Snack-free, Day 5 of 9 (May 27, 2023)

OK, I cheated again. But I can explain. Again!

Today I went for a run at Burnaby Lake:

  • I ran 5 km
  • The total distance walking to and from the lake was close to 14 km
  • Checking my Garmin Forerunner right now, it reports 27,019 steps
  • By my estimate, I burned about 10 million calories
  • I ate a slice of banana bread again, which I believe was no more than 5 million calories
  • Therefore, science says I have actually eaten negative banana bread
  • I’ll still be up in weight tomorrow, because I’ve drank something like 50 litres of water post-run

I also dropped in weight this morning, so I’m officially down for the month, if only by the barest margin possible, 0.1 pounds. Still!
