Day 17 ~ 1450 Calories

Well I was super excited when Julie told me she was reading my daily blog!! Thanks, Julie!! I am writing down my daily calories to keep myself accountable for what goes into my mouth & the physical activity I am doing everyday, but it sure was nice to know she was reading it & my sis-in-law also took the time to comment on yesterday's post! Yippee...perhaps I am not alone on this journey to a healthier lifestyle!! :)

I am scared to weigh myself in the morning - I ate too many calories today and didn't exercise...plus I feel bloated! I am going to do the jumpstart diet on Saturday to help flush out the beer from last night! Ugh!

Breakfast (350): One cup cornflakes (130), one cup fat-free milk (80), 1/3 cup applesauce (40), and 1 tbsp sunflower seeds (100).

Lunch (360): Mediterranean Sandwich ~ 2 ounces albacore tuna (55) mixed with 1 tbsp mayo (80), parsley, lemon juice (1), and 1 1/2 tbsp pine nuts (110) on whole wheat bread (110)

Snack (240): Strawberry smoothie (160) & one cheese stick (80)

Dinner (500! How did that happen??): California burger ~ I topped a pita (180 - this price chopper brand pita was a much higher calorie pita than the ones I bought at WM and thankfully I only have one left - they are not only more expensive & higher in calories, but they are dry!), 1/2 cup ground (deer) burger (140), 1 tsp mayo (15), topped with 1/2 sliced avocado (140), 2 tbsp diced red pepper (12), and 1/2 cup lettuce (4)

Activity: I played with the twins for about 20 minutes...does that count?!!? :)

Tip of the day from http://weightloss.about.com/: A normal-sized bottle of soda can pack in around 350 calories. Go back for a large soda refill or two at your local fast food restaurant and you could swallow as many as 1,000 extra calories with your meal. The best alternative for soda is to drink water instead...not only is it calorie-free, it offers many other health benefits. Try adding a sprig of mint or a slice of lemon to make it more palatable.
