Weight: No battery....
One thing I have learned about myself on this diet is that breakfast is extremely important to stabilize my energy level & digestive system (it is working like clockwork these days! haha). I have never been one to eat breakfast unless it was put in front of me & always had a hard time eating cereal or cooking anything. However, in the past 37 days, I have become so accustomed to eating breakfast that it isn't even a second thought and I am thankful for that ~ I have noticed my sugar level doesn't fluctuate to such highs and lows and my attitude is better.
I am feeling ok this morning. Ally was up six times in the night so I didn't get much solid sleep. I will work out later this morning here at the house again.
Well I am thoroughly disappointed in myself. Today is the first day I have gone over 2000 calories - and not just slightly - grrrrr! I made some awful dining out choices this evening...boooooo - but after calculating the nutritional info, it has educated me more on what I am consuming, which I feel is the most important thing I have learned in the past six weeks.
Breakfast (350 cal/5.5 fat/68 carbs/13 pro): 3/4 cup Special K vanilla almond with 1 cup fat-free milk (190 cal/1.5 fat/37 carbs/10 pro) sprinkled with 2 tsp crushed almonds (50 cal/4 fat/2 carbs/2 pro) and 1 banana (110 cal/0 fat/29 carbs/1 pro).
Lunch (492 cal/14 fat/36 carbs/58 pro): Big chef salad ~ (292 cal/12 fat/21 carbs/27 pro) 2 cups lettuce & spinach leaves (16 cal/0 fat/4 carbs/1 pro), 3 carrot sticks (10 cal/0 fat/3 carbs/.5 pro), 2 oz grilled chicken breast (55 cal/1 fat/0 carbs/10 pro), 5 cherry tomatoes (20 cal/0 fat/4 carbs/1 pro), 1 egg Goldhen Aldis (70 cal/4.5 fat/1 carbs/6 pro), 1 tbsp Feta Cheese President (35 cal/0 fat/1 carbs/7 pro), 1 tbsp raspberry vinaigrette (60 cal/5 fat/4 carbs/0 pro) with 3 Kashi Fire Roasted Vegetable wheat crackers crumbled on top (26 cal/1 fat/4 carbs/1 pro) and 1 scoop Whey Protein with 1 cup fat-free milk (200 cal/2 fat/15 carbs/31 pro).
Snack (): No snack...had to run too many errands that time of day, but I should have brought along a Luna bar or something - I was hungry!
Dinner (1380 cal!!!!!!!!!!OMG is that right?!?!?!/40 fat/131 carbs/31 pro): I met Ashley at a Mexican restaurant and we split a chicken & mushroom burrito. It was so good, but after calculating my calories, I am not sure it was worth it! I am doing an estimate (I hope this is close):
1/2 cup lettuce (4 cal/0 fat/1 carbs/.2 pro)
2 oz pico de gallo salsa (20 cal/0 fat/2 carbs/0 pro)
White cheese sauce (50 cal/4 fat/3 carbs/0 pro)

2 tbsp sour cream (70 cal/5 fat/1 carbs/1 pro)

1/2 cup salsa (35 cal/0 fat/8 carbs/2 pro)
25 tortilla chips (275 cal/12 fat/30 carbs/3 pro)
1 margarita (350 cal/50 carbs) OMG I had no idea - I will never order another one!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea what got into me tonight - why didn't I order a Bud light or Bud 55????
1 Dos XX (130 cal/0 fat/9 carbs/0 pro)
1 8 oz glass of white zin (110 cal/0 fat/1 carbs/0 pro)

Activity: Level 1 30 Day Shred Jillian Micheals 20-minute video, 11-minute abs, and 30-minute 2 mile walk videos. Thank goodness I worked out - tomorrow I am going to have to PUSH it on cardio!!!
Well I have used and reused so many of the great meals from the Flat Belly Pocket Guide & I am ready for something new...I am thinking about ordering this book:
Sometimes you just need to go out and enjoy yourself- don't feel guilty for the yummy mexican food. Just work out harder and try and eat healthy meals the rest of the week. That is what I do anyway. :) Also- let me know if you order thatbook and like it- it looks really good! I might go to Barnes and Noble next week and check out the healthy cooking cookbooks- I will let u know if I find anything good.
