I'm back home so I'm going to catch up on the last three days now that I have my computer back.  Saturday was day 13.  I did the gorilla challenge (well attempted a few clues anyway) so I thought today would have been a really good day since I probably walked at least 10 miles throughout the day.  I did have McDonald's for breakfast though and did stop mid race at McDonald's for lunch too but ate while we were waiting for the El so I didn't have fries (too hard to carry) or pop.  I had 1 cheeseburger and a strawberry/banana smoothie (maybe more calories than the pop would have been).  But then we did eat pizza (pretty much a must if you are in Chicago) for dinner.  The slices were small squares so I didn't think I did too bad for the day (around 1300 calories) but as you'll see tomorrow I had a gain so I must have underestimated something.  Perhaps it was all the culture I gained by riding all forms of Chicago public transportation for the first time in one day.  Haha.

It was a great day and I realize in hindsight that I could have planned better for the food.  I should have taken a snack with me on the race and planned breakfast beforehand then the pizza wouldn't have made too much a difference.  One splurge in a day with 10 miles of exercise is ok, but not eating out on all 3 meals.
