday was the day to do it. A local restaurant to the skihouse, named sugar and spice, boils sap into maple syrup in the basement. You eat on a floor above the basement, in a room heated by the boiling sap and filled with the aroma. You buy pancakes (or waffles or whatever), and then go downstairs to get some syrup, still hot from the boiler, and put that on your cakes.
So that's what I did in the morning, on a day that would end up with 1780 calories. Boy, what a pig I am! (:
Yesterday, Monday, I had 992 calories, but cravings to go along with it, probably a result of the pancakes.
Today, so far so good. 282 calories so far.. no cravings yet.
Oh, and I weighed 310.8 on the scale this morning. I am down 30 lbs in just over a month! Shazam!
coming soon - a long post about the 1000 calorie diet, the controversy surrounding it, and why I'm doing it.

2007-03-29 - my first day back
Well, cravings are back, as expected. Hopefully, they won't last two weeks like last time. Actually, they don't seem very bad at all.
I am very dissapointed to report that I broke 1000 calories today - had 1029, to be exact. That damn banana I put in my shake at the end of the day killed me. The spread was ok, though - 46% protein, 38% carbs, 16% fat. 22 grams of fiber.. probably more than I had the whole time I was in aspen. (:
the good news is that i'm almost out of the vanilla mrp packets that have been in my cupboard for two years now. i insist on using them up rather than throwing them out or letting them sit in the cupboard another two years, even though they're pretty high in calories - 260 - which is 26% of my calories for the day - in just one ingredient in one meal. i'm going to replace them with a much-lower calorie alternative - maybe just protein powder mixed with frozen fruit - or at the very most, an equiv. of myoplex lite - which is about 100 calories less. gives me a little more wiggle room.
by the way, 119 grams of protein in only 1029 calories - how do you like that, C?
--
Edit.. I made a mistake - I actually did come in under 1000 - 986 to be exact!
--
Edit#2.. I discovered another mistake which revised my total to a mere 950 calories. (:
this is funny. Let me restate my spread - protein: 47%, carbs: 41%, fat: 13%

sunburned and happy
My face is peeling and my lips are chapped to the point of bleeding (literally).. but boy am I happy.
Yep, colorado was fun as hell.
Diet damage - it could have been worse. I indulged constantly during the trip, and only have two lbs to show for it. I expect to lose those 2 pronto and be back on track. I'll be extra-aggressive for a while, just to catch up a bit.
This is how we got around the backcountry in aspen:
that was freaking hard to hold on to!! and a helluva workout! but fun, too..
Given the season, late march.. Colorado was brown in the valleys. Snow had recently melted and leaves hadn't had a chance to grow yet. It reminded me a bit of california. Yech!!
Can't wait to go back there in may and see it green, like in this photograph..
