Half Day

The last day of my 'weekend' is always an odd day out.
Tonight I go back to work, so I've got to sleep most of the day. Which is all fine and dandy, except it messes with my calorie counting. I mean, I have about 4 hours of wakey-time, and then I go back to sleep. It'd probably be a lot easier if I kept to my work schedule on my days off -- you know, awake at night and asleep in the day. And I would, except there's something that's just 'right' about sleeping alongside the person you love. I guess I just crave that presence next to me, even when I'm not conscious of it. But, Chel works days, so I sleep alone most of the time.

Anyway, i woke up hungry as an ox today, so before I go back to bed, i fixed me a breakfast sandwich:

Breakfast: 528 Calories

• 2 Slices bread: 90 Cal
• Ham (3 oz): 151 Cal
• Fried Egg (no oil): 92 Cal
• Curley's Hickory BBQ, 1 tbsp: 35 Cal
• Miracle Whip Light, 1 tbsp: 20 Cal
• Apple Juice: 140 Calories.

My BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate, amount of calories burned by spending 24 hours at rest in a temperature-neutral environment) figures out to be right around 2700. Basically, for me, today will be about a 36 hour day, when I got up this morning (~5am) until I wake up Saturday (~5pm). Since my self-inflicted target intake is 1500-1800 (between 1/2 and 2/3 BMR); my range for a 36 hour day would - mathematically - be 2250-2700 Calories. So, I have about 1700-2100 Calories to get me through the night. I should be okay.
