I am an 18 year old female going off to college in the fall to be a varsity athlete. There is work to be done before I'm ready for that, namely, getting back into shape.
My sport is lacrosse. I've played for four years (though learned the basics a couple years earlier); for this I've practiced about 6 months out of the year 3-4 days a week for 1.5-2 hrs each practice. For the other six months I'm usually... sedentary. That lazy six months has in the past included the summer, but this year I received a preseason 12-week exercise program.
Today was Week 2 Day 6.
Here's what I did:
-skipped the warm up
-ran 2.5 mi (walked the other .5)
-30 minutes of crunches, v-ups and other fun ab things
-stretched
This is what I ate:
-2 slices wheat toast w/butter and cinnamon sugar
-2 c. chocolate milk
-1 slice supreme pizza
-1 c. boiled shrimp
-an appropriate amount of cocktail sauce
-1 can Diet Sunkist
-ceviche w/ tortilla chips
-1 pork chop
-asparagus
-a snack pack of Nutter Butter Bites
-a handful of frozen grapes
This has been estimated at 1700 calories by caloriecount.about.com, who also estimates that I need 2500 calories per day to maintain weight. This was a pretty standard day for me in terms of both exercise and food, I've weighed within 5 lbs of what I now I am for at least 2 months. seems fishy.
Other than that, today I cut my hair, took a mid afternoon 2-ish hour nap, and spent almost all of my other waking hours on my laptop. Fun.
